All tracklists, Mixcloud and BassDrive archive links via northerngroove.co.uk or hit the link in my bio. Another class month of fine D&B releases, plus a few older classics thrown down. Hope you dig! #northerngroove #dnb #drumandbass #bassdrive
This is the first record that I ever played in a p This is the first record that I ever played in a public venue. 21 years ago in Manchester’s iconic Dry Bar. One of my favourite intros to any track... Dave Wallace (of Aquasky) remix of ‘Walking Wounded’ by Everything But The Girl (1996). Resident DJ Chris Jam invited Esper and myself down to spin. Playing D&B back then was a risk. It had a bad reputation and many venue managers just didn’t want it. But Dry Bar was different. This was a quiet Thursday night, but we got people dancing to some beautiful D&B. Dry Bar sadly closed a few years ago. It was opened in 1989 by Anthony Wilson & Factory Records as a sister venue to the infamous Hacienda nightclub. Its groundbreaking interior was designed by Ben Kelly. Laurent Garnier was a chef at Dry Bar then, before making the switch to DJing at The Hacienda. I never made it to the Hac, it closed a month before I moved to Manchester in ‘97. Around the same time Hale Leisure acquired Dry Bar. After finishing university, in 2000 I worked for Hale Leisure in many of their city centre bars, as a chef by day and a DJ by night. At the turn of the new millennium there was a fantastic hip hop, live beats & mic night at Dry Bar called Eardrum. By then, the hedonistic spirit of peak Hacienda and those early Dry Bar days had long since evaporated, but Manchester’s Northern Quarter bar scene was beginning to flourish, Dry Bar’s influence was obvious. #everythingbutthegirl #ebtg #davewallace #aquasky #drumandbass #dnb #remix #vinyl #record #northerngrooves #drybar #manchester #dj #memories
A Tricky Situation... I recently had to get one of A Tricky Situation... I recently had to get one of my Technics 1200s serviced. Thankfully, I knew someone who could do it during lockdown. When I collected it I also bought a few records off him. So I took this 1995 Tricky ‘Pumpkin’ 12 for 50p - a blind purchase on account of the Alex Reece remix. ~ Tricky attending Speed nights with the likes of Björk and Goldie at Mars Bar back then. But Tricky popped up randomly in my life again yesterday, twice!... My daughter and I watched Beyoncé’s 2011 Glastonbury re-run on the BBC, when she invited Tricky on to sing ‘Baby Boy’ with her. What followed was a bit cringeworthy, as Tricky looked caught in Beyoncé’s full-beam sequinned headlights! (Who wouldn’t!), he then disappeared, saying later that his mic didn’t work. Then last night I watched the 1997 movie The Fifth Element - for the first time. Up popped Tricky as a baddie! He did some alright acting, while I really enjoyed the whole OTT sci-fi vibe. #tricky #alexreece #drumandbass #dnb #beyonce #glastonbury #northerngrooves

Rewind exactly 20 years ago... Thursday morning I Rewind exactly 20 years ago... Thursday morning I got my Desmond 2:2 BA(Hons) degree, then by the afternoon we were driving down to Glasto listening to DJ Hype tapes in the car. The rest is a bit hazy, but I deffo remember going straight to the dance tent around noon on the Friday to see E-Rollers. It went off big style when this tune ‘RS2000’ dropped - I got soaked in beer! Other highlights for me that weekend; smoking magic mushrooms to Cypress Hill 🤪, Moloko making the sun come out.

First post! Had to pinpoint the first D&B track to First post! Had to pinpoint the first D&B track to melt my head! ‘Danny’s Song’ by PFM - shoutout to @progressivefuturemusic ! It was 1996 and I’d recently discovered Orbital’s back catalogue and their new album ‘In Sides’. I adored their track ‘The Girl With The Sun In Her Head’. Then I discovered D&B ~ through Goldie’s Timeless album and this Logical Progression compilation. Danny’s Song seemed to chime with everything that I liked right then. #momentsintime #drumandbass #dnb #pfm #ltjbukem #logicalprogression #orbital #northerngrooves

Absolute triple platinum classic! An album that de Absolute triple platinum classic! An album that defined a scene. Soul II Soul ‘Club Classics Vol.1’ 1989. Waffle: I wouldn’t class myself a crate digger, but I did spend a lot of my 20s in charity and second hand vinyl shops. It’s always been a buzz to find a great record for next to nothing. During the 90s and 00s that was definitely an easier feat than today. But I wish I’d known then what I know now. Although, it’s really only now that I’m properly enjoying these collected records, listening to them as the intended ‘album’ format. I bought many of these albums with the intentions of DJing, but things went digital. The label says £3 on this Soul II Soul album, but strangely I have no recollection of where or when I got it. #souliisoul #northerngrooves #instavinyl #vinyl #album #twelveinch #record #vinylrecord #vinylcollector #vinylcollection #vinyloftheday #albumoftheday #vinylcommunity #nowplaying #nowspinning #cratedigging #music #analog #audio #hifi #stereo

Oh boy! One of the first records in my collection. Oh boy! One of the first records in my collection. The only record I own that belonged to my late Grandad Frank. Given to me by my Nan shortly after he passed. I adore Buddy Holly’s music. He was an absolute hit machine - in the very short time that he rocked and rolled this earth. Buddy had a huge influence on Elvis, Dylan and The Beatles. This compilation, possibly bought by my Grandad, on release in 1967, is pristine! It sounds fabulous. I can almost smell the valves! I love making these insta posts... Whilst listening to the records, I read the sleeve notes and check wiki to discover further info, such as... “When Buddy’s plane crashed, the wreckage was strewn across many yards of snow-covered ground. While his other belongings were recovered immediately, there was no record of his signature glasses being found. They were presumed lost until, in March 1980, they were discovered in a Cerro Gordo County courthouse storage area by Sheriff Gerald Allen. They had been found in the spring of 1959, after the snow had melted, and had been given to the sheriff's office. They were placed in an envelope dated April 7, 1959, along with the Big Bopper's watch.” #buddyholly #rocknroll #legend #northerngrooves #instavinyl #vinyl #album #twelveinch #record #vinylrecord #vinylcollector #vinylcollection #vinyloftheday #albumoftheday #vinylcommunity #nowplaying #nowspinning #cratedigging #music #analog #audio #hifi #stereo
