Another Place - Another Time Mixed By Original Gidman

This mix is a trip back to "Another Time - Another Place". LISTEN HERE

Throughout the summer of 89 through to 1990 and into 1991, Myself and a group of friends aka The Chaos Clan would experience a musical and cultural journey like many others around the country, searching for something different than the normal !

Illegal parties, raves and gatherings sprung up all around our local area in Folkestone and surrounding villages, with psychedelic nights held in "sweatbox" venues such as "Bottoms", "Heroes", "The Labour Hall", "Toffs" and "The Soundhouse". Hazy memories of open-air all-nighters down at "The Zig-Zag path and Toll Road", also at the bottom of the Whites Cliffs of Dover and larger venues such as "The Metronome" have stayed with me.

During these times, life changing expereinces were had and friendships were formed... which have lasted to this day....

This 3 hour mix is a journey through the sounds of that time, a personal selection of tracks played by the Room 6 lads.... Jeff, DJ TNT, Deckstalker, Mr G along with fav's of that era played by myself and Gary C aka "G-Force".

Of course this mix isn't a comprehensive list, its simply tracks that I remember from the time... tracks that got played in
"Another Time - Another Place".

However, for me 1987 was that wonderful time where all the elements came together, and the warehouse parties around the country began to reflect this.

Another Night at Equinox '93-94'

Following on from my previous mix "One Night At Equniox '92-93", this new mix continues in the same vain.....

Millwaukes or "The Fun House" as it was known, was one of the first legally all-night licensed clubs in the UK, hosting regular events from Helter Skleter, ESP and of course Equinox.

What was great about those nights was the consistant and amazing DJ line up's. With it being centrally located, it would capture both Midland/Northern based DJ's heading south and London DJ's heading north.

This mix is my homage to those very special nights. That legendary 25k Cerwin Vega + 5k Sub Base sound system, that would pummel your ribcage with its earth shattering sub base. The combination of jungle rhythms alongside 4 the floor piano bangers and techno stompers. The intimacy that was created by the DJ being so near to the crowd... and what a crowd and what a vibe.....

All hail "The King Of Clubs".

Of course, this mix isn't a comprehensive list, its simply tracks that I remember, tracks that got played by some of my favourite DJ's during my times at Milwaukees, Dj's such as Ratty, Tango (RIP), DJ SS, DJ Clarkee, Ellis Dee, Top Buzz, Slipmatt, Fat Controller, Mastersafe and so many others.

More Goodness For You.... 92'
Mixed By Original Gidman

Following on from Good For You 92'... this is Part 2

LINK TO MIX HERE

"1992..... the raves got bigger and better as the scene catered for the every increasing popularity of the culture. Promotors such as Fantazia, Dreamscape/ESP, Perception, Raindance, Universe, Telepathy, Spiral Tribe, World Dance, Ektos and many more put on legal and illegal open air events. Regular club nights with all night licences, up and down the county like Millwaukes, The Eclipse, Shelly's, Club Kinetic, Labrynth, Sterns, AWOL, Orange would be packed every weekend.

Like so many, myself and crew would travel up and down the country, every weekend... hitting as many of these nights as we could. Particular nights that stand out would be Perception's 'Real Dream' in Longleat Safari Park, Fantazia's 'One Step Beyond' at Castle Donninghton, Dreamscape IV at the Sanctuary and Dreamscape V in Hull, World Dance in Lydd Airport and, AWOL at the Paradise.

Of course, this mix isn't a comprehensive list, its simply tracks that I remember, tracks that got played by some of my favourite DJ's during 1992 whether it was in a field, under a marque or big top or in a club..... these tracks will always remind me of 92.... More Goodness For You."

The King Of Clubs


THE KING OF CLUBS

This post is a dedication to the 'King Of Clubs' Milwaukees, previously Castaways - which was located at the Souldrop Turn between Rushden and Bedford at the Junction of Stocking Lane and the A6. It was one of the first legally all-night licensed clubs in the UK, hosting regular events from Helter Skleter, ESP and of course Equinox. 

I've brought together as many pictures, flyers, mixtapes and comments that celebrate, what many clubbers of the day, believed was one of the best clubs of the early 1990's.




The combination of a low ceiling and that legendary 25k Cerwin Vega + 5k Sub Base sound system that would pummel your ribcage with its earth shattering sub base, made it into the goto club of the era. What was particularly great about those nights was the consistent and amazing DJ line up's. With it being centrally located, it would capture both Midland/Northern based DJ's heading south and London DJ's heading north.



“The venue was perfect and due to rural location there was no noise restrictions, it had a low ceiling so it was hot in there and that made it a sweat box, but hundreds of ravers would travel there every fortnight see and listen to resident DJs Clarkee, Dougal, Matersafe and Swanee and guest artist like Carl Cox, Jumping Jack frost Frankie Valentine and Grooverider to name but a few. You had to get there early for a chance to get in, ravers would start queuing at 7 in the evening before the doors opened at 9pm”. (DJ Breeze) LINK




Milwaukees used to open every Friday night, hosted by ESP one weekend, then Helter Skelter the next......






Words from DJ Fat Controller.....


"Milwaukees was one of those places that was constantly rammed with people up for it. Every week the place was on a high, so no matter what, every set you played the crowd was bang up for it… There are obviously a couple of standout moments of the many sets over the years though: once, when during a “last set of the night”, the crowd kept screaming for “one more” – that kept on going until 7am, a full hour after the official closing time of 6am. I can even remember some of the “one mores”: Panic Remix, Dub War, Collision Course – they all still bring back memories of that hour. On another occasion, whilst playing “In Complete Darkness” the club had a powercut due to a thunderstorm. No power for a whole 30 minutes, with the security flashing torches around so people could see their way around. Then, the moment the power kicked back in, the start of 31 Seconds… The place just blew!" LINK



Words from DJ Clarkee ...... 

"Undoubtedly the togetherness. People from all over the country making a weekly pilgrimage… pre-opening milling around the car park… the apprehension in the queue… the sheer power in the bass, making the whole place shake… the low ceilings covered in camo netting. Every aspect of the place made it special. It certainly has its place right at the top of rave history. From ESP, Helter Skelter to Equinox, breaking new DJs to featuring headliners at the top of their game – the weekly line-ups would almost be unbookable these days due to cost!" LINK


Words from MC Juiceman ......

"I became resident at Milwaukee’s in 1991, progressed to ESP Dreamscape and Helter Skelter and many other events before Dez took over and came into our old record shop and asked me if I could do a night for him.

I was resident for a year, Ratty brought Hooligan to do a set as I was MCing all nights and we needed to switch it up. I asked for him to join the ranks which he did and became a resident and a big part of Milwaukee’s history" LINK

The club would be open pretty much every Friday, initially hosted by ESP one weekend, then Helter Skelter the next, and then later Equinox.

Here are the flyers from those years, its not totally complete (missing a few) but it gives you an idea of the level and quality of those line up's. (Big thank you to Dave Phatmedia for help with some of these flyers - You can check there collection HERE)
