Yes, I interviewed Ron Wells (who is half of Hedgehog Affair among many others) 2 years ago for an online music magazine. Nice guy who's starting to make records again.

Also, they're erroneously called Hedgehog Affair, that's the. Name of the EPs. They're proper name is Rush 'Til Dawn.

I prefer hedgehog affair but did think that Rush till dawn was there correct moniker after seeing the labels. Also I looked on discogs and Ron Wells has an EP out this year.

Yeah, his new stuff is great, all synthesis, no samples, in that classic 1992-93 Basement Records-style.

RIP Tango, one of the true pioneers and with both of us coming from Coventry, a man whose tapes my friends and I played to death when I was young. In the playground he and Ratty were talked about just as much as The Prodigy etc.

I'm shocked, both in the fact of his early passing, and the fact that I have shed a few tears, which I never do when anyone "famous" dies.

Sad, sad news, RIP Tango, currently pissing off my neighbours with this classic.

I always liked how he was one of only two artists I can remember (the other being Foul Play) who saved the best bit of the tune for the last 20 seconds.

Which is at the beginning of the original version is I remember rightly.

Edit - Just auto played it on YouTube and I'm right.

On the subject of Formation Records I've just found this on discogs, very, very tempted even though I do already own a couple of these 12"

I knew it was too good not to use!

I've got that Formation box (on CD though), it's pretty good. Worth a purchase I'd say, although for a definitive Formation release I'd say they were missing off quite a number of the better tunes (Dark Sides for example)

the

Trying to ID a tune:

I was listening to Breakpirates radio yesterday (which is well worth doing full stop), and a rave tune was played that was a fucking belter:

Lots of breakbeats and stabs and zaps and cutting back and forth, right up my alley. The only thing I've got to pin it down was that there was a pitched-up vocal sample that said "Just a little bit" (no, not Gina G).

The sample might well have been from Respect by Adeva, although I couldn't be 100% about that.


Looking on Whosampled, You Got To Show Me by Agent-X (1991) is in the right timeframe and uses an Adeva sample, but I don't think that's it. (There's no audio to check the Agent-X tune, but the timestamp indicates that it uses the 'You got to show me' bit of the vocal and nothing else).


Any ideas? (Lots of samples, sounded like potentially 1992 ish?)

Clips from the rave episode of Casualty. Some top unreleased tunes made especially for the show, and the face the guy pulls after saying "yooou are not supposed to be heeeeere" at 2.10 has made me laugh like a drain.

Andy C - Bass Constructor??

Breakpirates is ace.

Nice bump :-)

Here's a tune I'd not heard for many many years. It's a happy, uplifting and some might say borderline cheesy tune, but I love it! I've been listening to it all weekend.

Warp 69 - Natural High (Original Mix)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToVy5EYXyxY

If anyone's interested, I'm in the process of ripping and uploading my collection of old rave tapes here www.mixcloud.com/jw31209/ 

They're probably around half jungle/D&B and half old skool hardcore, with a few bits of house and techno and other stuff thrown in too. The above tune was on an old Fabio tape which I'll upload soon (trying to upload 1-2 tapes a day at the moment).

Fraid not, nice try though. That uses the 'all I need is a little' part, rather than 'just a little bit' (which, as said, might not have been from Adeva anyway).

There's the famous Global Communications remix, a Dave Angel remix that I've never heard, but also this one from GC's Mark Pritchard and Dom Fripp under their Chaos & Julia Set name

Are there any other vocal samples on the track that might help ID it?

Re: Breakpirates, I've known most of the DJs from online for over ten years and you'd be hard pushed to find a more knowledgeable bunch regarding tracks. Also, if you're in London, they throw the odd all-day party at the Gunner's Pub. Not that I've ever been due to a case of distance and crippling social uselessness.

I'm going through one of my periods where I barely listen to any rave tunes, but here are a few goodies

Splendidly named

Raving Mad - Adrenalin (Remix) - [Deja Vu]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53vV3qrBfMs

More on a house tip from '93, but I like the energy of it

S.A.I.N. - It's Alright - [Nitebeat]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfqgCCP1tz4

A tune from 2007 when Basement Records restarted and was pushing out some of the hardcore breaks stuff. I'm generally not a fan of new old skool stuff, I find it quite boring, but this rolls along quite nicely

Ragga To Riches - Love is High - [Nu Basement]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KmrgSJqNBE

A nice little fun tune from the Rushamuffin EP

Asmo - Security - [Amass Recordings]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_q-0EXKJ4r0

Gonna end on another house tune, one of my all-time favs. I know everyone knows it, but it's always a good listen - spot the Prodigy sample!

Gat Decor - Passion - [Effective Records]

It's the bass fill, despite knowing both tunes inside out since release i only chanced on the knowledge about 6 months ago whosampled.

And it's so obvious.

BlodwynPig

This randomly came up today on my music player. A reminder how much fun it was discovering old trance/ambient trance/hardcore/breakbeat records a few years after the fact (late to the party).

Quad - UR Her Egg

stranger

Can't remember if I've already posted this, but here's a very dark and strange one I only recently ID'd. Nice and trippy.

II Exodus - The Dark Spirits

I first heard it on this Mickey Finn tape years ago but had no idea what it was. There's something about it that really appeals to me, a unique sound, slightly unnerving but very atmospheric. Love it.

That's really good, for early 92 it sounds ahead of its time.

Brilliant tune, overshadowed by Why on the A-side - Samples Maggie!

D-Livin - Up Their Head

Nice. Sounds like some second-hand beats from Papua New Guinea are buried in there.

By a weird coincidence, earlier today I added a sample of Fatch to a tune I'm currently working on.

Big tune from back then that was on the cusp of d&b - one of the tunes that caught my ear and as a house head opened me up to the possibilities of hardcore.

What is she doing to those decks and mixer?

Anyway, a bit more of a well-known track, chocked full of sample goodness.

Fucking Youtube, since when has it gone with 2 adverts for most videos. Ruins any subsequent track having to see SHITE like that.
