Oldskool ministry of sound top tunes ?
Jump to: Newest in thread
I worked for ministry of sound and underground 90's raves as a dj/mixer.
If you loved those days what was your fave dance/rave classic that leaves you misty eyed if you happen to hear it now ?
An associate got to top the charts with " raving i'm raving " by Shut up and dance so that's my choice. |

I have loads but was listening to this earlier.
Just to do her hair now
Because she cares you all
Her day wouldn't be right
Without her make up
She's never out of make up
She's just like you and me
But she's homeless,
she's homeless
As she stands there singing
for money.
La da dee la do dow

"That's a tidy quantity of vinyl.
Have around 20'000 but not all dance music by any means probably around a quarter of my collection."
Stopped djing about ten years ago now, went to a muse gig and changed my direction in music totally. Now it has to be guitar laden rock alt....weird hey!!! I wish I could play guitar as good as I could mix lol!!!!
My collection is diverse as when I started there were so many types if music played in clubs so early hip hop to American house to hardcore.
One thing though is music has always been a huge part of my life whatever genre I have been into, only thing in life after my daughter that I couldn't live without, and yes even more so than sex lol!!!! |

Mr Fingers - Can You Feel It (1986)
"In the beginning, there was Jack, and Jack had a groove.
And from this groove came the groove of all grooves.
And while one day viciously throwing down on his box, Jack boldy declared,
"Let there be HOUSE!"
and house music was born." |

no offence to Ade, but i doubt it..lol
Bad enough trying to find the tune you want on the laptop they use as nothing is in a decent file/folder order - you can tell by the face Dave pulls when the tune is about to run out and he cant find what he wants..lol |

Would be in heaven listening to all them on 12" properly mixed"
That sounds like a damn fine idea, I only know the names of the tunes from seeking them out on you tube for the most part. Mix tapes never had inlay cards It's good fun finding them again.
Someone mentioned darude sandstorm so I give you
Darude - Feel The Beat another great bouncy tune.
Happy Days, off to glastonbury next week and about the only DJ I recognise is Nick Warren on the Thursday, any other old skool ravers going? Bring back Tribal Gathering I say... Pretty much the same as Global gathering though. |

Thank you kind sir, you not going this year? It's hard not to have a blast at glastonbury though. Taking my mate, who has just discovered she's bi, it's her first festival, she took me to my first rave many many moons ago after I took her to a Pink Floyd gig. |

A friend of mine saw Pink Floyd perform all the new material from Dark side of the moon at Southampton uni around the release of the album.
What a piece of history to have been there eh ?
Afraid I can't go this year to Glastonbury which via sod's law should guarantee you glorious weather and I hope that it does. |

That's cool, good memories. I was a bit young then Going to see Roger Waters do the wall in september, seen him do dark side of the moon a couple of times. Not the same as Floyd but still pretty good.
Don't want to much sunshine at glastonbury I go lobster red, peel and go white again lol 2010 was too hot, no rain but you couldn't buy an umbrella for love nor money... Sunny with occasional clouds would be ideal maybe light shower every so often to dampen down the dust. As long as it's not 05 or 07 type of rain...
