Have a gander at the stuff ive successfully submitted, its all a bit random isnt it? Everything from dodgy euro-pop from the mid-80's to Gabber.
If youve bumbled over to this page to contact me, Im more than happy to discuss why voted your pending a certain way or if you need some more info. But before you click 'Contact' and launch into a tirade of abuse, take a deep breath and count to ten...after all theres more important things in the world. Ill be more than happen to listen to your POV, but be nice :D
Please check my 'For Sale' list for hundreds of trance, house, breakbeat, garage, progressive, hard house and hardcore records mostly at bargain prices. Help me see more of my bedroom floor, place an order today! :D For the benefit of anyone intending to ask me whether Im selling something from my collection, please bear in mind that if I was intending to sell it, then I would already be selling it. Swaps for items in my wantslist will be considered.
I welcome people emailing me offers or links to ebay auctions for tunes in my wants list but dont offer me stuff for $60 or something daft like that because 1) i dont have that much money and 2) i dont need any record badly enough if theres a chance i can get a bargain - more or less everything in the collection has been bought at shop prices or less, so I'm not going to start paying 20-30 quid for tunes now am I?
And if you're selling more than one item on my wantslist, theres no need to send me more than one mail. I check all items people have for sale. Save your own time as well as mine :)
Note: If you even ASK for MP3s i'll let the Rottweilers go - Go buy the records!
'It is obvious that disc-jockeys, as, a class, are essentially parasitic. We are, with lamentably few exceptions, neither creative nor productive. We have, however, manipulated the creations of others (records) to provide ourselves with reputations as arbiters of public taste.' John Peel, 1969
'The irony of the Information Age is that it has given new respectability to uninformed opinion.' John Lawton, 1995

Partyraiser - Here I Cum - 03-Sep-08 01:04 PM
The first thing I thought when I put this on the decks is 'what a waste of vinyl'. Not because the tracks turned out to be especially bad - they're not, its the usual Tieum-style functional hardcore with a dirty kickdrum and some twisty filter-tastic vocal samples and noises. Nothing ground-breaking but nothing terrible neither. Its a waste of vinyl in the sense that the track on each side take up less than half the space available on the vinyl. There was nothing stopping this ep being released as a 10" or even a 7". There is certainly enough room on the vinyl for at least one more track per side, why this opportunity wasnt taken up I dont know. Especially seeing as the other releases on Arena I own have at least 3 tracks spread across the vinyl.
Ragga Twins, The - Illegal Gunshot / Spliffhead - 15-Aug-08 04:14 PM
'Illegal Gunshot' is not only a damn good tune but the subject matter is as relevant now as it was then. The track managed to approach the menace of gun culture with humour and clever imagery. Flinty Badman talks about hearing people in the street talking about guns, he hears 'gun talk' lyrics in the songs in the dance and finally 'then me ere a man bawl/eh, me bredren get shot' where Flinty manages to convey the danger and panic of a gun fight in a packed club but still uses rhymes that make you smile.
DJ Murphy Brown* - Axel F. 2003 - 18-Jun-07 09:52 PM
If the premise of jazzing up the Harold Faltermeyer track into a embarassing inbred relative of 'Zombie Nation' weren't bad enough, this is the track then a couple of years later mutated into the debut single by Crazy Frog (the producers of this being one half of the team behind the frog's output). So what was a terminally cheesey euro-trance track is now more unlistenable because you can't stop yourself from mentally adding the 'ding ding' of the damned frog.
Hellfish & Producer - Non Standard Procedure - 15-Jun-07 12:19 PM
Belting 2 tracker of hardcore techno this, special mention has to be made to the intro to the A, which game-nerds will recognise as the sequence from the early part of the award-winning game 'Half-life'. Though this isn't a case of a dramatic sample separate from the track itself, the voices and sounds blend seamlessly with the backing track and then are manipulated and incorporated into the track, i.e. the sound of the malfunctioning equipment at Black Mesa and Gordon Freeman's breathing become part of the breakdown mid-way through the track. Lets all hope something similar is done with some samples from Half-Life 2.
Strictly Underground Records - 03-Jun-07 10:04 AM
True story - back in the early 90s I was a naive teenager in the pre-internet days, I used to phone up a few record companies to find out a bit about upcoming singles and so on - for instance a nice lady at XL Recordings would tell me about Prodigy tour dates and the like. So imagine my surprise when I phoned up Strictly Underground records using the number of the record sleeve and Mark Ryder himself answered the phone (what?, to my mind at the time 'companies' might they had receptionists and stuff. Just run with me on this one...) Once I'd finished being a gushing fanboy we chatted for some while and I learnt a good few things about the music industry in general and the gulf between the corporate and the underground. Mr Ryder was more than happy to talk at length about the way he wanted to take his brand of music and his words definately went unminced - I recall the guy was particularly scathing about Suburban Base and their 'selling out' of the Smart-Es records. S.U. was an excellent label which moved from early hardcore to full-on jungle with ease while never compromising. And mention has to be made for those charmingly home-made sounding adverts featured on some of the albums: 'oi oi! Strictly Underground Records in the place!'
