Profile

I have been buying what we now call oldskool house music since 1991 and been a DJ ever since. I love all kinds of music and am still learning about new tracks and mixes on a daily basis and of course still filling the gaps in my collection. In the early 00's I sold over 4000 records on ebay with the same user name (99.8% positive feedback).

My collection is on Discogs - I am now looking at selling a large proportion of my records. All have been lovingly kept safe and sound over the last 25 years.

Check out my Hardcore, Drum and Bass, House, Trance, progressive House and Chill out mixes on you tube:

I think its simple economics - supply and demand. Decent track TBF and hence why the price was always so high.

First came to light on Sasha's "givin it up" Kiss FM 3 hour mix in Feb 1993. Diggers made a guest appearance and played the original white label mix that at the time he called "The 5th Essence". This was without a doubt was the first mix, minus the... See full review

Stunning UK progressive house from 1993, one of the highlights of Sasha's now famous Kiss FM mix back in Feb 1993.

You have a point, but still as an acetate for this track you could argue this was the original track title and it was changed later. The acetate would have come before an original release. Perhaps making this as rare as hens teeth.

One of the most iconic Sasha mixes, perhaps his first proper studio mix. The original tape starts with bird and jungle noises and runs throughout the mix in places. The tracklist is vintage Sasha, with massive but still underground tracks from 108... See full review

The masters of progressive house strike again - they take a strong track in its own right (from the excellent Album Open) and club it up and retain the beautiful breakdown and vocals, adding a fantastic bassline. Such a classy track. Love it

This is progressive house - the perfect tune a deep driving beat and bassline and then one of the best breakdowns, moody, uplifting, moving and those ethnic chants drop and the tune goes off. A beautiful and much overlooked record. Buy it on sight.... See full review

The Evolution remix of Aquarius is there best work since Phoenix, perhaps better that the original mix. Lush, driving melody that cannot keep me off the dance floor. A big tune for progressive and trance DJ's.

You could always rely upon Formation to produce ep with big tunes. I bought this back in the day for the excellent String of Darkness (big Sy Obession tune) and you flip it over and find Darkman, equally big played out by everyone. Great ep

I met the guy who made this record at a business meeting, we got on to chatting about music and especially house music and he mentioned he had knocked up this record and promised to send me a copy - top bloke and decent booty remixes they are too.

The UK's progressive house sound in 91/92 and to some extents early 93 could not be beaten, this classic from DOP gave us 2 massive tunes that if you were on the dancefloor forced you to move, dance, enjoy. The E's helped of course but listening now... See full review
