Vibes talks to HappyHardcore.com ahead of Tasty: The Harder Revolution in the UK
Author: benz
If you're in the UK, London's biggest regular Hardcore event Tasty is back this weekend on Saturday 16th September 2006 - bigger and better than before Espread over Renaissance Rooms' 5 rooms, with Hard Dance and House/Electro arenas in support! Vibes talked to use briefly to wax lyrical about the scene...
Q: You're playing at Tasty on September 16th, Billy Bunter's world beating hardcore and hard dance night. It definitely seems there aren't quite as many big rave-ups like this as there were a few years back. Would you agree? Do you think it's a problem?
Yes this is true, but there are much more small events playing many different styles of music. In the days of '94/'95/'96 there was only really jungle and maybe a bit of house and garage, so the nights were limited with a lot of nights combining them all, and as we know Ehardcore and jungle which I thought never worked. I don't think the crowds mixed too well. But now there's so many great and varied styles of night-out themes a massive choice of crazy brilliant events catering for everyone.
Q: When did you first encounter Billy "Daniel" Bunter then? Were you already well established by the time he started playing out?
The first time I ever heard about BDB was when I used to read his reviews in Double Dipped magazine. He would review records and give them a mark out of ten. So I went to Labyrinth on Dalston Lane to give him a copy of my first record "Sing It Loud / Music's So Wonderful". I gave it to him when he was playing. And he rang me on the following Tuesday to say how much he liked it.
Q: What happened after that?
On the same night I met Joe & Sue, the promoters of Labyrinth, who have me some bookings for the club. So I met Bunter much more from then on. And I can always remember the laughs we always had, and have even more these days.
Q: Do you think it has become harder or easier for DJs to breakthrough over the years?
Most definitely harder because the scene is so established. And regrettably it is who you know as well as what you know. It's always been the case that production of tracks always helps tremendously. But there is a small amount of room but I'm afraid it's not just DJing skills which will help you make it.
If you're trying to break into the DJ scene, keep trying and if you keep the faith and really believe in yourself you'll make it.
Q: Take us back to your first ever gig Eat The Pyramid Centre in Dalston, East London. What kind of beats were you playing back then? Do you get nostalgic for those early days?
My first real gig was at Milwaukee's in Rushden in Bedfordshire. I sent many tapes to the promoter Des and one Friday afternoon he rang me to play that evening. So I drove the long journey - so it seemed at the time Eand played after Carl Cox. I started playing happy piano / vocals as I tried to maintain all through my DJ life. Happy days! But I'm glad the scene has evolved to the way it has with all the great twists and turns we've had along the way.
The last 15 years of DJing and producing have been absolutely brilliant. I wouldn't change any of it.
Q: The days of massive, 10,000+ raves are all but gone now...what were the biggest and best parties you played at during the heyday of rave culture?
We've played at some mega parties. I've surely been very lucky. My biggest and one of my best memories was when me and Livelee played at Tribal Gathering in front of nearly 10,000 people, and it was broadcast live on Radio One. Also Dreamscape 23 outdoors, high up about 100 feet in the air in front of 12000 people.
Me and Livelee are still giving it some on the scene. The original hardcore heavyweights! Loads of new mega blasters on release from us over the next few weeks and months. Watch out for Asylum and Ravers' Choice. Me and Lee are looking forward to Tasty on Saturday and are really looking forward to Billy Bunter buying us our first ever drink!
Anyway keep rockin' and keep safe!
