Remembering the time when we first discovered we could listen to records using a plastic £5 note

We’ve sold out for our party with Altern 8 in March. There’s a waiting list over at Skiddle! www.skiddle.com/whats-on/Hud...

Just rebuilt the @balearica.bsky.social music player. Apologies for all the triple posting if you follow.

It’s played this about 3 times today 🤷🏼‍♂️

@balearica.bsky.social player has decided to stick in a loop of the same 12 tracks and play them twice. Just set it off in a different direction this morning.

I'll be surprised if Frequency 7 doesn't turn up.

July 2003. Trying to locate the originals in amongst the hoarding. @francoisknyc.bsky.social I recall you burning CDs on the fly with some edits and a Yamaha unit — I think. Can you recall your set up?

Proper 10 past 9 record.

🚀

Just checked what @balearica.bsky.social has played so far today. Brilliant selections — the algos are working. It no longer falls asleep — though it does have fun with its own faves and irrelevant biographies. Win?

If this came out today as Confidence Man — it would make the top 10 in the charts without a doubt. youtu.be/VNf89IkfIzM?...

What we all saying about records like these? That moment we started to pivot out of Italo Piano Screamers? youtu.be/A4phn9bFbuA?...

Here we go again. Love this record.

This is a brilliant mix.

Continuing with the reminiscing. I saw that @dreamchimney.bsky.social had liked one of the tracks on @balearica.bsky.social — we were big fans from 2000 onwards. We’d get a lot of props with our Cosmic Disco blog back then — though they were the OGs. Ace to see them here. Make sure you follow.

Taking of Sankeys Soap — I’ve found loads of old film photos from 20 + years ago. Some briliaint photos of @francoisknyc.bsky.social and many others. I recall that night fondly as I went home and totally reevaluated DJing. I recall Francois making the Phazon sound like no other DJ had before.

This was a Sankeys Soap Bar early doors cover up. I’d always get asked to what this was back then.

Here's where Balearica player gets banned. * the player should now look for new music despite it's love for Ramp - Rock the Discotek * Bios remain a gamble for now
