Dug out this poster – it’s seen better days – but it is close to 21 years old so it’s had a good innings. It’s for an event at the Merry Go Round pub in Bury St Edmunds way back in 1989. Poster designed by Devine. The night featured DJ Underground, MC Epode (RIP) & Scott The Human Beat Box. Anyone got a photos of pieces by Devine? Think he came from the Stowmarket area.

I’ve been working my way through ID’ing the tunes on this set but only managed to nail half of them. It’s mostly progressive house from 1993, so a long way from the standard Easygroove repertoire! Any additional help on solving the missing ID’s would be greatly appeciated. You can download the complete set from Rapidshare or listen to short samples of the remaining unkowns on the tuneID.com page. Here is what has been ID’d so far :

00:00 – Lost Tribe – Musika (Bivouac Mix)
03:28 – Franschene – Can You …

Just a quick post to mention that I’ll be adding video/mp3 clips to many of the old skool hardcore entries in discogs over the next few weeks. I spent some time trying to nail the quickest and easiest way to create individual vids for each track – and succeeded. With the addition of youtube’s bulk upload facility, it shouldn’t take long to get quite a few online and tagged on to the appropriate discogs entry. I did a trial run on 2 releases last night :
2 Men & A Man …

It’s time for a bit of a vinyl clearout at iamdek central, so for the next few days you’ll find a whole bunch of classic tunes up for grabs on Ebay. You’ll mostly find Easygroove classics from 91 to 93 plus a few ragga jungle tunes I had sitting near my desk.

Below are the current 10 most popular :

Mega City 2 – Demons By Daylight EP (VERY DARK 1) 1992
Krome & Time – This Sound Is For The Underground TUNE!!
Liquid Crystal – Chromatic II (Ruff On Wax – ROWTR-1)
Haute Control …

You’ll see this tune on various tracklists for Easygroove sets during 1993 (Dreamsacpe 7, Helter Skelter, etc) but you won’t find the tune in discogs or any online shop. It’s often mis-spelled as ‘Costae’ and also referred to as ‘S.A.D. Productions Vol. 1′ making it even more confusing. It’s actually by MC DJ Ribbs, Dave Tidy & DJ Dren. If anyone wants to sell me a copy, feel free to get in touch
