Spiral Tribe's return to the illegal rave scene in 2016 came with all kinds of crazy new Spiral Tribe Techno, Hard Breaks and D&B. This, so far 3 volume series of EP's is just one of many such nuskool psycho-tech... I have volume 2 and 3 somewhere, but it's on a disc merely labelled "Network 23 Reloaded Vols 2-3.... coming next with no tracklist, but it's such a banger you probably wont even notice or give a flying fork...
1. 69db - Grow it yourself 10:45 2. Crystal distortioN - Byterider 06:52 3. IxIndamix - Fizzy Boom 06:38 4. Crystal distortioN - Hoverboarded 08:50 5. 69db - Do it together 10:25 6. IxIndamix - Highways and holidays 06:26
Record Sleeve: *The bags were dragged from field to stage, the gear representing the modern age, a handful of snippets were committed to tape, and the speakers and punters all stood agape. Performers were gobsmacked as ravers alike, the hi viz clad piggies said 'go on, on yer bike', so off we all went to jam this again, and here's the results...( insert thing that rhymes here, we're out of ideas?)*
Mark Skelton (no relation to Les...so they claim haha!) a more technical DJ. I'm officially on a bittersweet Niche Nostalgia-fest...And it's led me to this gem of a tune I've been searching for at about 48:00 I only heard it 3 times in my life 1996-2000, whenever I asked it was "IGA feeling" or more informatively "White label" by "Unknown". I apologize for the sound quality in the others, this ain't bad & the Danny Walker mix sounds great .
Classic anthem by Bruno Sanchioni, ⅓ of B.B.E ("7 Days and 1 Week"... which you can very easily tell if you play the 2 back2back)& Giuseppe Chierchia, a guy better known for that much sampled disco tune (the one in "Getting Jiggy With it" and "Don't call me Baby"... Ring a bell? Don't ask how I know that ... just... don't ok? ???).
Classed as *"the first trance tune ever made",* which it pretty much is, from way back in 1990. It sounded great then; great in 1992 when Jam & Spoon 's "Watch out for Stella" remix updated for the millions of new ravers (which I included because many ravers aren't aware that's not the original version), it's been great all the times it's been remixed, whether the old skool or the new versions (the only thing out of sync is the description of THIS Particular "age".
More "the age that needs love".

1. Jam & Spoon Watch Out For Stella Mix

Berlin techno talent Regent is next up on Mutual Rytm as he returns with a compelling new five-track 12" titled 'Coral Knife', plus a digital bonus cut. Regent emerged only in 2020, but has fired out quality tunes on Planet Rhythm Records, Arts Collective and Warg Records since then. His already extensive catalogue of standout releases combines tough and rapid grooves wit the new forces emerging from the German capital and why his next EP, 'Coral Knife', sees him find a perfect home on SHDW's Mutual Rytm imprint.
This kid is on par with any veteran master of the sound, except with his very of own unique trademark and that distinct New groove sound.

Doh! Here's the Lisa Lashes Mix of Extreme Euphoria I posted the other week...Now for the record (pun intentionally accidental), I might have got the volumes of Extreme Euphoria mixed up, coz I got 2 different Lashes mixes to bloody upload ALL from 2003. Nevertheless, I've made sure he tracklist is stitched to the audio, with a clever app.
The BK mix is also forthcoming.
Maybe even before the Milky Way collides with Andromeda . :hyper_troll:
