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".

As the title says a bittersweet moment for the DnB legends....2 more who didn't sellout to my knowledge. That said they went through a phase where Grooverider was alone, & they'd do 1 week apiece after a while. In that time i came to realise GR was a better presenter, played way better tunes, and didn't play 20 seconds of a track (as Fabio did with Bad Company "Bullet Tide" much to my chagrin...so I dub GR the Batman to Fab's Robin...or Alfred...Jk). Sounds like they had a great sendoff and ive been checking out their Rinse FM shows, where they shine brighter for losing the BBC's g Hex.
My "secretary" (Sister-in-law-sort-of and total bimbo) sometimes sends me tunes that flew past my radar, mostly girly, but always cool (or acceptable cheese at worst).
So this was her selection (and some of the Niche mixes) also filled in for me one day last week, and left several windows of "Upload Stopped" ( you have to stay online until they've finished uploading...I believe Odysee leave a clue illuminating this factor after you hit "Upload").
Gotta say I like this kind of music it takes a lot of cues, stabs pianos from rave it's smilar to old Euro NRG, but a lot faster.
Thanks Beth there may be a permanent voluntary position for you (oh yeaah to clarify "Bounce" isnt referring to DJ Hannah's...ahem..."movement"? ?)
Frantic was one of those mental nights where waters more valuable than 1575 Pinot, and a skool-mash of old and nu ravers from clubs luke Garecrasher & God's Kitchen, united by the harder house & trance of Tidy & Nukleuz, and the sounds of Lashes, Savage, Fergie, Andy Farley.
This made for a comical fashion clash scenario due to crowds of the Post Millenium era from every compass point: A hilarious mix of Gen-Y Cyber Kids dressed like time travellers from the future, & Gen-X Clubheadz dressed like Mid-90's Time-Loopers (STILL with the Ben Sherman & Ralph Lauren shirts, Burton's jeans and Ted Baker shoes ???.
