When I get all my vinyl digitalise I will have to make up a CD and give you a copy! Ah, the good old days!

The fact that it was on Radio One clearly means the music wasn't at all groundbreaking or new - but it FELT like it was to me at the time, and the secret, nocturnal world of clubbing was just really exciting. I don't remember there ever being any trouble or aggression, and even slowly walking back home through London at 6am on a Sunday morning with a big group of friends was actually a really nice part of it too. We must swap Essential Mix tapes one day, like it's still 1993...! Surely new remixes of old dance records are an improvement on dance covers of rock records? But tbh I have no idea what clubbing music is now. It doesn't really matter, because my music tastes are going backwards anyway - european (=pretty cheesy) 80s obscure dance stuff. Mmmm.
