Merry Xmas

Merry xmas all who visited here. More tracklistings and tapes to come in the new year.

Tracklisting for 6th August to 10th September 1992

Largely a selection of techno on this one, a few unknowns yet to be identified as usual, but some classics from Car & Driver and Model 500 in there, yet more from Spinach and some great experimental stuff as usual from Terrace.

Tracklisting for 23rd July to 6th August 1992

There's definitely more than a hint of the melodic or more 'intelligent' techno on this session with some real classics from Redcell, Reload, Underground Resistance, Jim Clarke, Mid-Ex and Krispy Krouton, it seems it was quite a good summer for techno. The last track on Side One is also a track i've loved for a very long time, way ahead of its time and, again, very much of the 'intelligent' vibe, if anyone knows what that is then let me know.

Thanks to spa5tik0lonz for identifying track 2 on side 1!

Tracklisting for 23rd June to 2nd July 1992

This is another session containing a mixture of acid house, techno and hardcore. Some of the better tracks to look out for are (in my opinion) the more intelligent techno in this lot, like P.I.P. "Energize", R.E.C "Twisted Topics" and DJ Dusk's "Chique". Also the classic first release on Kudos Records by the unknown artists calling themselves Industry Standard (still wondering who this might be all these years later), a really hard sound, still sounds amazing. Not forgetting classic Model 500 track "Night Drive" on here as well. (and thanks to spa5tik0lonz for ID'ing the 2nd track on Side 1)

Tracklisting for 4th June 1992 to 23rd June 1992

In this session there are some real gems, not only some classic techno (including the extraordinary and influential track "Catastrophe" by Instinct, with its twisted acid bassline and mind-boggling sounds, it sounded so futuristic and was so ahead of its time) but some even more classic acid house from artists like The Creator and Baby Ford due to Steve Jackson standing in for Colin Dale one night. Side one is filled with gorgeous techno, including tracks by Jessie Deep and Jay Endz In Paradize. This is a great session indeed.

Mostly techno on this one, a nice mix of the harder stuff and more 'intelligent' stuff. Some great leftfield tracks from Aphex, Spinach, Mark Broom, the man Ubik who could never do wrong and the gorgeous Source EP from R&S.

There's some great techno on this session mixed in with some piano hardcore stuff, some tracks I can't identify as usual (so any help gratefully received). Stuff on here includes a slammin' techno track by Humanoids From The Deep, a strange but good remix of Stakker Humanoid, some classic weird Djax leftfield stuff and ending with one of the true classic detroit techno tracks...

Tracklisting for February 10th 1992 to March 16th 1992

Lots of gaps in the info on this one, if anyone has any ideas at all on the names / artists or labels of the gaps I'd be very grateful. Some great techno on this one, some nice Sven Van Hees related stuff, a classic leftfield techno track by Terrace and the almighty releases by Greyhouse and Major Malfunction (check the Dune samples) make this a well good one.

Tracklisting for October 21st 1991 to November 12th 1991

Some great tracks on this one, including the epic "Digeridoo" by Aphex Twin which was sent into Colin Faver's show by RDJ as a demo for his "Demo DAT Pressure" section. Soon after this Colin's Rabbit City Records label helped push that track out further than its minimal original release on Mighty Force Records had managed. Still trying to work out which F.U.S.E. track is on Side 2 on this tape, I recognise it but can't pin it down but it definitely sounds like Hawtin, might be under his Circuit Breaker alias possibly. First track is an interesting ragga hardcore tune which I can't identify yet either.

Note : worked out which Hawtin track it was now, yes it's a Circuit Breaker track.

Note 2 : Thanks to the man .gas for naming the first track on Side One

Note 3 : Thanks to Spa5tik0lonz for naming the Crowd Control track on Side Two (actually by Jack Smooth)

Somehow managed to tape DMS "Exterminate" twice on this session. Good session this with some heavy basslines here and there and possibly the best mix of Moby's "Go". Also a mental remix by the Hypnotist, not sure what release it is though.

Small update

Just making a small post to inform that tracklistings are on their way, starting this weekend with the earliest tapes and going from there....

More to come

Tracklistings are still to come for all of these files plus I have a few contacts with many more tapes so this blog shouldn't stop here but for now this is all I have.

The Mastermixes

The mastermixes were a regular part of every show, normally about 15 minutes long or so, both Colins would do these on a regular basis. Here are some of those.

Colin Dale Mastermix #1

Colin Dale Mastermix #2

Colin Dale Mastermix #3

Colin Dale Mastermix #4

Colin Faver Mastermix #1

The Outer Limits Shows

Colin Dale also had another section to his regular Monday night shows (later becoming Thursday night shows) called the Outer Limits where a lot more leftfield and experimental music was played. Here are some of those.

Kiss FM 1991

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?gdiedzz3tnn

That's it for now, more to come shortly including all the 1992 tapes and other miscellaneous stuff...

Dedicated to the olden days of Kiss FM

In the very early nineteen-nineties there existed a radio station instrumental in helping a lot of young people discover a growing underground music scene that few others in the mainstream or media were even vaguely aware of. Kiss FM started out as a pirate radio station and gained its official status as a legal station in 1990. Its focus was solely on nothing but Dance Music and it was the first legal radio station to broadcast such music to the general populace. Although primarily a London radio station, those of us living in other areas of the South of England could still receive it and it became something of a cult, a word-of-mouth process spreading its underground status amongst kids.

Two of the DJs working at the station would become renowned amongst teenagers of the early 90s for bringing forth some of the most pioneering, experimental, hardest or underground techno and hardcore music around at that time. Those two DJs were Colin Dale and Colin Faver. The two Colins covered slightly different areas of techno and hardcore at the time but with a good amount of overlap between them. Colin Dale would originally broadcast for three hours on a Monday night, the first two hours being the Abstract Dance show and the last hour comprising the Outer Limits show where he would play a lot more of the leftfield and experimental music.

As a teenager I taped nearly every show that these two broadcast on Kiss. Both DJs introduced me to artists who are great influences on my own music, for example Colin Dale always playing out latest releases by B12, Black Dog, Luke Slater & Alan Sage, Juan Atkins, Leo Anibaldi, Terrace, Evolution Records and Underground Resistance and Colin Faver playing for example Lory D, Mescalinum United and a lot of European techno and hardcore. I first heard of Aphex Twin (or Caustic Window) on Colin Dale's show and one of the cassettes contained below contains the first broadcast on radio of Aphex Twin's "Digeridoo" track.

I taped every broadcast by the two DJs but obviously would have run out of cassettes pretty quickly and I didn't have many to record with back then, so I would make compilation tapes of the best tracks i'd heard during each show. So you will find that each download covers a certain period of time, picking select tracks from those periods. These are exactly as I created them as a teenager, no alterations made.

If anyone has any full length un-cut shows that could be added to the archive then please get in touch. There are also a few odds and ends in there: there is one complete show from about 1991, an interview Colin Dale did with Keith Le Blanc which I found lying around and a selection of Kiss master mixes from both Colins.

The quality is not amazing on these but good enough for a listen. I'm surprised the tapes were still working to be honest, also sometime around 1992 some **** decided to place a national radio station (Classic FM) on almost the exact same frequency as Kiss making it a lot harder to receive Kiss's signal down where we were in the south so some of the 1992 recordings are slightly worse quality.

Enjoy this trip.
