FYI, I think Jolyon would kill me with some of his selections...

[blackwax]

no offence jolyon but dongers battle recently killed me hail.gif

[Jolyon]

I agree, Donger is a very good DJ from those battle tapes I heard.

There's no pay on the door, I'm afraid, mainly due to the questionable legality of the event. Ta.

[The Donger]

Ladyboy, Jolyon, my doggs! That party sounds fun, I wish I was in the uk with you guys :(

Album Review top

Balearic was born in the dance clubs of Ibeza, the Spanish city frequented by young British tourists ready to drink and dance. A cooler counterpart to acid house, the short-lived "brand" of dance received this compilation of tracks popular in certain Ibezan and London clubs for a summer or two in the late '80s. It would be hard to say what these ten tracks have in common, not being there to witness the mix in person. Side one is the most coherent, with a solid, house-y rhythm with sunny synths, an air of hedonism, scattershot media soundbites, faux-Arabian melodies, and pulsing horns. Even Stock, Aikman, and Waterman's moppet act Mandy Smith comes across well, with a slinky remix of "Mandy's Theme (Just Can't Wait)." Side two falls apart, however, with a live version of "Why Why Why" by the Woodentops (appropriate title, though), the more inappropriate and industrial Nitzer Ebb, and the indie-group-slumming-at-disco, Thrashing Doves. Only a wild remix of the Residents ("Kaw-Liga") keeps the groove moving. ~ Ted Mills, All Music Guide

Spectrum was a club on a monday night and I know nobody likes the style of music he plays but it was co-promoted by Paul Oakenfold,held in the biggest gay club in London called Heaven.

It was mainly straight white kids who attended it every Monday. The queues were massive and it always had over 2000 people in it.

Only four of the tracks are on that LP (there are two mixes I did)...and I played them off the original 12" - don't have that album.
