I live in a fairly rural place, our neighbours are pensioners etc. Last night I got up for a piss at about 3am, and I could hear a very faint, very fast bassline. talking 180bpm fast. You never hear music here other than maybe the pub has a karaoke night on, but they're shut by 11. I was so confused, it sounded familiar - Definitely happy hardcore at that BPM with the naff key changes. It's a guilty pleasure of mine, it's got a bad image but I just absolutely love it, I listened to it as a kid on begged/borrowed tapes, just takes me back to better times. I opened the window to see if I could hear where it was coming from - it sounded so familiar, I was worried that the stereo had turned on in my van on the drive or something, I was doing my head in! But nope, it was very distant, and just an occasional hint at a vocal on the wind. Not sure if I'm ashamed or proud, but I even recognised the mix being played as it's one of my favourites. So yeah, there was someone playing Force & Styles at Helter Skelter 1997 at 3:30am in the middle of nowhere, I can only presume in a car parked up somewhere. It was about -2 so probably a bit cold for any impromptu raves in some field or something. I hear you barking dog. I was at that gig, can still remember the terror of driving all the way to Milton Keynes in my brothers Astra (pre sat nav). I think we'd done Hardcore Heaven the previous year. By coincidence I was sorting out my shed at the weekend, and found an old bookcase to house all my vinyl, which I started collecting when I started DJing in the mid 90s. I have loads of mid-late 90s hardcore and techno tunez (sic), as well as house and later breakbeat. I still have my much prized Technics 1200s (purchased new from the factory) and a shit mixer I've had for donkey's years. Might let my kids have a go at mixing. cobblers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andyrew Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Took a mate out last night, i introduced him to someone, cash started flowing and in the moment of lust he bought back a guest to my place. That feeling of your mate having had a one night stand, hes left and you wake up to find they are still there. privatewire, Popsicle, louiepj and 5 others 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Guru Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Not a laughing matter ,I know , but this did make me laugh. Tescos has launched an action against Period Poverty where any woman needing the necessary items, just has to ask for “the white envelope” at the information desk. (I thought we were supposed to encourage openness on such things but this is terribly coy). Only trouble , they announced it nationwide despite just being a pilot in a few stores , and didn’t inform staff very well. Cue, women asking for “the white envelope” , being told to try the Post Office! Remspoor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
