... where's crime?
Lurking, ironically listening to a dave clarke mix from '95 thinking that you kids have no idea how exciting 92-97 really was...

I guess the real tools were the people who took wonky to be a genre and went out to make identikit trax in the same way that all the 2nd rate loop techno people went and did bad copies of Purposemaker records..

I really look back fondly at the times of hearing mitch dropping bombs on the Virus rig (circa 1993, brewery road, caledonian road, Evesham) and having no idea of what this music was apart from knoing that it was some kind of techno that sounded different to my ears compared to what the majority of DJs were playing at that time.. And I might add hearing similar sounds coming from Jiba around the same time, most probably with jerome at the helm, we hadn't met at this point, I hadn't even started playing but it was a magic time..
