Had already made a mental note of that, Good Sir. Was planning to put your name up next.
Was out all day in oppressive mid-30s heat and humidity at my son’s summer festival at his school, so have no idea what I have missed in this thread today.
Smashing a few umeboshi sour drinks now and hope someone will spin some songs soon. I think HAP and Swoods have been nominated.
We just discussed this a few weeks ago (I think) & you have just spun it, as promised. Loved the original and of course, love this remix as well. Super fat. Lucky I am not munching on real umeboshi right now, otherwise I would be choking on them with joy. Yes.
I am an absolute sucker for them, as I loved most of the originals, so whenever I found one crate-digging, it was an easy buy. Agreed, though, that crowds were often ambivalent about them, especially in clubs, unless there were a few punters who grew up loving rock such as myself.
Pop was safer. I have a few U2 dance remixes that went OK. But, that’s a story for another time…
It was towards the end of my clubbing days. I was at an event in Tokyo - when this awesome DJ started spinning dance music remixes of classic rock and punk songs. The punters (including myself) went nuts. I hung around afterwards and caught up with the DJ. He passed me a few samples of his work (which I must dig up now). I may even have a few recordings of his live sets somewhere. I went to a few more of his events and he really started creating a massive storm in the scene at the time. I wonder how he ended up. Anyway, he went by the handle:
DJ Duck Rock.
I’d completely forgotten about him until this remix. Cheers.
Random question that I’ve asked before but you guys might know.
Does anyone know where I can hear the music they played at London’s millennial celebrations?
Might have had Bowie in it, definitely had Sex Pistols.
