Northern Wish Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Thanks for this. I count no less than 10 events posted within the archives that "I was at".My bro got this link this am from me and freaked. He brought me along to a few, but he was a hardcore and was present for lots of these sets.X-ellent post! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberHippie Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Cool there's tons of stuff to listen to there. Sadly this was a whole scene I missed out on.Anything particularly tastey you would recommend? I'm looking at the "HOUSE / TECHNO / BREAKS/ TRANCE" page but it's all greek to me.

killatokes Posted March 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Anything particularly tastey you would recommend? I'm looking at the "HOUSE / TECHNO / BREAKS/ TRANCE" page but it's all greek to me.tbh, i spent a majority of my time at these parties in the jungle rooms so my house techno recommendations may not be as reliable as others, but all these seems to be streaming so it's pretty easy to click through and find something you like. having said that; i recall seeing dj dan and vitamin d a few times and enjoying it quite a bit. outside of that site (since i don't see any of his mixes BOO!)i would say searching out live mark farina mixes is WELL worth the effort. he played a Valentines show (Bittersweet maybe?) in TO ('99,2000?) that was amazing! STRONG flashback's of him mixing in both fleetwood mac and paul simon (graceland) in his set! three levels of dancefloors with balconies overlooking the main floor, a good crew of friends in attendance,VERY booty shaking stuff that unfortunately i've never found a recording of.

Tungsten Gruvsten Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 pretty sweet - I dug out a bunch of my old flyers at home to see what was in there....spent some tiem 95-98 going to crazy warehouse parties before they all went into clubs....not quite enough stories to fill a book but jeebus had some adventures!Friend of a friend ran Transendance, went to pretty well all of their events as well as lots of Alien Invasion (Destiny etc was too 'clubby' for me at the time...)Highlights LIVE PA stuff killed back then - I remember guys like Sunkissed or Mark Broom that had the whole slew of gear on a table - SH101, TB303, TR909, TR606, TR808 etc...turned me into a gearhead right quick! Seeing Autechre live... just, wow. Big party at the Ukranian Embassy in Chinatown...lotsa throwdowns from Derrick Carter, Terry Mullan, Carl Cox, Cari Lekebush etc etc...So many fuzzy, fuzzy memories...

Northern Wish Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Eric as you might imagine, my bro and little Luke went ballistic when I sent them this link.This would be like discovering www.archive.org/music if there was nothing else like it out there and you were into that kind of stuff!

zero Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 I got into Jungle hard but a couple years after I got into Phish ('94 -which happened to be an epic year for Phish and Toronto jungle).I got to see all the greats Dr. No, Nicky Blackmarket, Kenny Ken and the greatest DJ Mickey Finn and 'ohmygollygolly gosh' MC GQ. I wasn't into this one particular mixtape we had of Finn and GQ though coming back from the last Gamehenge at Great Woods at breakneck speeds over narrow bridges in a Lincoln town car. I'm like coming down off acid and they've got they've got the whole car cranking with what I called at the time 'machine gun music'. 'Hey com'inon hey com'inon come bad boy Mickey Finn and he's coming on strong. Wicked Mickey Finn!'. Now I know that tape to death and it's one of my favourites but I remember when I totally hated it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killatokes Posted March 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 (edited) 'Hey com'inon hey com'inon come bad boy Mickey Finn and he's coming on strong. Wicked Mickey Finn!'. bwahaha! i believe i'm familiar with that mix! machine gun music is a pretty apt description too. i was never too much of a fan of MC's (too many "who wants a re-wind"s for me) but i was very stoked to find the Roni Size vs Brian Gee at Utopia mix on there! EPIC night of jungle, there were like 3! MCs (warren g, GQ? and debo general?)going hard with some highlarious junglisms! and i believe only 1! rewind the whole set. "this one's going out to the hard lane massive for all who can handle tha pace!all others the soft shouldah's over there...PULL OVAH!" "i'm a gonna make you hot....i'm a gonna make you wet ....WAIT!" and the ever popular: "WHO'S GOT A LIGHTA?!!!"......oh...my.....gosh! hawhawhaw LOVE IT!

canadianphan Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Ah, the days of my youth. I was a hardcore jungalist 94-96. Hooked up with Alx Clive and worked ad the lighting designer on his Chemistry Raves. Remember 318 Richmond St? NYE 96 with the simulcast from London... Good times. Still love me some breakbeat.
