I
discovered
house
music
about
1986
coulda
even
a
little
bit
before
that.
I
was
about
15
and
it
was
a
combination
of
my
friends
at
school
getting
into
compilations
stuff
like…
the
FFRR
London
record
series
the
House
sound of
Chicago
and
Stu
Allan
who
used
to
play
House
music
on
the
sold-out
show
initially
and
then
it
was
partly
through
being
into
Electro
a few
years
before
it
was
kind
of
a
continuation
of
what
the
latest
electronic
music
was.
So
we’re
all
kind
of
wanting
to
be
B-Boys
and
wanting to
break
dance
when
we were
into
Electro
and
then
that was
starting
to
fizzle
a
little
bit
but then
House
music
came
along
and
just
felt
like
the
freshest
most
exciting
thing
in
the
world
when
that
happened.
I
was
going
to
terrible
clubs
like
Rainbows
in
Oldham
and
Shades
in
Stalybridge.
I
bumped
into
someone
in
the
street
called
Kelvin
and
he
asked
me…
I
mean
literally
just
a
random
stranger
you
come
up
to
me
because
he
liked
my
jumper.
He asked
me
what
kind
of
music
I
was
into
I said
I was
into
House
music
and
we
got
chatting
and
yeah
assumed
that
I
was
going
to
good
clubs
because
of
how
into
music
I
was
and
how
enthusastic
I
…
was
and
I
was
really
surprised
to
find
that
I
didn’t
go
to
the
Blackburn
raves
or
the
Hacienda
and
he
said
to
me
come
with
me,
to
the
Blackburn
raves
the
Hacienda
and
…
a
club
called
the
Park
Hall
in
Chorley
And I…
he
gave
me
his
number
and
I
went
and
met
him
that
weekend
and
went
to
all
3
of
them
And it changed
my
life
beyond
anything
I
could
ever
imagine
and
I
pretty
much
never
missed
another
night
again
if
I
get
out
way.
My
most
memorable
moment
at…
at
the
Blackburn
raves…
there’s
so
many
I
mean
every
party
either
felt
like
the
most
amazing
thing
you’ve
ever
seen
in
your
life
but
to
try
and
think
of
a
memorable
moment.
I
mean
really
the
probably
the
one
of
the
most
incredible
moment
of
my
life
was
meeting
Jonathan
Donaghey.
Who
I
…
formed
together
with
and
I
remember…
…
remember
crystal
clear
the
moment.
I
met
him.
I
also…
…
…
What…
what
was
the
party
called?
Ewood
Mill
and
just
being
most
excitable
person
in
the
world
and
it
was
quite
a
good
match
of
personalities
really.
…
…
…
…
I
did
my
silly
noise
to
him.
What
was
really
just
an
impression
of
Max
Headroom
a
computer-generated
character
of
the
TV
at
the
time
and
it
excited
him
alot
and
he
just
grabbed
me
and
took
me
round
to…
to
random
people
to
do
my
noise
to
them,
which
I
didn’t
mind
doing
age
17
18,
really
excitable
little
kid
I
was.
I
remember
listening
to
music
and
there
was
Wild
Times
by
Delite…
Derrick
Derrick
Mayes
mix
and
just
hearing
the
bass
pulsing
up
and
down
the
warehouse
…
was
just
unbelievable.
It
was
just
like
because
these
warehouses
…
were
massive
and
they
sounded
echo
up
and
down
the
space
and
it
was
just
incredible
and
I
remember
they…
I think
this
was
unique
to
us
Northerner’s
…
when
the
theme
would
come
on
by
…
Unique 3
…
and
I’ve
told
the
guy
from
Unique 3
this
since…
I’m
not
sure
if
he
thought
I was
a
bit
of
a
weirdo
Edzy
I
mean
what
a
tune
and
just
what
it
started
off…
the
that
….
Everybody
had
to
put
bleeps
and
bass..
sub
basses
in
the
tunes
after
that
and
hadda
massive
…
effect
on us…
People
would
sing
the
bass
line
do-do-do-do
do-do-do-do-do
and
then,
you
know,
…
imagine
these
parties
grew
to
10000
people.
There’s
10000
of
us
humming
…
this
baseline
and
it’d
…
build
and
build
and
build…
you’d
get
louder
and
we’d
sing
it
over
everything
didn’t
we?
…
Didn’t
have
to
be
just
when
the
theme
come
on…
although
if
that
come
on…
…
guaranteed
we’d
be
singing
it,
but
we
just
…
carried
on
singing
it
over
all
the
other
tunes
it
just
fit
over
everything.
And it
sounded
brilliant.
I remember
that
as a
brilliant
moment.
The
regular
thing
that
happened
in
Blackburn.
…
Downsides
at
Blackburn.
Yeah.
Yeah,
obviously
the
riots.
They
were…
they
were
a
bit
s***
appreciate
people
got
upset
that
the
police
were
trying
to
stop
the
party,
but
that…
they
weren’t
they
weren’t
much
fun.
Blackburn
partly
inspired
by
Blackburn
got…
got
into
making
music
and
after
being
in
the
music
industry
joined
the
video
game
industry
and
worked
in
that till
last
year.
Was in
it
for
23
years?
24
years.
I
was
audio
…
manager
for
Warner
Brothers
until
last
year
then…
left
that
to
move
to
London
where
I’ve
carried on
making
music
and
got
into
teaching
music
technology
at
the
Brit
School.
If
someone
was
researching
Blackburn
Raves
100
years
time.
Advice
i’d
give
them.
They
were
the
most
incredible
events
you
could
ever
imagine…
you
knew
that
you’re
in
the
middle
of
something
that
was
different…
something
massive…
something
was
bubbling.
Something
was
changing.
You
….
….
literally…
felt
like
the
world
was
changing
and
it…
did.
You
know,
we
didn’t
really
appreciate
the
extent
of
it.
Yeah.
It
was
rebellious
and
brilliant
but
exciting
new.
Really
really
exciting
something
special
happened
then
and
it’s
kind
of
had
a
massive
effect
on
the
world
and I can
still
feel
it
now
and
people
are
still
talking
about
it
now
and
you
know
things
were
never
quite
the
same
again.
