The Frankie Friday Music Thread.....RIP 07:01 - Apr 4 with 2518766 viewsLblock

Here I am starting this from my recovery bed and no clue how to link tunes on an iPhone!

Will stick on my offerings from a PC later unless the other knuckles thread is the preference to use?

House classics and dancey dazzlers only, no hijacking from suicide rock please!

In the beginning there was jack.......


Been meaning to update for years.
Can only be one.......

The two records I loved and could see were a thing before I ever knew what Acid House was



Remember this on the boat 34 years ago almost today England v Holland with EmellRs - Harwich to the Hook....



This was one of the first for me….



Having been into Electro & Hip Hop I caught the wave of acid slightly later than I should’ve done really. Still loved the fact it was underground and got sneered at by almost everyone. Loved the rawness and energy of it….. they asked Can You Feel It?…. I could and it felt great

I love the fact Oochie koochie was made from samples of Colin Favers Kiss fm radio show.

Prog. The drop between 7 mins 40 secs to 8 mins 15.... Could you imagine your average modern pop EDM audience waiting for the payoff at 8:15? I don't think so.

No pinky and perky bongos Steve!

Classic British Progressive house from 1997. A good time to be alive.

Mate me too, I couldn't condone house or acid house, my last 12'' maybe late 87 was Starsky and Hutch, then as well as Oochy Koochy, i think it was these 3 lol or 303 and then well we allknow the score lol

Oh yes…. Yes indeed.

Hitting the Balearics in 1988 as a wide eyed 17 year old and seeking out the dance clubs due to my soul boy / ska head tastes took me to a new world. Vaguely aware of this new phenomenon via friends and the wonderful building industry of the time but I walked into Alexandra’s Nightclub that first night and it took my breath away.
The raw 303 sound and pumping beats caught me like a lasso and it’s never let me go.
Royal House was the anthem that holiday and the rest is history…. Who’s in the House? I said who’s in the house?

Thirty four bleedin years ago!!!

Stay as cool as you can people

Not sure if fellow Frankies have been following the story on the news of the UK journalist missing in the Amazon, Dom Phillips...or if you have, realised it was the same Dom who edited Mixmag throughout the 90s.

Sadly, his passing has been confirmed today. Murdered doing his job, while trying to give a voice to Brazil's indigenous tribes, and reveal the scale of the damaging and illegal activities of ruthless criminal gangs in the region.

I worked with Dom for many years, and you couldn't meet a lovelier bloke.

My favourite Mixmag cover strapline of his was on the 1996 review of the year issue - a great picture of Underworld's Karl Hyde, with the words:

"1996. everything went nuclear."

Shine on Dom - this one's for you.

This is sad news. RIP Dom Philips.
Goes without saying really how influential mixmag was back in pre Internet days. Between Mixmag and DJmag they were of a few credible sources of club and rave culture and music. I've still got loads of the free CDs that mixmag generously supplied.
Thoughts are with his family and friends, and to you Nick. X

He also published a brilliant book, Superstar DJs, which if you haven’t read, I really recommend it.

RIP Dom

Not sure where 'out west' you are, but he started off as Mixmag's Bristol & west country correspondent

Agreed re the book!

Yes, I saw your post on FB Nick and realised it was the same one as had been on the news. I was really sorry to hear that awful news.

Rip Dom. Mixmag was my bible between 1995 and 1999. I even bought the black and white pamphlet 'Mixmag update' which came out on the Wednesday.

'Pezz' Prog house reviews of 3 beat records, was my favourite article in mixmag.

Always remember the 'Lost in bass' cover with the Cosmonaut space walking.

I didn’t know that and thanks for sharing.

Tragic situation and I did see something that this could be an ordered hit as he was upsetting some influential people / gangsters in the area of logging and destruction of “the worlds lungs”.

As people have already said copies of Mixmag and DJ were must reads back then and always gave you an urge to visit other clubs in other towns and cities. I was a magazine geek back then and used to buy them regularly along with The Face and then onto GQ, FHM and Loaded.

Mixmag was the business on music with DJ mag a very close second

RIP Mr Phillips and condolences to his friends and family

This is a good interview with Dom courtesy of Progressive House Classics on FB.
Dom coined the term " Progressive" .
