1990 really was the year i started revising hard about House & Techno after deciding i would never make it as a hip hop Dj. Some of the 1st house i would encounter would be productions from the US. Detroit Techno at the time seemed quite abstract, Chicago house although home of acid was just too vocal for me, but the sound of new york grabbed me (maybe something to do with the sound emerging coming from the debris of hip hop, freestyle electro & breakbeat culture).
That 1st wave would hijack a lot of those existing references.
Frankie Bones, Tommy Musto & Lenny Dee would be my guide & the sounds they produced were like an amplified echo of those beats but with added energy. Include a bunch of whacked out edits so you had no clue what was what & for me that was my nirvana..........This mix is a taste of those 1st house records that had me obsessing.........If your expecting "Hardcore" youll find none here......but this WAS "My First Hardcore"..... & those "Amen Breakbeat" samples in THESE tunes would influence UK Rave....and create UK Hardcore......then Jungle....Then Drum & Bass.........EVERYTHING comes from somewhere...Enjoy xxx
