SIDESTALKER - Rave Fire

For the Hardcore crew, the city of Milton Keynes over UK is known for the legendary venue of Sanctuary and the unforgettable raves. The city which has also raised a great producer who got involved that time with Criminal Minds releasing also his own stuff on the TCM Records/Labello Blanco in the age of 15, by the Autonomy moniker.

Sidestalker is the offspring of Autonomy and a step ahead of the Oldskool days, recreating Hardcore of 1990-1993 in conjuction with today's modern equipment and techniques.
It's been almost 4 years since his last offering, the astounding 'Monsters' digital EP, and our good friend of this Blog and the man behind these project, Breyt, comes back out of the blue one fine day of late May. Or even better, a rave fineday.
His new large project targets to release single tracks on every Friday, well dressed on a dark breakbeat tip.

'Rave Fire' is the first hit, setting up the flame for the rest of the album tracks of this project by Sidestalker. The plan is, every tune goes on free download (you can donate if you wish) and will be revealed every Friday on 8pm (UK time).

You can grab this first single on his bandcamp page above.

A tune which pays homage to the legendary venue of Milton Keynes from back in the day to the dark and mystic trip of 'Carpet Bagger'. The flipside spins pulsating hardcore all around and amazes the impact of this EP.

Closing with the last hit, 'Chillravebocdc2' which rewinds your memory to the first days of 1990, more dreamy this time and more techno-ish with heavy in-your-face breaks. The right tune to sum up this impeccable fresh release.

[THEREISLOVE003] DENHAM AUDIO - Caviar Cordial 12" Vinyl EP [Pre-Order]

A1 Cavial Cordial

A2 Free Your Soul

B1 Make U Move

B2 A Never Ending Dream Of Love

Sheffield's badboy trio Denham Audio keep on their prolific mission to deliver the next level of UK Rave vibes.

This time they're signed on There Is Love, sub-label of the eminent Lobster Theremin from UK and the new EP is entitled 'Caviar Cordial'. And to be fair, this record comes out just in time, to bring joy and euphoria these hard days we're living. This new EP breaths a proper rave oxygen, evokes the magic of Oldskool on a fusion of Breakbeat, House and Garage as well as closing with a masterpiece of a hallucinogenic trip that you haven't heard or been there for ages.


The party lesson clocks in at 130 bpm and it's a variable pack of tracks, starting from the catchy sexy vocs of the self-titled track on a Garage tip to the after hours club weapon, 'Free Your Soul' with an early Moby right feel to add, while on the flipside it tends to peak your energy to dance by the broken beats and groovy basslines of 'Make U Move'.

Last but not least the B2 is a good example of how this trio peddle innovative ideas, come what may. 'A Never Ending Dream Of Love' is probabaly the most captivating track of this release, as the boys walk into the odd Ambient path and maybe a precursory indication of their split with their Club Glow brother, Borai, on the soundtrack of the forthcoming film 'RAHEEM',which deals with the second summer of love. Definetely your ears will be pricked up from the very first seconds of the last track.

'Cavial Cordial' EP will be out on 19th June, however you may pre-order the Vinyl (1x12", colour printed centre stickers with white reverse board sleeve & white inner paper disco bag) and the digital version now.

Calling original Amnesia House ravers to speak for a new documentary release

Coventry. The UK City of Culture for 2021 as it has been called from now on, as won that title recently and there's been some good plans & activities to be announced during this Autumn.

A city, which has also brought out bands like The Specials, being active since the Acid House first steps and indisputably known for the ultimate Oldskool rave impact (e.g. Amnesia House).
A production team based in Coventry are now calling all original ravers from back in the day who lived directly the authenticity of these big raves. The aim?
There's a forthcoming documentary coming out soon paying homage to the Coventry rave angle, and the official calling above:

"Did you ever party at The Edge in Coventry or Amnesia House at Shelleys/Donington Park? Were you one of the 20000 ravers at the worlds 1st house wedding, Amnesia House - The Book of Love? If this was you, WE NEED YOU.

We are starting pre production later this year of Reflection#3 - "The Drugs Don't Work". This will involve several audio documentaries and films being produced. We need people to be interviewed on audio and film. Were you involved in any of these events and can you share your experiences of attending these venues/events? If you wish to be involved please contact us at reflectioncoventry@gmail.com or through one of our social media pages.
We look forward to hearing from you."

Definetely a concept that needs support and everyone's attention. Just for the record you can take a look at one of the Daylight Robbery Production films about the city which led the raves about 30 years ago. A film made with no financial backing as it it said.
