I kinda stumbled upon Nu-rave.com. I moved back from living in Newquay for 5yrs and got some decks again, I was record shopping in my favourite record shop Standout (rip) buying second hand oldskool when I came across Tornado records vol 1. took it home put it on the 1210 and thought OMG this is good.
I found nu-rave. So after that I was hooked on buying everything nu-rave I could get from Junki Munki records to Repeat Offender records. I then found Choons.net and started uploading mixes, I met Nicky Allen in the forums and after chatting to him for about a year he suggested nu-rave.com in early 2009. So I went to the site. signed up to the forum and met so many like minded people.
After a while I got to know Kidson and he offered me a 1 hour slot on the radio, I jumped at the chance. then off the back of that Kidson offered me a regular slot. So in November 2009 'The Random Rave Show' was born and thankfully still going strong today.
- Tell us few info about your radioshow at the moment, and what new listeners should expect to hear on that.
The show has really grown over the years, It went from being just me until I met Geezah who has the same style of mixing and the same tastes in music, to joining forces and turning Saturday evenings into a 4 hour Random Rave Show. I think the name of the show speaks for itself. We have no boundaries on genre's, BPM, Oldskool or nuskool we just love the music, enjoy playing and hope this comes across in our shows.
- Let's move to the big chapter "Rave Stylee" now.. Give us an introduction and few words about the history, the releases and bring us the spirit of this label
It was Kidson who started Rave Style'e and he signed all the artists up until RSE008, but due to commitments he had with other ventures he asked if I would like to manage the label, of course I said HELL YEAH! so we relaunched and released the full back cat. then he decided to move away from the label and asked if I wanted it.
Of course my answer was yes. And I love it. I think its my chance to give something back to the scene. If i could sum up the label in one word it would be "UPLIFTING"
- Forthcoming plans and releases on Rave Stylee?
I think the future of the label will hopefully branch into some faster breaks maybe some 95 160+ tracks but keeping with the uplifting piano and stabs kinda tunes. but who knows, as long as the musics good we'll put it out for the people. We have some really strong EP's coming this year, last month Pursuit dropped with the 'Shaken not stirred EP' of which I Love. we have DJ Pink Champagne coming this month with the 'Love is a Drug EP'.
Stoked about that 1 and I'm really excited about our new Find JRS and his track
'Missed you 92'.
