The guys at Soundcrash are putting on an event not to be missed: The legendary Fabio and Bukem are laying down 5 hour Speed-era sets at the O2 Forum, Kentish Town.

Back in summer last year these two put on a Speed night at XOYO and it’ll live long in the memory of those who were in attendance.  To this day I get flashbacks of Bukem reloading FBD Project’s “Journeys” and taking it right back to the edge, as to play it in it’s full glory.

So, we got a pair of tickets to give away thanks to the Soundcrash crew.

What a night this was. I remember going, hoping someone would drop a few oldskool tunes. It wasn’t advertised at all as an oldskool night, so imagine the vibes when every single DJ raided the crates for the Speed classics.

Such a line up too, LTJ Bukem, Goldie, Fabio and Grooverider, and Tayla. It’s safe to say that without those names, D&B certainly wouldn’t be what it is today, or perhaps even exist at all.

As soon as I walked through the door I could hear Tayla playing Secret Liaison, it was obviously gonna be a great night.

Being so close to Christmas it was a good atmosphere inside and you can hear it on the recording, the crowd noise really comes through at times. No more so than on the Goldie set – I remember it well, it might have been about 3am and Goldie started with The Helicopter tune. I was too pissed to even realise what the chopper rotors sample signalled and was on my way to the bar. When it dropped the mission to the bar was quickly abandoned as I rushed back to the dancefloor. You can really hear the crowd when it drops, I get goosebumps as I reminisce on that.

Grooverider was a nice surprise too, as although it wasn’t exactly a speed style / Logical Progression set, he played some real tough 90s D&B to change the pace a little late on.

I have said numerous times on here that I was too young to hit the raves in the 90s, so I can probably say out of all the raves and club nights I have been to since  I started in 2001, this night probably had the most vibes, the best crowd, the best atmosphere.

It also reminds me what a loss it is for Good Looking and LTJ Bukem to no longer have MC Conrad as a part of the GLO stable. I’m not exactly sure what happened but word is they have fallen out and are not likely to reconcile. Part of the attraction of  seeing Bukem live was the fact Conrad was so unique and worked so well in combination with Bukem and the music. It appears that Good Looking may have owned the rights to the name “MC Conrad” so since the split Conrad goes by the name of Con*Natural. I hope they patch it up!

Anyway, I have looked all over the Internet and it appears that most of these sets are not available online (at the time of writing). Hit download to open it up on Media Fire.

The post Logical Progression 23rd December 2005 @ Fabric appeared first on Drumtrip - Hardcore / Oldskool Jungle Blog.

Anyone into acid house, oldskool hardcore, jungle or D&B will be already very familiar with the names Fabio and Grooverider.

Starting off as Acid House DJs in the late 80’s they helped pioneer jungle & drum and bass throughout the ninties with their Kiss FM show and then more famously their Radio 1 slot.

Times have changed and they now occupy the graveyard slot on Radio 1 on a Monday and may not seem as relevant as they once were.
But there is no doubting their influence on UK dance music, with Grooverider residing at club night Rage and launching the legendary Prototype Recordings, and Fabio pioneered the Liquid Funk sound with his label Creative Source.

This mix though dates back to 1992, Fabio and Groove doing what they do best; vintage selection with a fair few I haven’t heard!
