I was hit with a huge wave of nostalgia recently, after hearing the first track of a Butane mix posted on mnmlssgs. The sound of a ticking clock transported me back 17 years to a bedroom in South London, taping Coldcut’s Solid Steel show off Kiss FM, back before they and their label Ninja Tune became a by-word for shit trip-hop for stoned home counties students. With this as my motivation I dug out and digitised this show, guest presented by Dave Cawley of Fat Cat Records — at that time not yet a label, just a lovely little record shop selling electronic music in a Covent Garden basement — where I’d go and spend all my money whilst not finishing projects at college round the corner. Dave worked in the shop along with Alex Knight and Lee Grainge (who collaborated with Hazel Bligh under the name Human, releasing 2 EPs, which I’ll post at a later date).
This journey starts in Detroit with Juan Atkins and ends in LA with The Doors, spanning continents and decades between.
