For those who didn’t check out part 1 yet, I strongly suggest you do so first!

Part 2 picks up in 1991 and heads eagerly into 1992 with the legendary story of Ellis Dee.  We went behind the scenes of raves, preparing for sets, why Rhythm Section called it a day and so much more…. get stuck in!

The post Cunning Interviews: ELLIS DEE (part 2) appeared first on Hardcore Junglist.

The legend that is Ellis Dee needs little introduction, a staple part of the Hardcore era as a top billing DJ, and one-quarter of the seminal rave act Rhythm Section along with his groundbreaking solo releases.  Roy’s (Ellis Dee) contribution to starting, shaping and pushing the scene is integral to how we know it today. On a personal level, I’ve seen Roy DJ countless times and he was one of 4 DJs (along with Slipmatt, Ratty & Randall) I followed, admired and was inspired by since I first saw him grace the decks at Elevation in 1992.

If you think you know Ellis Dee, think again!

So we all know the raves he played, the tunes he made, but do we know the man himself?  Let’s put it this way, I’ve been fortunate to know Roy since around 2003 and I probably know about 5% of what we covered in this interview!  Roy’s roots go way back, with rich and exciting stories of how he first DJ’d for someone’s wedding at 14 years old, ran his own sound system, played on Sunrise FM and started one of the early Acid House parties – and this was all before 1991.  I decided to split this into 2 parts as there’s a lot to unfold with Roy’s history and I don’t want you to miss a beat.

In the next part, we’ll be digging deep into 1992 onwards to continue the Ellis Dee story.

Was a great honor to host the first outing on the decks publicly for over 10 years for DJ Pooch and he did not disappoint!

Pooch powered through a killer selection from 92 onwards starting with Old Skool Hardcore into Jungle and back again, all on glorious vinyl & dubplates!

A show not to be missed!

I’m lucky to call Slipmatt’s a friend and he has been for many years, but he’s been an inspiration to me as a DJ from day one. It’s always a good chat with Matt as his history is full of genuine passion and love for music and the art of DJing.

If you think you know Slipmatt then take a listen to this as I’m sure there will be some facts about his early history that you never knew!

As always, time’s never on your side so this chat focuses more on where it all began for Matt, his entry into the World Of Rave (yes pun intended!) and we wrapped up around 1994, there’s so much more to come…

Check out Slipmatt’s set from Fantazia NYE 1992/3, one of the best sets I’ve ever heard!
