A Homeboy A Hippie And A Funki Dredd - Total Confusion [1990]

[@KatieBland-p1v]

Incredible. Takes me back to 1989/90. They were 100% ahead of their time. Just superb ❤

[@Bandungski]

Classicisme! now i am 50. The best time of my life 🙏🏾✌🏽

[@shehzadhussain2849]

I bought this from eastern bloc in manch im 52 this month. Wow what a track

[@stephenwidden-xk4uk]

You can hear the genius on this track .. how it goes hard but also has those beautiful emotive chords in the background. A stone cold classic.

[@manalive1623]

1990 Soundgarden, Manchester. Small club on Back Piccadilly, opposite the crappy Sachas Hotel. 808 State DJs Darren and Andy on the decks. Two coppers came into the club , while Total Confusion was on, doing a walk through, to which the whole place responded by going even more mental to the tune, like 300 Bez’s, all dancing and pointing at the coppers, chanting the ‘whoo, whoo, woo, woo’ part. Vivid memory. Great track.

[@stephnicholas4579]

Love it when someone else has your same memories 😁 Soundgarden was such a small dark cellar; but it was epic!! Used to be a girl in there that looked just like Saffron, in all black lycra and a little black bob - she appeared to hang out with all the 'Destroy Boys' as I used to call them - I used to buzz off her, dancing away 😊 Good job I had my fake ID (16-19 bus pass) or I'd have never got in!! Think I was 15, but looked about 12!! The strobe and the smoke were incessant!! 😂

[@stephnicholas4579]

Are you actually from Man Alive? 🤩

[@manalive1623]

@@stephnicholas4579 Love it! Great memories. It was a smart little club and top times. I was only 16 myself when went there and Konspiracy too. I only went to Man Alive once 😄

[@stephnicholas4579]

Bloody hell Konspiracy, that was a place! Made especially for LSD with that room of mirrors and the next room that was like caves with all crazy faces painted on them! 😮😂 We used to get the bus into town and then walk home to Swinton/Worsley - I'd tell my mum I was sleeping out at my mates house, she would tell her mum she was sleeping at ours 😁 Now I'm a parent myself of a boy that is the age I was when I started going out......kind of relieved he's a bit more of a brainiac/gamer!😂

[@manalive1623]

@@stephnicholas4579 I remember all those rooms and stairs and corridors. Crazy! Loved the caves especially. Edgy vibe at times but fantastic place! We were on the bus from Irlam then night bus from Piccadilly.

[@midiman25]

They tore up the stage on Dance Energy. I was at School around this time and I remember going into London in the evenings when the scene was huge. Shops like Mash on Oxford Street and Hyper Hyper in Chelsea were blazing. Dam good times for Music and Clothes in London.

[@SilvaBlakk]

Bloody hell, Mash!!! I forgot about that shop!! Salute and thank you!!

​@@MikeyCompton I am still in music... 32 years strong. In the 90's I was - Project One (Roughneck), A Homeboy, a Hippie and a Funki Dredd (Total Confusion), Thumpin Vinyl (Blu Room, Bone n Bro's), Three Amigos (25 Miles) to name just a few of the music productions/ acts I was part of. Spent the next decade (2000's) writing for TV shows like Pimp my ride/ Cribs/ My Sweet 16 / Americas Next Top Model and shit load of movies I I 2004 I met and developed a 15 yr old Labrinth (PassOut, Let the Sunshine, Earthquake) who is now producing the Euporia sound track. For the last 10 years I have managed artists. I discovered and developed a young artist names Ashnikko and I look after Etta Bond, Avelino and much, much more. I am a blessed man to work in the music world...I am always grateful for the day me and Caspar met... Changed both our lives! I wish you success in all you strive for!

EVERY time this song was played at an underground, it NEVER failed to pack the floor! Fantastic!!111

[@SuperRedSilk]

Gets better with age......I remember hearing this for the first time in a little club and it was like time stood still while it played out......I'll never forget that moment.

[@benji.B-side]

Club Havana 1990 in Middlesbrough, packed to the rafters with us ravers. When this beauty was dropped, total explosion of dance mayhem, total oneness of a moving mass of a beautiful crowd. Never to be repeated, we were blessed. I want a time machine!!!

A friend of mine used to throw house parties in the early 90s at his grandmother's house. Joan, his grandmother, had a big house, a block back from Sydney harbour, up high overlooking the city skyline, with a ball room at the lower level. They were great parties that are fondly remembered by all who attended. Anyway, this song was a staple in his set and always brought everyone onto the dance floor. Cracking track.

[@ItaliaTP]

Used to blast this track night and day back in the early 90's in Brooklyn, NYC!!! Great memories...
