[@AlexanderBuck1973]

When Fabio talks about Randall taking over Paradise Club he is bang on. In terms of his mixing ability and tune selection, Randall was untouchable.

[@danieledwards1490]

Still is.

[@jonathanray4987]

The vibes on this interview. All love and laughter. I was at this Outlook. Saw Randall play the boat party. Rest in Beats

[@mrjamescurry]

[@karisburton1]

If you love it; it never leaves you. So true. D&B still going strong.

[@sconeboy]

RIP Randall

[@mrgee918]

Foundation talk. Thanks for posting and letting them tell their story. To the paradise crew❤ "HAVE A GOOD LIFE"

[@afropovic]

Awesome interview and the interviewer is pro level. Very very good.

[@LondonSoundSystem]

People should pay close attention to We are E, an Algerian sample, gives some idea of the exquisite and broad referencing of availble music by Lennie and those embarked on the voyage into new music. Those early pressings were around in 86 I believe, I think mine was bought in Music Power or Body Music, it's hard to be sure but it was a game changer.

[@NextSound170]

This is it, these guys sourced music not copying the next “big” thing unlike today, all wanna sound like Ulterior Motive, Noisa and Photek

[@LondonSoundSystem]

@@NextSound170 well said, ghost writing, even in dance music now, driven more by social media nous than any honest passion, competence or enjoyment of the shyared experience, more the desire to pontificate from above and feel superior whilst acheiving in an environent of decaying standards and low barriers to entry. .

[@clivejefferies]

I could listen to these guys all day. Great interviewing too.

[@Dev_Entity]

long live english electronic music.

[@DanielLovett-n2v]

Banging tune❤

[@keendnb]

It was so dark in there we couldn't see anyone.... Nearly coughed up a kidney 🤣

[@thedriftmc]

My first rave was September '91. Big up two absolute Dons.. been with you since day one.

[@awall7635]

Everyone in Paradise was waiting for Randall hahahahha true dat!!!!

[@paullawson8610]

Randall and Gq perfect match i loved Paradise

[@DanielLovett-n2v]

Banging interview ❤

[@NeilCampbell1]

Loved every minute

[@LondonSoundSystem]

Mark & Denis as Tom & Jerry broke ground,provided Goldie his sound and made the massive tune, Maximum Sound, still one of my favourites.

[@warrenedward1462]

Brilliant absolutely brilliant. Loved this interview from start to end. First time I have heard Randall in interview and what a guy he is. Hilarious and always a pleasure to hear stories from fabio. Top guys and legendary Djs. Big ups 💪

[@danuall5816]

I used to collect tape packs in the 90's, heard many amazing sets from numerous DJ's but Randall's sets at AWOL were untouchable, I was never interested in buying a pair decks until Randall changed that. RIP

[@TheInfinitesouls1]

Absolute legends

[@Z_saxtron30001]

[@concernedcitizen3254]

What is the one before it?

[@LondonSoundSystem]

Horizon, JFM(Jackie) & LWR etc were run in a serious fashion and played different music show by show. What people need to think of is that each one of these dj's is striving for exellance against a backdrop of friendly competitiion and the desire to impress and animate their audience, the genres were different, side by side and that led to cross polination in the experimentation that was going on, the hybrid sounds, electro flowing into hip hop, then flowing into jacking house, vast attempts to get a rise from the people and find that sweet sound, it was passion personified on the perfect sounds. It was that typical urban uk melding of a love of electronics and superlative sound systems, enjoyed here and by the incoming Windrush generation that led to audacious events like Carnival and pirate radio, the platform to inform and expand the musical and emmotional base of a lot of people. I remember that here in London we were editing the soul and jazz funk tracks to play on the big bass sound systems, Rita Write, Touch me Take me got the re-edit, it was already heavy and needed some speaker array to convey the sonics properly. There is so much that is hardly known and never said, some really unusual happenings and quirky occurences, that always seem to exist as things begin. The Jungle explosion and then Garage had the city keyed into music, celebration and exaltation. in 2010-2012 the clubs were still pumping but things are resting now.

I myself divorced DnB in 1997-2002, and then re married DnB for the second time, and have been happily married ever since.....................no lie.

[@backintheday5028]

Similar; but a bit longer of a divorce. Fell out with it all in 99 (since 91/92) and came back 2014.

[@jamieagnew1608]

That was a bad time to be divorced!

[@AlexanderBuck1973]

I first heard Goldies Terminator down at Paradise Club. Goldie was there to hear Randall drop it for the first time, 5am or something. The place went crazy. Goldie was going mental on the dance floor.

[@warrenb666]

​@@AlexanderBuck1973nope it was grooverider who first dropped it at rage it was in a goldie interview

[@AlexanderBuck1973]
