In these videos you get to look through my personal vinyl collection, the vinyl in these videos were collected over time by myself from the mid 1980,s onwards and will mostly feature vinyl from the rave era of electronic dance music during the 1990,s to the early 2000s, everything from house, trance, techno, breakbeat, 'drum n bass etc, some of these vinyl records i played at gigs, parties, clubs and underground events.
At some point i will be selling these Vinyl records, info on how and where to purchase them will be made available in the description of the uploaded vinyl video. If there is no info in the description then the vinyl has either been sold and or the info details removed from the description or for whatever the reason the vinyl is no longer available for purchase etc but could still be subject to change in the future so check the description from time to time, so why not have a rummage through the collection and who knows there might be that hidden gem you've always wanted to know the name of but didn't, and in the meantime enjoy the music.

Notes: Pre-signed release with a version of the original mix containing vocals from Björk. Bjango is a discarded remix of Hyperballad and the vocals were removed for the commercial release.
According to a post on the now defunct 2bitpie.net, this isn't the exact same as the released version, as it includes vocals from Björk. The reason for this is because "Bjango" was originally a remix that Fluke did for "Hyperballad".
2bipie.net owner Martin contacted Jon Fugler of Fluke/The Lucky Monkeys who explained:
"Well, story, long, where to begin…
We were at Real World Studios for their recording week, ’95 I think, where all the artists from Womad get together and record, as everyone is in the country from far flung places and RW has loads of space to work it makes a lot of sense. Anyway, not that productive for us but we did get this amazing piece by a berimbau recorded, weird instrument, sounds like Rez on a stick.
We were asked to do a mix for Bjork the following year, track was Hyperballad, OLI wanted something big, progressive and Fluke like, unsurprisingly, so we duly delivered, using the berimbau from RealWorld. Bjork wasn’t so convinced by our mix, so we did another one, halftime, which she loved and was duly used, this is one of my favorite mixes we did.
So, what to do with the original, we chatted and decided there would be no harm in releasing a cheeky white label of say 1000 copies and with the tacit agreement of OLI this is what we did, this is what I think you have, just can’t remember the colour. Well, 1000 quickly became 3000 and we were then approached by Hi-Life for a release, which we did, with pleasure, although still signed to Circa.
Everyone was so much more relaxed in the 90′s….
As for Bjork……. well, there was a comedy meeting at an MTV party, small ballistic Icelandic diva told me in no uncertain terms that all we had to 'was fucking ask'!"

Don't know if you have seen it [I just looked] but there is a comment on this release on Discogs that gives the interesting back story of this white vinyl track. Excellent track. Whenever there are overtones on a track, it always gets my attention.

@@timothyhilton3408 yes it’s in the description, at the bottom. I added it as it’s a white label and hard to get info on white labels i might post info but only for white labels or limited editions etc I will put it in the descriptions of the white labels I upload if there is info etc.
