Good old skool music
Looking back to those funny and lovely days of the beginning of the 90s when the good old UK DJ's and groups were pioneers of the techno music-scene is funny and nostalgic.It all began when i was listening to a playlist on the tube called "u know u like it old skool" and found the most popular good dance tracks from artists and groups like Rachel Wallace, 2 bad mice, Altern 8, The criminal minds, Bizarre inc and Kicks like a mule.... wow, what a ride back in time.
Back then, i wasnt that kind of guy who just enjoyed the commercial dance-music that was produced in Sweden for instance, no way:) i wanted a bit of underground as well so i loved when i could lay my hands on a record from above mentioned artists because they were rare in Sweden and sometimes none could be found there.
Nowadays you can get hold on everything if you just know where or how to search for it, thanks to the good old internet:).
so, for the last couple of days i have been going back in time, with some happy memories from the good old days with help from the UK masters.
To give you an insight of how the old skool sounds, here's a list of tracks easily found on the tube:
the criminal minds - baptised by dub
Rachel Wallace - tell me why
2 bad mice - bombscare
Unity - Unity (future sound of london remix)
There were also some loads of commercial stuff produced during that time from artists like dr. alban, ace of base, e-type etc but they don't exactly fit in into the old skool section because they were to common and were not that fun to listen to.
Needless to say however, is all those artists are more or less the beginning of what came later on known today as dance music.
Many of todays dj's and artists are influensed by the good oldguys.
