Summary: DJ Magazine give away yet ANOTHER excellent tape of choons.
Keywords: Graeme Park, UCR, DJ Magazine, CHOONS!

Yup, they've gone and done it again.

	The current edition of DJ Magazine has yet another free cover tape,
this one full of tunes from UCR (Union City Recordings), mixed by Graeme Park.
	I'd say this is the best one so far, and its beginning to look like 
these tapes are becoming a regular, every-other-issue thing. 


	[BMEX]	??????		-	Always.
	[BMEX]	??????		-	Burning Love (I think!).
		UFI		-	Understand this Groove.
		TC1991		-	Berry.
		TC1992		-	Funky Guitar.
		??????		-	Appolina.
	[MK]	??????		-	Bad Man.
		Mombassa	- 	Cry Freedom.
		Sure is Pure	-	Is this love really real.
		Metropolis	-	Metropolis.
		Metropolis	-	??????????

[ Note : Apologies for the '?????'s. Some snide bastard pinched my copy of the 
  magazine when I was on the train today, so I only have the tape (minus cover)
  and my prior knowledge of the tunes to go by. ]

	As far as the mixing goes, this has to be possibly one of the hardest
selections of tunes to mix. Theres a real mix in there - "Vanilla" House, 
Tribal, Garagey-House and the two Metropolis tracks, which I don't even want
to attempt to classify, but are bloody good. Graeme Park has really done 
himself proud here; the tapes a live mix, done for the day after he was 
asked.

Just for a recap - 

	Issue 74 : Justin Robertson / Guerilla Records.
	
		Typical Guerilla fare, arguably the home of progressive house.
		Includes (at the time) fairly recent tracks, with a few older
		choons included. 	

	Issue 76 : DJ Pierre        / Strictly Rhythm.

		Strictlys mix of (hard) house and garage is captured in this 
		tape, with quite a few very recent (UK) releases on, 
		(Cynthia M, aly-us ; lets not get into the "you're behind us"
		 argument), as well as some real summer classics (Djaimen for
		 one).

	Issue 78 : Graeme Park      / UCR.

		UCR's tape is a "best so far" affair, full of tunes you're 
		bound to know, and that you probably went mental(ish) to.
		Graeme's mixing is spot on : This is a tape not to miss.


   [ Awaiting the almost inevitable Sasha or Mike Pickering tape. Please? ]

	Also in the magazine this fortnight ; interviews with Graeme Park &
Sasha ; an article about the featured label, Union City Recordings ; stuff
about (the re-emergence of) Disco, and a special chart section, with the top
50-odd tunes of the year, as well as the standard charts, DJ charts, and BPM
record details.

	On a side note ; To anyone who was at the Hacienda last Friday - nice 
one. It was a truly excellent night, the atmosphere was great, the music was
perfect - especially the 'suprise' play of "Good Life" by inner city at the 
end, which was a pure stroke of genius.
	
[Boy, I wish they'd have another 4am'er. Either that, or Manchester loses its
 (literally) archaic attitude to opening hours, and grants some after-hours
 club licences. Hell, its not as if we want to get pissed or anything. We'd
 just like to dance. What a shock eh.]
	
	If anyone has any idea what the trouble was that happened after Mike
Pickering started , then I'd be grateful of email, as (despite being on the
stage) the only thing I saw was most of the Hacs's security trooping along the
back of us with some poor girl in tears leading them. Then the gabbers appeared
whilst the club was closing up, and I was discreetly ushered away  by friends  
before I did something stupid, like try and hug one of em. :-)

			Shine on, keep the faith,

				
				Chris.
