Like a snowball fight. Literally 2 ranks of nutters flinging pills at each other. I’ll never forget one knocking the needle off a tune. Hundreds of pounds worth all over floor. Crunchy under foot. Mayhem.

There were a bunch of Cardiff casuals out here in Sydney during this period, unfortunately I got to see a lot of pilled up fights during this era because of them. Right bunch of toilets.
Templehead was 91
When out running I still listen to house mixes from 92/93 - It was when Strictly was at its Peak (Believers / South St Players etc) - Awaits someone correcting me they were 92

Loved Floral St back then. My Mrs worked for Paul Smith Women so got staff discount; but for me Burro was where it was at, used to ransack the sample sale twice a year.

There was a big crew when I was out there - Welsh Embassy , who put on a load of raves. Some cracking nights/days.
Also born Jan '75. Some pretty huge albums were released in 1993. Just in Hip Hop we had 36 Chambers, Black Sunday, Doggystyle, Jazzmatazz, Lethal Injection, Midnight Marauders, Buhloone Mindstate, Digable Planets first LP and of course '93 Till Infinity!
Autechre released Incunabula, Plastikman’s Sheet One, Polygon Window, Orbital Brown Album, B12 Electro Soma, Speedy J Ginger, Drexciya…
Elsewhere there was Björk’s Debut, Radiohead, Suede, Slowdive, Mazzy Star, PJ Harvey, One Dove, St Etienne… Loads of gear.

Been bugging me all week what I was doing/listening too. Been up loft to drag boxes of tapes down. Going in now see what I can find (That’s about 5%).
Wish me luck, wish I’d put dates on things.

The Farley and Heller essential mix was a cracker that year. And the David Homes essential mix was a belter (« David Homes and his box of tricks…. ») - he played at the Arches in the December of ´93 and it was a corker of a soirée.

I turned 49 also on the 25th of January burns night!
Perfecting my fake ID in anticipation of starting my clubbing career in early 94.

20 in 93. Going to Basics, Renaissance but mostly Cream, that was my church for years. Out and on it Friday to Sunday every weekend, without fail. Working in an RBS branch in NW England where all the other staff were middle aged married women. I’d barely speak to anyone Monday or Tuesday, start to come round on Wednesday afternoon and behave like a Human Traffic character Thursday and Friday, revving myself up for the weekend.
Every night, all the cash, cheques, sensitive docs and other fundamentally important stuff a bank needs to run would get locked in the walk in vault, with two keys so that no one person could get in and plunder the place. My manager had a habit of giving me one set to look after over the weekend, think she was trying to instil some responsibility in me. More often than not she’d regret it, having to phone me at 9am on a Monday morning to wake me up to get my arse in so they could actually open the branch. Every time I’d answer the phone “Shit, sorry Jeanette, I’ll be there in 10”

I guess there was Shave yer Tongue too, though I didn’t go to that. But we did go to The Bone and Mr Perry’s Skunk records nights too at the time. We went to a cracking Skunk records night between Christmas and New year of 93 (I think) in a pub just off The Strand. The skunk was blazing.

Yes, Burro was a great label. Got a few well worn favourites from there
