So far this year we've visited Dance Planet in Cornwall, Dance Planet in Birmingham and now we have Dance Planet at The Sanctuary in Milton Keynes.
It wasn't the first time they'd held an event there, the first was in 1993 and was actually before the first Helter Skelter event was held there.
We've seen the end of an era for several things in 1995, but I would say this event was heading towards the end of an era for Dance Planet. This was their final event of 1995 and they had big plans for 1996 including a big outdoor event. That never happened though and they only did 3 events in 1996. They started a weekly club night in Wolverhampton at the start of 1997 but by February they were finished.
When I looked at the tape pack and it's track listings I saw there was a set from Carl Cox in there and he was playing hardcore. I thought did they manage to bring him out of retirement one last time to play a hardcore set. It turns out they didn't, it's a set from 1994.
The set I've posted is the DJ Vibes one because I just think it illustrates how the music has changed throughout 1995. The breaks haven't gone completely but it certainly feels more of a kick drum led set.
Most of the tapes are hardcore ones, just a DJ SS tape, a Mastervibe tape with a couple of hardcore tracks and a part Groovrider set provide the drum & bass.
As a result not too many new for 1995 drum & bass tunes which are:
D-Power - Beef
Apollo 13 - Wobble
Phyzix - Down Wid Da Lights
DJ Rap - I Can't Stop
Maldini - Wake Up Call
Plenty of new for 1995 hardcore tunes though:
Ultimate Buzz - Rock Da Bass
Casio Brothers - Partytime
GSI - Power Up
Two Ruff - I Want You
Piano City Productions - Set Me Free
DJ Isaac & Pagan - Up, My Way
DJ Isaac - Pump Up The Party
El Bruto - Heaven
Ferocious - Listen To Me
Jack D - Get Down
JDS - Rock The Disco
Ultra-Sonic - Make That Move
Bill & Ted - Rhythm
DJ Ham - So Damn Tuff
Renegade & Static - Scotland Is Rockin
Force & Styles - Fireworks
DJ Demand - 31 Seconds
Force & Styles - Get On Up
High Flyers Feat DJ Fade - Take Me Higher
High Flyers Feat DJ Fade - Can You Feel It
DJ Ten - Turn Up The Music
Happy Tunes - Volume 7
Jack Speed - Everybody Here Tonight
The 4 Beater - Let Go
DJ Ten - Rock The Discotek / You Make Me Happy
One of note is "31 Seconds" by DJ Demand which is essentially a hardcore version of "Valley of the Shadows" by Origin Unknown. Not the only time something like that has happened, but it doesn't work for me.
It's the last visit to Dance Planet for the year, but not the last visit to The Sanctuary. More on that when the time comes.
