Slammin Vinyl @ Labyrinth, Dalston 18/08/1995

 

Jimmy J

We're now approaching the end of the first chapter of Slammin Vinyl. A week prior to this event was their penultimate event at the Rhythm Station. This week see's their first event at Labyrinth. Then in September we have their final event at the Rhythm Station followed by another event at Labyrinth a week later.

These four events made up the tape pack called "In Full Effect - The Final Tape Pack". The problem though is that it's not clear which tapes are from which events and I can't be 100% certain any of the tapes are from this event.

Basically all of the DJs on the tape pack who played at this event also played at least 1 of the other 3 events. The ones that could possibly be from this event are Seduction, Billy Bunter, Red Alert, Slam and Jimmy J.

One thing I can establish though is that if the Jimmy J tape is from another event then it's the one the previous week whereas the other tapes could be from future dates.

On that basis, these are the new for 1995 tunes:

2 Croozin' - Reach Out

Unknown Artist - Obscene Vol. 1

Jimmy J & Cru-L-T - I Want To Be Forever

2 Croozin' - Don't Hold Back

At a time when DJs are moving towards the kick drum, Jimmy J was the one was was sticking to the breakbeat. Even though I've posted his set by default of being the most likely tape to be from this event, there's a good chance I would have picked his set anyway.

As mentioned there was a further Slammin Vinyl at Labyrinth in September, but I'll be featuring the final one at the Rhythm Station when the time comes.
