We're nearly 3 quarters of the way through the year and one weekly rave we're yet to visit is Die Hard. This used to happen at the appropriately named Dielectric club in Leicester.
One memory I have of visiting Leicester in the 90s was going into a record shop which I think was called 5HQ and asked if they had any happy hardcore and they laughed and said no. Yet just round the corner was this weekly hardcore night.
What attracts me to this night as opposed to the other 51 events of the year was the live PA by Jimmy J. Not only was he possibly my favourite DJ back in the day, we've also reached the point where hardcore was getting more and more kick drum led whereas Jimmy J was sticking with the breakbeats.
Unfortunately the Jimmy J live PA appears not to be on any tapes. The only tape I've found from this event was by DJ Unknown.
He goes by the name Chris Unknown these days and is one of the few 90s hardcore DJs still around who never really went away.
The set has a bit of drum & bass in it too included the often played "The Lighter" by Sound of the Future.
Hardcore wise the set consists mostly of tune from Quosh records or Triffik Toons which was a sub label of Quosh, both run by DJ Unknown along with DJ SY. It includes 3 Cheddar tunes from that label.
Just the one new for 1995 tune which is "I Want You" by Two Ruff.
Elsewhere on the line up we have DJ SY himself along with Druid and Clarkee.
