Basic Rhythm - 1991 (Part 1) by Basic Rhythm

I started this mix series a number of years ago, but then moved abroad and was unable to continue. During that time I started the Basic Rhythm project as a means of more explicitly exploring my own musical background in pirate radio and in the process re-contextualizing and updating it. Having since moved back to London I decided to relaunch the series, this time using the Basic Rhythm alias as it felt more apt to tie it to this project.

The idea is to eventually record my entire record collection, year by year, in hour-long mixes. Each mix will naturally be entirely subjective, consisting of what I was playing and listening to at the time, as well as the big tunes on radio and in the raves.

Shout out to Barry (Barry’s Da Mix), Vonnett, Leon, James, Jamie K, MR2, Fugee and all the Rude FM Kru, Leon at Music House, Loxy, Jim Kutta, Mike and everyone at Planet Mu, Acre, Mickey Pearce, Scratcha, all the silent listeners and all the bedroom ravers.
