    Old Kiss FM Mixes

    These mixes were all recorded, by me, onto cassette from Kiss FM. Many from Kiss 94 FM back in their pirate days, then from Kiss 100 FM when they went legal.


    Admittedly, one or two of them aren’t actually mixes - they’re tracks that I recorded from various shows and joined together.



    Some of the recording quality is appalling. Reception wasn’t always that good, especially in the pirate days. Some tracks have been spliced together, either by recording from tape to tape or by physically splicing. So apologies for the sound quality, but it does take me back to the days of sitting by the radio, finger on the pause button, listening to stuff that, literally, couldn’t be heard anywhere else..


    I’ve tried to identify the DJ where I could. I used to edit the DJ’s talking out, though I regret this a little now. Sometimes I wrote the name of the DJ down, but not always.


    Anyway - hopefully you’ll find something in here that you’ll enjoy or relate to. If not, it might help give you an idea of what House was like in the mid 80s - early 90s in London.

        Julesee - If you want techno then definitely check out the Baby Ford and Eon - still one of my favourites. Also the Lenny Dee, Colin Favor and Colin Dale ones.

        The Sasha and John Digweed Giving it Up mixes were both on the same show. Sasha did the talking then introduced Diggers for his mix. Remember it well.

              Wow thanks! Definitely going to be checking these out later. Have you been to richcolour's site? He used to record kiss fm mixes starting in 1985.

              Here's one of the mixes he taped in 1985, with an excerpt of Paul talking about Kiss in the early days:
              This is from when Oakenfold was a DJ at Kiss FM in London when it was a pirate station. You can hear him introduce the mix in this one at the beginning :D He was only 22 years old at the time! Paul Oakenfold @ Kiss FM, London - Live And Direct 1985 Records used (in order of appearance) Click below to hear the unknown


              And here's richcolour's site where he has some of the kiss fm mixes up for streaming: http://mastermix.org

                Any chance you have Galaxy FM recordings from the same era (mid 90s)? Not sure exactly where in the UK it aired outside of Bristol.

                    You're reading me wrong. Way Out West had a show on there around that time. I have a partially incomplete archive, would love to complete it, and it never hurts to ask.

                            The Digweed ones is his mix from the 21st October 1993 show here:
                            DJ Sasha & John Digweed @ Kiss100 FM, 21st Oct 1993
                            from track 11 to 20 but then some extra not on that list (or second "extra bit" part).

                            The Sasha one seems different to the Feb 93 or October 93 shows based on the tracklists, but obviously around a similar time.
