Hi Si

I am going to this too, if I seem to remember wasnt Yousef was a winner of the Bedroom dj mix in either mixmag or muzik magazine, and how well has he done since well done! Big respect to him he puts on a quality monthly night in his home city and reguarly communicates with his fans via his message board.

Can't really understand the negative comments re Pete Tong he has championed so many dj's acts since 1993 and given them a forum to air their talents whether you like it or not he has probably done more for dance electronic music over the last 17 years or so than anybody else. Period!

Ask most dj's and they will confirm this too, I realise as per listening to him I wouldnt particularly go to see him live although I have in the past, he can mix and people do get on a bandwagon about this, same re Oakie too even in his heyday. As long as punters have a good time lets not get too hung up if its not your bag so be it but lets be positive about it.

Re: Sasha/Hawtin Essential Mix

Personally, i dig his e-mix b2b with Dave Seaman (where he starts with Hide U)

Yeh, that is from Lush! 5th Birthday March 2001.

Was at it. Top night!!

Re: Sasha/Hawtin Essential Mix

why couldnt they replace tong with diggers or something tho... or just anyone else god

Quite an ironic typo there possibly!!

So this is being recorded for the 500th broadcast. Will that be a live broadcast or will it be played back later?

lucky bastard.


but seriously, is it just non-stop "oi fuckin' oi" in that place? Because they did that at Sasha's e-mix from there, too.

Tong is a legend, end of, and I think he ADDS to the e-mixes with his voiceovers. His voice is THE voice of UK clubbing for people my generation. In fifty years time people will still be moaning about his bloody mixing........who cares!!

Funny enough I ran into Yousef just after he won that. I was going to Home to see Oakenfold and Yousef was in the Sound Republic next door. I didn't know he was a DJ we just got talking. He was with some fit bird in a Marlborough motorcycle jacket. He was playing early at Renaissance at the Cross them late at MOS. He invited me and my friend to catch him later at MOS but we never made it. This photo was taken that night

Re: Sasha/Hawtin Essential Mix

Are Zabiela and Yousef the only two dj's to win that who made it big do you reckon?

Most of the time back then. Not as much now, it's had a mega refurb. So ceiling is very high. Back then was a low ceiling so amplified the atmosphere ten fold.

Re: Sasha/Hawtin Essential Mix

Has anyone actually seen Tong live (other than a BBC or festival event)? I did a few years back and remember him playing some ridiculously sexy prog and techno. Very good set. If only he'd do that on his essential mixes!
