Logix and Semtex have been in touch, any of their shows would be good to have. There was also Paz in the early days of Power FM (Jan 1994 ish). I think Passion first came on around the end of 94, about the same time as Krome and Time Ganja Man came out. Some of the first Passion shows I heard were MC Marv (used to be MC Whiz - Sublove crew) and Quick I think, possibly Perks too, and around Xmas that year Easygroove did a one-off all night set, Jungle and hard Techno. That was on 106.2. Passion seemed to be mostly Jungle for the first few weeks. I've got a Dead Calm 12" here somewhere.BristolPirateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06753018983514864898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3235083272783081225.post-13613630831285720672009-05-12T07:47:00.000-07:002009-05-12T07:47:00.000-07:00Well I discovered Passion 106.2 in '98.

Passion 104FM, Pre-St. Pauls carnival warm-up jungle shows (1995). <br /><br />Brooklyn & MC Hyper during the daytime, DJ Perks late in the same evening.<br /><br />Not much known about Perks. I gather he was mates with the Dead Calm boys from Shirehampton, as he used to give them and their Moving Shadow releases big props. <br /><br />I think he also played Hip Hop with DJ Demic on the RBG Ruffblood show (Passion). <br /><br /><A HREF="http://www.sendspace.com/file/que8em" REL="nofollow">http://www.sendspace.com/file/que8em</A>Rich Bnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3235083272783081225.post-22425679563687640852009-05-12T05:33:00.000-07:002009-05-12T05:33:00.000-07:00Thanks for the info on that one Rich, it's always ...Thanks for the info on that one Rich, it's always appreciated. It's weird that I don't even remember this happening.<br /><br />I guess that it was 'management' avoiding having to explain to the DTI why there was a pirate called Power FM with all the same DJs as the proposed Powerjam RSL.<br /><br />I remember that there was an announcement in the ads when Dance FM came on saying that they'd decided to merge Power and Passion together to produce Dance FM. I remember Dance FM was still going in early 99 and just came to an end before 2000. I'm not sure when Passion came back on 106.2 but I know it was before Dance went off air completely.<br /><br />I'd love to hear that announcement if you can find it :)BristolPirateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06753018983514864898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3235083272783081225.post-76156039959970904442009-05-12T05:14:00.000-07:002009-05-12T05:14:00.000-07:00Oh nice one. :)
Re: Power/Passion - I'm not sure ...Oh nice one. :)<br /><br />Re: Power/Passion - I'm not sure when it happened but some time early in '95, Power became known as Passion.<br /><br />It was known as Passion 104 all the way until October of that year, when they went off air completely to apply for the RSL (I think I still have the tape with this anouncement on it).<br /><br />Their RSL 'Powerjam 106.6' came on around December.<br /><br />After that they came back as Dance 104 some time in January '96.Rich Bnoreply@blogger.com
