BRISTOL PIRATE RADIO RECORDINGS: May 2009

BRISTOL PIRATE RADIO RECORDINGS

This blog is intended for me to post my pirate radio recordings. Most of the recordings are from Bristol, most will be pirate but there will be some legal stations and stations from other cities or national stations.

IF YOU OR YOUR FRIENDS HAVE ANY TAPE RECORDINGS OF PIRATE RADIO FROM BRISTOL, PLEASE SUBMIT THEM TO THIS BLOG BY RECORDING THEM TO MP3 (CLICK HERE FOR A HELP GUIDE) AND UPLOADING THEM TO http://www.sharebee.com, or a similar site such as Megaupload, Mediafire, ZShare, but not Rapidshare as it's getting a bit hard to use. SEND THE URL IT GIVES YOU TO ME VIA A COMMENT ON MY LATEST POST or BY EMAIL AT bristolpirates at gmail.com (you'll have to correct that with the proper @ symbol, I started getting spam on the address). WE COULD ALSO ARRANGE A PICK-UP OF YOUR TAPES IF YOU LIVE IN BRISTOL AND CAN'T CONVERT TAPES TO MP3. THANKS IN ADVANCE, YOU WILL BE CREDITED.

10000 Spoons said...: Don't suppose you ever got hold of the Carl Cox mix from the PSB's show, did you? At the time it was one of those mixes that didn't leave my Walkman for months... I found a third-generation copy of it in amongst some old tapes a few years ago but the quality's really hissy. Don't worry if not, I'm just pleased there's a tracklisting of sorts out there!; 24 November 2009 08:31
Al said...: 10000 Spoons - sorry mate, haven't found it yet. I think I might have a rubbish copy on mp3 somewhere but it's got lost in a pile of CDs. I'm after a better copy really. Rip yours if you like, if you do it at a decent quality (320k) I might be able to clean it up a bit, depending how bad it is.; 24 November 2009 08:39

Anonymous said...: I listened to the recording of my set and downloaded it myself as i have no way of recoring it onto cd at the moment. If you could record this weeks set i'd be very grateful. Thanks mate Coldharbour Ray; 23 May 2009 14:21
Al said...: Ray http://www.righttooffend.com/ripper/ That's the site I used to rip the stream. http://axefm.co.uk/icecold.asx is the url you need to enter into the schedule, just give it a name like 'IceCold103-ColdharbourRay(date)' and set the date and time, click add and it should record it for you. Go to the finished folder to pick up the mp3. Already set it for this week ;) Cheers Al; 23 May 2009 14:48
Anonymous said...: Cheers Al, Listen for your shout out Coldharbour; 24 May 2009 02:40
Al said...: Cool, think the stream ripper site has just broken though, it won't load up for me now. I think it might be my fault, cause I made a mistake entering something into the schedule and then tried to delete the entry. Looks like the delete function is knackered.

Beep, beep, beep, beep....

LINK DEAD (BUT THIS WAS ONE OF MY MOST DOWNLOADED FILES EVER!)

That's on my radio right now. A steady beep with a constant rhythm which sort of skips every now and then, like it's a short mp3 looping around in an mp3 player.

EDIT: Turned out to be Passion's FM relay coming back on. The signal level is all over the shop, one minute clear as a bell, the next barely audiable behind Sunshine... We'll see how this pans out. Big up for sticking with it though.

Rich B said...: Is this the one with Kenny Ken, Frankie Knuckles & Sasha? If it isn't, I've got that I can post. I believe they stood in for Simon Bates.; 18 May 2009 12:25
Al said...: Hey Rich, it's only got the Frankie Knuckles one and it cuts off before the end. I do have some of the others from that year here somewhere, but they are really poor quality. Is your one reasonably good quality? You're probably right about Simon Bates. Was it still Bates they were standing in for the next year?; 18 May 2009 16:23
Rich B said...: I got them from here: http://www.djhistory.com/forum/showthread.php?t=37379 ..and the links are still live. Permanently hosted by the looks of it. Decent sound quality too.; 19 May 2009 12:28
Al said...: Cheers Rich, posted :)

Anonymous said...: Got another for you Al. Galaxy 97.2 FM - Deli G - 'The Touch' 29/4/92. http://www.sendspace.com/file/te7nueThis was posted by someone on a blog ages ago and I can't find it online anymore. Big shout to you if this is your tape. I'll get some Dazee and some Bunjy up soon.; 13 May 2009 14:48
Al said...: I don't think this was me, I think I might have maybe one or two The Touch tapes somewhere from 93 onwards but none from before. Thanks :); 13 May 2009 17:06
Mr Doooix said...: I have a wicked Dirty Den mixtape somewhere from about the same time. Pure soul and hip hop -that's how it was done back then.; 10 June 2009 07:48
Al said...: Mr Dooix - Is it one on actual tape or did you pick it up on mp3 somewhere? I got one of Den at Mozart's Winebar from 1987 (which is interrupted part way through by a bit of BAD Radio). Towards the end he plays Public Enemy - Rebel Without A Pause and says something about 'the price of cheese is terrible' :D; 10 June 2009 08:07

Passion 104FM - May/June 1995

Rich B said...: Oh nice one. :) Re: Power/Passion - I'm not sure when it happened but some time early in '95, Power became known as Passion. 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). Their RSL 'Powerjam 106.6' came on around December. After that they came back as Dance 104 some time in January '96.; 12 May 2009 05:14
Al said...: Thanks for the info on that one Rich, it's always appreciated. It's weird that I don't even remember this happening. 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. 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. I'd love to hear that announcement if you can find it :); 12 May 2009 05:33
Rich B said...: Well I discovered Passion 106.2 in '98. Dance FM had become mainly dancehall by this point. Anyway here's the next one. Passion 104FM, Pre-St. Pauls carnival warm-up jungle shows (1995). Brooklyn & MC Hyper during the daytime, DJ Perks late in the same evening. 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. I think he also played Hip Hop with DJ Demic on the RBG Ruffblood show (Passion). http://www.sendspace.com/file/que8em; 12 May 2009 07:47
Al said...: Yeah, I remember listening to Perks on occasions, DJ Quick too. 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.; 12 May 2009 16:44

Rich B said...: Hey mate, full respect for getting this stuff online. I've got a few tape rips for you. Starting us off - this was recorded around May - June 1995. You've got Digee (If that's how it's spelt), Finecut, Brooklyn & Felony on Passion 104, and a small segment of Roni & Krust 'pon Galaxy.; 11 May 2009 16:06
Al said...: Nice one for the tape Rich, I'll give it a listen later on and put a proper post up on the blog for it :) Looking forward to any more you've got.
