random music crap
While looking through a box of various stuff rescued from my mother’s attic, i came across three flyers for the now long and sadly defunct Aberdeen techno club;Trauma.
I spent many a night attending many memorable club and party nights up in sunny Aberdeen with the mad for it Trauma crew,seeing acts like EgeBamYasi,Tobias Schmidt,Steve Glencross,David Holmes Evil Eddie Richards,Twitch of Pure and Optimo fame.
For anyone else who remembers some great nights and good people….
Eddie Richards is one of the unsung stars of UK House music,he’s been belting out his flawless mixes of House/Tribal/Techno records for over 20 years.Richards has had residencies and played in some of the most important clubs in the history of dance music,Clink Street,Heaven and many more.He released one of the first Acid House records,remixed everyone from Orbital to The Shamen, and found time to start the world’s first ever dj agency
I met him very briefly twice, a very nice and articulate guy,very down to earth,with non of the posturing you get from some big name dj’s who have been around a tenth of the time.I remember he was slightly miffed as the decks were supposed to have been set up so the pitch was +/-16,instead of the usual +/-8,(this was so he could play some older, slower stuff,pitched up to match the speed of much newer records)He was cool about it though,and like the true pro he is,he just got on with it and delivered an excellent set.He even came back to the afterparty and played for hours before going back to his hotel for a couple of hours kip before his flight back home.What a star!
Check out his site ,there are several top quality mixes to download.
