The Rhythm Doctor - Live at Tonic, Bognor, 15th August 1992.
The Rhythm Doctor had a residency and played every week at Tonic , in Bognor Regis on the South Coast. This is a mix originally on a cassette and it was digitised by my good friend Andy Campbell-Critchley, who had the foresight to preserve this amazing mix.
My friends and I have listened to this mix 100s of times collectively and there are some really special moments in this mix, When you listen to it, please bear in mind, it was done in 1992 and I have to say some of the mixing is first class and it's all done on vinyl, so you must truly appreciate what this guy is doing!
This is a LIVE set which fortunately includes the crowd, which takes this mix to another level and then there's the amazing MC. For me, this is as close to perfection that you can get.
This mix inspired me and my friends to buy two copies of the same track and experiment with the sounds, phasing, double beating and repeating. These days you can do all of this with a digital effects and although great' it simply does not have the same sound or effect as two vinyl tracks played together to create that effect.
Have a listen and see what you think and please, please leave comments!
