Back to Love (Hacienda, Number 1 Club & Renaissance Classics)(Part 1 - The Number 1 Club 1992/1993)

Back to Love (Hacienda, Number 1 Club & Renaissance 'Mansfield' Classics)(Part 1 - The Number 1 Club 1992/1993) - Mixed by Mark Anthony (April 2021) Just over a year ago I mixed a tribute to Manchester's 'Number 1 Club' using tracks selected and chosen from a list compiled by members of the club via the Facebook group 'The No1 Club Manchester (86-93)'. One Year on and it seems only right that we re-visit the 'Number 1' for another trip down memory lane... This time instead of doing a 'classics' mix I've tried to re-create a night and capture the sound & feel of the club from late 1992/early 1993. Utilizing some of the tracks I couldn't fit on the first mix and blending them together with the tougher more progressive music of the time I hope it gives you a feel of what a night at 'No 1' club with Tim Lennox on the turntables would have sounded like. Fingers crossed I've pulled it off.... I have to admit this really was a joy to do and although it's firmly a 'Number 1 Club' mix, I have to admit that by mid way through I found myself 50 miles south of Manchester on the dancefloor of another club in Mansfield, nr. Nottingham - the legendary 'Renaissance' (another place that holds many a memory). Tim Lennox was really championing that early 90's Progressive House vibe made famous by Sasha, Ian Ossia & John Digweed. It's a sound that really doesn't get played much nowadays but really epitomizes early 90's club culture and I love it x 1. Da Mabb - You Don't Get Stop 2. Slam - Eterna 3.
