Trade - (Updated 19/11/2011)


Ive decided to dedicate a whole page to the legendary Trade.  I will be posting mixes, flyers, info, my own memories and hopefully interviews as and when they are ready.

Please leave links to your own mixes, memories, flyers etc in the comments section.  Trade posts from the blog will also be put on this page.

Coming soon.

  • Mr first Trade.
  • Favourite Trade records.
  • Flyers / artwork.
  • Interviews (fingers crossed).
  • History.
  • DJs.

My first Trade.

This should actually be called my second attempt at Trade, as the first time I attempted to go was in December 1991.  My friend and I got to Turnmills at about 4am on the last Sunday before Christmas.  We spent about an hour queuing to get in, then the inevitable happened.  We got turned away for not being members.  We hung our heads in shame and went away.    This was the first (and unfortunately) not the last time I have been turned away from the club.

Luckily, this was the only time I got refused entry to Trade.  In January 1992 I sent off a passport picture along with £5 to Turnmills.  I remember sending the money and photo off and assuming that I wouldn't get anything in return.  A few weeks later I got a shiny new Trade membership card.  At this point I hadn't even been into the club yet.  But for some reason i felt so proud that i was a member.

A few weeks later a friend and I returned to Turnmills.  This time we came prepared.  I had my member ship card, we had our coolest (in our opinion) clothes on and we got their really early.  Even at 2.30am we were not the first in the queue.  There were a few guys who had already staked their places.  One of the guys was so prepared for the night ahead that he had a sports bag with a change of clothes, Lucozade and sandwiches in it.

Finally at about 4am the bouncers started to let people into the club.  i walked down the stairs to the bar area.  Later I was to learn that the bar area was nicknamed muscle alley (for a good reason).  It was always nicely intimidating to squeeze through all the topless muscle men when going to and from the dance floor to the bar area.

My first impression of Trade were a bit contradictory.  I was surprised at how small the dance floor actually was.  Remember that at this point Turnmills did not have open all the rooms that it would in later years.  I was also a bit shocked  by the music being played.  I had been led to believe that Trade was all about techno.  I didn't realise that the music got progressivley harder as the night went on.

DJs on the night were Malcolm Duffy, Smokin Jo, Daz Saund, Trevor Rockcliffe and Tall Paul.

Records I remember being played that night:

  • Micheal Jackson - Black or White (house mix)
  • Micheal Jackson - Remember the time (house mix)
  • Kym Simms - too blind to see it.
  • Ce Ce Penniston - we got a love thang
  • Robert Owens - Ill be your friend
  • Gat Decors - passion
  • Transformer 2 - pacific symphony
  • Toxic 2 - rave generator
  • phenomena - who is elvis
  • the hypnotist - house is house
  • the bouncer - your names not down - some backwards type mix
  • hyper go go - high
  • the hippodrome - techno mix
  • Obviously loads of records I had never heard before.
  • Ramirez - Hablando
  • DJPC - Insomniakz (i come back) - classic forgotten tune.
I was also a bit surprised by the house and garage being played for the first few housr.  For some reason i had thought it would all be techno.  im glad it wasnt all techno though as the more funky music was a good build up to the hard stuff that came later.

The crowd was very friendly.  People would share their water and poppers and there was no attitude.  Highlights included when Malcolm played Deeper Love.  People were literally throwing water over themselves during the beatless breakdown (which seemed to go on for ages) they were so excited.

I also remember being really surprised when Malcolm Duffy played a cool house mix of Michaels Jacksons Back or White and Smokin Jo played a house mix of Michael Jacksons Remember the time.  I was never really that into Michael Jackson, but felt that these mixes really added to the funky build up vibe.

Smokin Jos set was very cool.  Lots of Italio house, tough US House and progressive and techno.  Ramirez Hablando and Toxic 2s Rave Generator stood out for me.

Next Came Daz Saund who pushed it up a notch with his tough techno.  I remember when Trevor Rockcliffe joined him in the DJ booth.  He showed Trevor a record cover with a picture of Elvis on it.  I assumed it was going to be an Elvis remix, so was a bit iffy about what it would sound like.  I was proved wrong when the amazing ' Who is Elvis' came out the speakers.

When Trevor Rockcliffe came on the atmosphere went through the roof with his twisted techno and weird squelchy noises.  It was at this point that I realised that no previous clubbing experiance could match what was happening at Turnmills at 10am on a Sunday morning.

I spent most of the night dancing on the steps leading down to the dancefloor in front of the DJ booth.  Random moment was dancing with Linda Lussadi!  Totally unexpected.  Well when I say danced with her, I mean she was dancing on the step in front of me.

I also remember DJ Malcolm finishing his set and going straight onto the dance floor and fully raving to Smokin Jos set.

At this point I had no idea who the DJs were.  Following this night my 'obsession' with the music and DJs connected with Trade began.  Theres  a bit of a myth that some people believe that your first proper nights clubbing is what you are always chasing.  For me, although the first night was amazing and eye opening.  There were many more just as good, if not better nights to come.


TBContinued... With my second night at Trade.



Happy New Year to everyone.  As a special treat to you all I am posting a link to another 8 part mix that Andy Farley has done as a tribute to Trade.

As with the previous 8 part tribute mix the mixes represent a whole night down Trade.  The first couple of mixes are my favourites as they represent that tough house sound of Trade that often gets forgotten about.

The download links are on another blog.  Scroll down for the separate mix links and track listings.

I have been very lazy on the blog this week.  This due to working very long hours and feeling tired.  I'm still behind in editing the DJ Glenn miller interview.  It will be up next week.

Also, just to let you know I have also had an interview back from Graeme Park - The Hacienda legend!!!

Anyway to tide you over here's a mix by Alan Thompson live at Trade in 1998.  Followed by some video mixes I found on Youtube.

Have a great Saturday.

I have a real treat today. A rare live mix from Steve Thomas on a Trade tour sometime in the mid to late 90s.

Keep watching the blog as there are loads more Trade goodies to come.

Keep Rocking.




Well  its been  a very busy week at work.  Changing offices,  so a bit snowed under.  Theres going to be a few days delay in posting up part 3 of the DJ Glenn Miller interview.

To keep you going though here's a mix of his from the mid 90s.  Loads of cool true hard house tunes from the mid 90s, when hard house was at its best.

Many thanks to Brian for another gem.  I owe you.  For those of you that don't know, Brian is the source of many of the Trade era mixes on this blog.  Many more to come.

Brian supplied the Alan Thompson Trade mix posted the other week.  One of the most popular and downloaded mixes on the blog so far.

Enjoy.

Here is a live set from Trade done by DJ Glenn Miller on June 2, 1996.



Found the above on the Tony de Vit website.  The two part mix totally captures that happy/hard/trancey sound of Trade from the mid 90s.

Watch out for the 'Male stripper' remix by Quicksilver.


Enjoy.



Here's a real bit of House history.  A live set from Trade 1991.  I think its either by Daz Saund or Trevor Rockcliffe - not sure which one.

For those who never got to Trade in its early days here is a glimpse of its early Hardcore roots.

This mix is 20 years old.  That's making me feel very old!

Anyway enjoy the mix.  Thanks to Brian again for another amazing set.

As promised here is a very special treat to celebrate 10000 views on this blog.  Its a 28 mix dedicated to all things Trade.  Can you believe someone did such a long mix like this?

The mis sort of bypasses the Alan Thompson and Malcolm Duffy side of things, going straight into Steven Thomas territory.

Anyway just click on the link and download.

Enjoy and once again thanks to everyone who has looked at the site and given feedback and positive words.

Tracklisting is in the Trade page on the left.

Pete Wardman Trade Tour 2000.

Pete Wardman mixes are pretty hard to come by.  I don't have much information about this mix.  All I know is that it from one the tours in late 90s / 2000.  Once again thanks to Brian.

The second half of the mix has some of my favourite trance tunes on it.  Including the classic Cafe del Mar remix.

Enjoy.

Trade 12th Birthday Station to Station Commemorative CD - E J Doubell.

Just found these links on Facebook.  I seem to remember that they were given out in 2002 at the 12th Birthday.  This was also the night night that Trade was on a weekly basis.

I haven't listened to these CDs for a while.  But I seem to remember that that E J Doubell mixed them live at a prior Tony De Vit memorial night at Trade.  One CD is mainly TDV productions and remixes and the other TDV favourites.  Mainly the mid 90s NU Energy tracks (very Blu Peter sounding).

Thanks to London Fox for posting these on Facebook.
Mixes by E J Doubell are virtually non existent.  Please get in touch if you have any.

Lawrence Malice interview.

Here is a fab interview with the one and only Lawrence Malice.  For those that don't know he was the creator and (still is) promoter of Trade.  In the early days of Trade he co-promoted Trade with Tim Stabler.

This interview was done just before the Last Dance at Turnmills.  So makes interesting listening.

I couldn't have a Trade week without posting some Tony De Vit mixes.  Here's one live from Trade in 1994.  Thanks once again to Brian for this mix.



Trade mix from 1992.

If you have noticed anything from this blog.  It will be my love for Trade.  For me (as well as many other people) there has never been a club like it.  The music was totally out of this world and Turnmills was amazing.  No other club has ever come near it.


Anyway, to start this Trade week here is a rare live mix from 1992.  Hope you enjoy it.  This mix brings back so many memories.

Another favourite with Rosco. A real Detroit classic. Many people think of Trade as being all about Hard House. In the early days of Daz and Trev they played a lot of Detroit Techno.

Happy times.

DJ Rosco Interview Part 2.





Which were your favorite clubs to go for fun?

Trade, Gatecrasher, Sundissential and Rise & Trash at the Leadmill, Sheffield.

To tell the truth nothing has really compared to Trade. The intensity of the place, the masculinity and the energy of the Trade sound and the people made it the best dance floor I’ve ever experienced or played to.

In some ways Trade felt like the last party on earth. They way it would keep on going at full speed right into the afternoon and how everyone, including the DJ’s, gave it their all. I think people overlook this and have forgotten about the challenges that the early Trade babies went through to give us the hedonistic playground that we all enjoy. I guess this might be the reason why gay club land is so disposable these days as no one has had to work to earn it and no one really cares.

One theory I have is that the AIDS scenario in the late 80’s and early 90’s pressurized and distorted the gay scene’s creative output, which I feel had a part to play in how we got to the harder, powerful, darker sounds that hear in Trade. The whole atmosphere of the disease was dark and the boundaries that the public raised in fear of it created a shadow. The freedom that people felt when being able to mix together without worry in a club without prejudice was rare. Limits were being pushed as people wanted to go out with the biggest bang possible. They simply didn’t care about tomorrow, which was reflected in the music.

Everyone had a cumulative input in having the fiercest, hardest, fastest, most intense party on earth. If there was ever a time for living for the moment it was Trade and Trade will always stand for this in my eyes.

The people who go out on the gay scene now as they are getting severely short-changed in comparison. Have you been to Vauxhall recently? The corporations have severely taken over. The music is soulless and it sounds like a musical version of painting by numbers – zero tracks stand out.

The décor is cheap, the sound systems sound worse than ever and the vibe is so flat and mundane. Overall it’s all become a one-dimensional money making venture. Something needs to change.


Worst club ever played at?

I was on a tour in Japan with DJ Ziad (who also used to be a Trade resident) and went to an after hours club in Fukuoka after playing at Club OD as we were still up for a party after playing together for 6hrs.

We got in and we were the only Western people in there and the atmosphere was awful, the dance floor was empty and people were sitting around the sides of the room just watching this guy play terrible music!

It was 8am and almost everyone was in a separate room where the music wasn’t playing. After another 30 mins of very bad music on what sounded like a very high pitched ear bleeding system, Ziad and I took the initiative and took over the decks. The DJ before was off his nut and had the treble on full throughout the whole of his set! We quickly rectified this did a back to back set for a couple of hours and got people dancing! I guess this is what you could call a resurrection set!


How did you become a DJ? How did the Trade residency come about?

My first love of music came from my Dad’s records. He was resident DJ at the Playboy Club in London in the 70’s and I used to listen to his soul and disco albums from an early age. He had a very good collection!

Back in the 90’s you couldn’t get the records that you heard in clubs on any other format than vinyl, apart from on CD compilations (which only had a selection of what I wanted) so when I was 14 I saved up my pocket money, washed cars and then bought decks and purchased the vinyl.

After messing around for a couple of years I started making tapes for my friends, which went down very well. One of the got me a gig at Sundissential and several clubs up north. then I was a flyer boy for Trade in Ibiza when I was 18 and I gave a tape to the glorious Laurence Malice who gave me my first gig for Trade in Ireland. I tore the roof off the place and Laurence offered me the residency straight after.

Rosco Interview part 1.

This month Trade (The Mothership) celebrates being 21 years young. Therefore pretty much most of this month has been dedicated to all things Trade.

The highlight for me has been getting this amazing interview from Rosco. He has been a Trade resident for about ten years now.

Anyway I hope you enjoy the interview and the rest of this Trade month.

The videos being posted will be from Roscos favourite tunes list.



Rosco Blog Questions Part 1.
Which clubs did you play at?

I was resident at:

Trade London,
Trade Paris,
Trade Ibiza,
Trade LA,
Manumission,
Space.

And I played the following:

Trade Ireland,
The Gallery at Turnmills,
Sundissential,
Godskitchen,
Club OD Japan
…plus many others.

(I didn’t have a weekend off for over four years when I was in the thick of it!)

Do you still play out now? if so where?

Yes. Only at Trade.

What is the Trade sound to you?
The Trade sound has progressed from House, Techno and Belgian New Beat through Tribal, Trance and Hard House with a certain fierceness, masculinity and sexuality throughout.
Every DJ played their tracks with a spirit and soul that was unequalled. The musical progression of the night caused a blending of the genres as the BPM’s increased through their sets. The night always acclimatized to a peak, which was conquered elegantly by the next DJ. For me the Trade sound has a very no nonsense rhetoric which always had an attitude.
There has always been a techno influence as Trade originally started as a techno club, which I think is one of the clubs greatest traits as techno is a constantly progressive universal limitless genre, which can be adapted and mutated to fit any dance floor, as it was at Trade throughout the duration.
The immaculately put together line up by Laurence Malice made a very well thought out progression in the music from start to finish, which in turn caused a massive blending of the genres. I would never say that Trade was a hard house club as it’s not. Every night there were many styles being played, from house to techno and tribal to trance. All the Trade compilations reinforce this as there was always different styles of music on each one; Malcolm blending tough underground US house and tribal, Steve Thomas beautifully combining techno and hard house and Tony De Vit who took it to another level.
Tony did have a huge impact on the Trade sound, which we have to give serious credit to. I find some of his tracks had a classical music element to it, which I love. Examples of this are the highly touching ‘The Dawn’ and his gripping remix of ‘Age Of Love’ which in my mind seems parallel to Amadeus Mozart’s ‘Requiem’ as it was the last movement that Mozart composed before his life ended early than expected - just like Tony’s.
The earlier housier part of the Trade sound often get’s overlooked. The sets that Malcolm, The Sharp Boys and Smokin Jo played were seriously sexual and soulful yet pumping. I would like to put this side of the Trade sound back on the map as it deserves much more attention.
