A name I came up with to group together three of my oldest friends who will all be travelling over from Chichester on Saturday to very kindly DJ at my birthday party ❤️
@hatmanlon I've probably known for the longest. A walking encyclopedia of the late 80s Rare Groove / Jazz Dance scene, with exceptional taste and an extremely lean collection.
Matt was the first person I knew to find (and actually discover for himself, if I'm not mistaken) the mythical "Moody" by The Gentle Rain in the early to mid 90s. We would travel all over the South Coast early Sunday mornings, hitting up as many carboot sales as we had time for, fueled by, sometimes absolutely stonking, whisky or vodka induced hangovers 🥴
I was with Matt when he bought a handful of killer Library LPs, including "The Big Beat" and "Afro Rock" (if my memory serves me well - Matt?) for 50p each at a country booty in the middle of nowhere. Can still see them sat there on the grass lent up against the leg of a wobbly wallpapering table! Same day another digging friend of ours, Nic, found a mint-in-box Soundburger for a fiver at the next bootsale we went to. Those were the days! 😃
@oldecompany Mike P should have been entering the DMCs in his early 20s, and probably whatever the equivalent skate comp was at that time. Supremely talented on the cuts and juggles and a very big influence on me when I started DJing. No idea what he's gonna bring along on Saturday but if you're a fan of the Boot Camp Clik, Wu, DOOM, Fat Beats era indi joints, and everything in between, you won't be disappointed 🔪🔊🎶
Last but not least @bobby_cartell. I couldn't tell you how many times I've DJ'd with him over the years! We also had a very good run at the sunday afternoon bootys together, stretching across many seasons. Was with him when he found a SEALED original "Cosmic Vortex" at Chi Market car boot for 50p! 😱 Was obviously very jealous about that one! 😬

Bobby and myself also pillaged, what was hands down, the best collection I've ever had the opportunity to dig through. A seller from the same bootsale, who frequently had a couple of boxes of records, turned up one day with some amazing Hip Hop and Funk (I pulled Godfather Don "Hazardous", still in shrink wrap with poster for £2, amongst many others) and told us he'd just bought a lock up full of the same! He invited us over to go through it, which we did on numerous occasions - everytime coming home with piled of incredible finds! Really was unbelievable and probably a once in a lifetime experience around these parts! So expect a very high standard of music from Mr Martell too! 🥳
