Yesterday I did my first Insta live 😳. Check at @memoryboxparties. And let's just say Alan Partridge is safe in his job ☺️. But this is a tough time for LOVERS OF SMALL MUSIC VENUES and the surrounding scene so I will be doing more lives soon and I'd love it if you would take time to watch and help spread the word. 🙏 xx https://www.instagram.com/p/CFwgbGNgs26/?igshid=1dkwochz9hbdu

Memory Box #3 was on 6 July 2013 @Corsica Studios London. Tom Middleton played a History of the Roland TR808 set and Robin Ball played house & techno classics 1988 - 1992. Both mixes were recorded live - mixcloud.com/MemoryBox (Scroll to the bottom of the page). #memoryboxstory #tommiddleton #djrobinball #roland808 #memoryboxparties #corsicastudios (at Corsica Studios) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFKJ3oSF1yy/?igshid=1qdhwj4ls2ci3

Memory Box #2 was on 30 March 2013 @ our spiritual home @corsicastudios. Our initial objective was to musically cover moments in time from the previous 35+ years of electronic dance music. We kicked off with “The Acid House years” It was a cracker of a party and a big step in deciding how we’d roll for the next few years.

The 1st Memory Box party ever was on 26 Jan 2013 at the @starofkings, Kings Cross, London,. Playing classic electronic music from 1988 to 1998 with Memory Box creator @djrobinball playing all night for his big birthday party. This was the start of something special. ❤️ to all who came. Time to reflect before the next chapter of #memoryoxparties. - - - #memoryboxstory #robinball https://www.instagram.com/p/CEFKDqRnZT5/?igshid=1p6y8h41t2dz3

A bold plan to eliminate distancing at events that also encourages Covid-19 tests and the use of the NHSX tracing app. Thoughts? - - #saveourscene https://www.instagram.com/p/CCn64aZH5wG/?igshid=zw6c5q8iqj1b

The year 1993 kicks off my DJ mix tape revivals. I know young fresh Robin who made these mixes would have very much appreciated you taking the time to listen. He took making mix tapes very seriously 😊. I’ve chosen these 3 mixes for quality. Although they are pretty different in style they are all tied together by a squelchy acid vibe. The 1st one I’ve uploaded is “A Touch of Acid” which of the 3 shows the most influences on what I do today at @memoryboxparty. It’s acid, techno and a little of what at the time was called Progressive House. It’s up on my Soundcloud. Link in bio. The other 2 mixes will follow so keep em peeled 👀.

So this has been quite a strange feeling for me. I only feel like I am properly getting going now in my music career. I guess I’m what you call a late bloomer 🙂. Since the early 90’s though I have had an addiction to listening and buying new electronic music to play in my DJ sets. I am not really one for looking back unless for a particular project but now feels like the right time to go back through my dj mix tapes. It seems like 1993 was when I started becoming a fully formed DJ and started to find my style so I'm going to upload some mixes I did from 93 through to 97. This is not going to be about obvious classics, maybe more about hearing some prototypes or changes in the music and looking back at someone honing their craft in the 90’s. The reason this MIGHT be interesting for you is because although the mixes will be mainly house and techno, I have never liked to stick to one style within those genres. For example I will be posting up 3 mixes from 1993: One tough deep acid house, another quite euphoric techno and the other a fast and banging acid set with what is maybe even some early trance. I am pleasantly surprised so far but there is a chance those three will also be the last mixes I think are worth it and this will all be over 🙂. More soon.
