DJ Zinc has created a clever new mix series titled “Trust Me I Was There”, where he selects certain songs from a particular year that were the “heavy hitters” of the time. However, the genius part of the concept is that, it’s also based on where he physically heard those tracks as well. This mix focuses on the years of 1986-87 in which he writes “In 86 and 87 I was still at school, so can’t be certain which tracks were big in the clubs – but thanks to the London pirate radio scene I was able to hear what I reckon was pretty much the same music in my own home. This was an era before mobile phones, before the internet – I’d be stuck to the radio all night long scanning the pirates with a pen and pad waiting for the presenter to say the name of any track to add to my list of tracks to buy (I say buy – it took me a few years to finally get em cos I was skint, and some of em only recently – thank god for discogs and a good memory!!)” You can download the mix below.
