Those were the days, by anbesivam1 on Nov 13, 2012 13:59:57 GMT 1, Hell yeah! The QR codes work a treat even from the tiny photos! Listening to the Cream mix now via your soundcloud link....major props idiom!! Cream - Ah, those were the days... ;D
Legend
We were recently commissioned to do a big canvas to celebrate someone's clubbing history. An interesting commission and no doubt about it. Our in-depth quizzing of them revealed that they felt they were getting a little long in the tooth for the kind of shenanigans they used to regularly engage in when they were younger and wanted a little something to commemorate the fact that all those weekends spent wasted weren't in fact wasted weekends. Considering what we were trying to convey there were plenty of false starts and aborted designs and I feared this one would languish in development hell until we could come up with something suitable. After percolating in my brain for long enough a quote from comedian Marcus Brigstocke came to mind that would lay the foundations for the design: โIf Pac-Man had affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in dark rooms, munching pills and listening to repetitive electronic music.โ We were finally off and running. We then had to come up with some way of celebrating the specific clubs that our commissioner used to frequent. We've used QR codes before and with the proliferation of smartphones we thought they'd be perfect for our needs. The codes link to classic mixes from the clubs involved and I had to go to a great deal of trouble to find a cassette to digitise from his earliest clubbing days way back in 92. Cheers id-iom

Hahaa...I used to DJ at Turnmills and Ministry back in Uni days. Loved the Renaissance house scene...my record collection and 1210s still occupy 50% of my living space!
I can throw down shapes with the best of 'em!
Nation eh, it was a dream of mine to DJ there...but sadly never got the opportunity...one of the best sets I have heard was by PVD at Nation for Cream.

PVD and Oaky in the courtyard, those really were the days. Turnmills was a great club too. The Gallery's not the same at MOS.
