Graeme Park 1992.03.28 @ Haçienda, Manchester

Most Haçienda heads have their favourite periods that they recall as their bestera that they had in the back in the day.  Nude nights in 89, Hot nights in 87 or the epic vocal house nights in 93-94... Obviously they were dependant on the years that people danced away the night!  For me it was definately late 1991!  Why? Well more about that when I add my favourite set....  For now I am going to take us to March 1992.   March, April and May 92, in my opinion saw Graeme Park probably at his best in style, choice of music, he was superb, defining, influencial and his mixing was epic.... over the next six weeks you could see how he developed the dancefloor, used the tracks to great effect and kept the Haçienda rammed to the hilt.    It was around this time that by disecting his mixing, his use of the break, booming baselines and piano I learnt to mix, really mix and this is one of those sets that inspired me and my choice of music.....

Tom Wainwright 1994.04.30 @ Haçienda, Manchester

A new share from the Haçienda in 1994 for you to enjoy.  Tom Wainwright doing what he does best once again.  definately not given as much exposure as his counter parts, Graeme Park, Jon da Silva and Mike Pickering, however I reckon he headlined pretty regularly around 1994 and 1995 focusing on the regular Haçienda Vocal US House and garage sound, yet he definately made the place his own. One of my most rated DJ's for sure.

Graeme Park 1993.10.02 @ Haçienda Manchester Tape X

Another Internet exclusive for BLOG51.  1993 was a volatile time in the Haçienda, still rammed to the hilt, a heady dance floor atmosphere swaying with students and designer clad clubbers, but there was an edge to the place, especially the door, once in though it was a different matter - our space.  Other clubs had opened in Manchester, Home and the Paradise factory offering alternative clubbing experiences but for us there was still only one venue.... the Haçienda and this tape shows why.  Classic vocal and house cuts dominated the sound system and kept it our soul! focus... superb

Graeme Park 1991.10.21 @ Haçienda, Manchester

I was listening to this the other day and thought then that it needed posting.  I must have mentioned before that 91 was for me one of the best years for music at the Haçienda.  Big baselines, Garage House forging it's own direction and excellent production from the likes of Knuckles, Morales and Humphries.  Long serving DJ's who dominated their field, knowing their floor to use that experieice to produce some of the best records of the time.  Tracks that must have influenced parky to inspire him to then remix some of the best records of the era... 

I think this is the souindtrack of my birthday weekend that year. possibly mislabelled by a day but I am not goning to get hung up about that.   Enjoy....

Graeme Park 1994.10.28 @ Haçienda Night, Cream Liverpool

Graeme Park's set from the Haçienda Night at Cream Liverpool was one of the best I have heard from 1994.  Great vocals and mixing soon established him as a firm favourite in Liverpool's superclub.  The club attracted revellers from all over the North West and beyond with an excellent door policy, great atmosphere, die hard clubbers and a top DJ bills such as the one demonstrated on this night.  The Haçienda DJ's rocked the house showing just how far reaching the influence was of this hallowed venue....  Manchester in the area.
