Rave To The Grave Show & Tony's Big Tunes Tony Oldskool

Back in September 1993, there was a free compilation cassette tape which came along with M8 Magazine called The Scottish Dance Awards.

The tape featured tracks from the best Scottish dance bands at the time from the likes of M.R.X, The Rhythmic State, The Shamen and so on.

The pick of the bunch was Q-Tex - Digital Bells, another master piece from that man Scott Brown, which of course samples the famous track "Tubular Bells" by Mike Oldfield, famously used in the horror movie The Exorcist.

Sadly, Digital Bells never seen the light of day, it was only ever featured on the cassette tape and the story goes along the lines of Scott Brown accidentally recorded over the original DAT tape, so was never released.

Using the powers of SM, I reached out to see if anyone had this tape and lo & behold, one of my friends, Davie Niven, had a prime working tape, some man Davie.

I only ever had a crappy 128k MP3, so the plan was to get a good WAV to use on my Podcast / Dj sets.

After listening to the track a good few times, after I had tweaked it a bit on Ableton, I thought I would have a go at doing my own version / remake.

So here it is, the only thing I've sampled from the tape is the bells riff, which is genius from Scott Brown, the rest I have re-created from scratch and threw in a couple of lines from the movie.

Hopefully, I've done it some justice, enjoy.

Tony Oldskool.

Oi Oi folks, a wee mix to round off 2023 & all the best to each & every one of you for 2024.

Huge thanks to everyone who has supported me over 2023 & beyond, see you all in 2024.
