Hi,

My name’s dj wuggs and I was what was known as a raver in Glasgow in the late 1980′s and early 1990′s.  I then turned my hand to a bit of dj’ing when I thought there was better music out there than I could hear in the clubs.  My friends and I organised a few illegal raves and a few club nights in Glasgow under the short lived “europort” banner.

All in all we didn’t conquer the world but we did our little bit in the story of the Glasgow club scene.

I’ve been out of music for many years and my vinyl collection’s been gathering dust in the garage.  But recently I discovered that youtube had a fantastic archive of tunes from that period.  This inspired me to start…

…more for my own listening benefit than anything else, and it really got me to thinking about the fantastic music that was out there at that time.

I’ve had a look about online, and there really isn’t that much out there documenting those days.  At the time we were just mucking about and having a good time, but later the scene grew into something truly world class.  Hence perhaps the need for this blog – an archaeological study of the Glasgow techno scene .  My aim over the next few weeks and months is to record what I did, when I did it and what I was listening to at the time!

Hope you enjoy…

The Orb’s DJ Boydie, with a mix of late 90 early 91, lots of Belgium and French Techno a couple of older classics, and some UK House.

I’m afraid I’ve been neglecting this blog recently, as I’ve been getting back into DJing and the delights of digital mixing…. I was asked to do an Acid Mix for PURE Radio in Rotterdam, which was broadcast on Friday 12 April 2013.  Click on the logo for the link to PURE Radio….
