Positive education

...not only a Slam-classic, but also the name of an Antwerp techno-night. I don't have a clue what the line-up looked like that night, but 1 thing's for sure: Steve Cop played a tremendous set.

Another certainty: you can down it over here :)

Just for the record:

the scene

Not a re-post this time, instead some new Steve Cop stuff.
The Scene was a pure techno-club and opened its doors in '98. Resident-dj's Zzino and Steve Cop invited guests such as Jeff Mills, Adam Beyer, Ian Pooley, Mike Dearborn ... in a monastery near Oudenaarde. Even though the club looked nice, the line ups were great and the soundsystem blew you away the place was shut down after a few months due to a lack of visitors.
Would this club still be open if it were in Ghent, Antwerp or Brussels?

h2o

One of my top-5 favourite clubs ever is H2o in Pecq, i got to know it thanks to the At The Villa/Le Café-nights in '96 (fridays).

The club has always been booming, and for a while they even had 3 rooms running.
Downstairs played Vince and Johan, upstairs Laurent Warrin, and in the techno-room you could listen to some techno with a.o. Steve Cop.
After a make-over the techno room has disappeared (and to be honest the genre wasn't all that popular in the club in those days).

Nowadays the only original resident left is Johan, he still rocks his "houzy" white-room. After all those years the club can still be considered as an example to others with its innovating line-ups, surprising concepts and personal approach. Always a pleasure to be there!

copmozz

As promised here's another Steve Cop goodie, recorded at a Kozzmozz party in '96. "K" is one of the leading techno-events in Belgium and has certainly earned its spot in our clubbing history.

It all started in '95 on a jampacked boat. Due to the succes of the parties changes had to be made and a bigger venue was found: ICC. Later on the concept moved to the Kuipke and nowadays their homebase is at Vooruit (same location as 10daysOff).
Lots of venue-changes but still in Ghent after all those years ... except for some excursions to Brussels, Holland and even Ibiza.

Cop again

As promised here's another Cop set, recorded at Silo a little further back in time(that's right, they had a vivid techno-program in those days ... and luckily this hasn't changed if you see who's playing nowadays).

Steve Cop, Silo 11.11.95.

steve cop

A few weeks ago a friend of Steve Cop mailed me to see if i wanted to rip some of his tapes ... didn't take me long to decide :)

In the early nineties Steve did a few productions for the R&S-label as Sonic Solution (ao Beat time, and Ravesignal II together with CJ Bolland) but most of you probably know him as a dj.
A few of his residencies: H2o, Café d'Anvers and Silo (Loop-parties).
I'll try and share some of this stuff with you in the next few weeks.
The links will also appear on a new blog, dedicated to Steve only, in order to keep this collection alive. (Steve's friend runs his new blog over here).

Here's an apetizer on what's coming:

re-post

New stuff coming up, but first i'll try and keep a few people happy by reposting some sets that have been offline for a while, don't forget to read the original posts for some side info ;)

good cop, bad cop

Good cop: Steve Cop
Underneath you'll find a 90 minute mix Steve did at Fuse in 1994. It was online some time ago (before i started up this blog), but it seems like a lot of people missed it at the time, so here's the repost. As a part of the Antwerp-scene Steve played alongside the world's best dj's, mainly thanks to his residency at Café d'Anvers. Nowadays he's become a familyman and still does some dj'ing every now and then (but not often).

The mix sets of in a housy mood with Carl Craig's remix of Tori Amos' God, from there on it slowly builds up to end in techno-mayhem.

By demand i also did a repost of the Mo&Benoelie-set at Fuse, you can read the original post over here.
