Big Big Love - House & Techno classics from Dubai

We turn back the clock to 2005 where Nightdrive had just been released, everyone was djing from their laptops and horse tranquilisers were just kicking in. This was minimal techno and everything the surrounded it. Expect minimal beats, strange noises and deep bass rumbles. Where's the afters?!?!?!

Celebrate RID's 4th birthday with an hour of ESSENTIAL classics. Tunes from Fragma, FPI Project, Congress, Armand van Helden and many many more!!

This is a special, very long and extended recording of Simon's old night, Script back at The Deaf Institute, Manchester, UK in Feb 13. On the decks were Greenfly, Tosh, Carl, Vinyl Richie and Simon. Enjoy!!!

Simon cranks up the volume and the bpm with an hour of techno bangers left from the previous Hardgroove gigs. Shout outs to Dernaj for a banger of a F2F set on May 16th. When's the next one!?!?!?

A new free zone opens in the city, entirely devoted to the art of the BANGER. Hear the first set courtesy of Simon's techno and bass collection!!

The traffic may be very less, but the rave spirit LIVES ON!! Simon mixes part2 of Welcome To Hessa with an eclectic mix of house, trance, breakbeat and bassline tunes. Parties are still going ahead in the city and we hope to see you all on a dancefloor or in the desert SOOOOOOOOONNN!!! As always, we continue!!

Simon channels his inner RID with some selections from the RID resident event ESSENTIAL. Tracks from Cosmos, Spektrum, Junior Jack, Nic Fanciulli, Josh Wink, Todd Terry and many many more. RID will be back on a dancefloor near you soooooooooooon!!!

Dubai is clearing out but thankfully the missile attacks are less frequent. Simon's coping mechanism of listening to loud music and drinking feed's into another Lockdown Live for your listening pleasure, The Eid holidays start on Thursday and hopefully Trump, Hegseth and Graham lose interest or something similar. Hopefully that then means the raving can re-commence. Well, either that or World War...

Hard times in Dubai calls for club music therapy!! Join Simon for a 3 hour Twitch livestream with shout outs aplenty!!

While utter madness is going on outside, Simon decides to drown out the interceptions with 90 minutes of house bangers!!!

Do you remember watching Pimp My Ride when Missy Elliot was showing off her custom Hummer with the custom soundsystem to play her new cut on the way back from the studio?? The best places to hear a banger is on a great dancefloor, at sunset strip in Ibiza and in my car!! You really can't beat it. Simon pulls together enough UK Hardcore, Jungle and DnB bangers to get you from SZR past Arabian Ranch...

LFunk rounds off RID's best year yet with a fine fine selection of house bangers with a BIG rave vibe! Thanks to everyone who has supported us durinng 2025. Thanks to all the RID legends who came to our parties. It means ALOT!! See you for more raving an misbehaving in 2026 WEEEEE CONTINUE!!!!!!

We’re taking Halloween back to the good bit: friends, freedom, and bangers in the wild. RID’s Fancy Dress Halloween Party lands Fri 1 Nov and the promo mix, Return To Bangersville sets the tone. RID resident LFunk brings 40+ minutes of desert-tested grooves, 90s/00s energy, and a few left-turns for the heads. Dress to express (or distress), bring your crew, and leave the phone drama at home. No ph...

For people of a certain age, the Essential Selection on BBC Radio 1 was the start to their weekend. Headed up by Pete Tong, it showcased the best tunes around at the time, had a show from Cafe Mambo and had various djs on every week. I remember older people telling us it wasnt as good as it used to be, but we loved it. Simon has trawled through the tracklistings of all of them (ChatGPT wouldnt do...
