Remember The First Time?

Remember The First Time? Meets...Damian Harris. Damian is the Creative Director of Skint Records and a recording artist who goes by the alter-ego of 'Midfield General'. Founded in 1995, Skint was the home of Fat Boy Slim, X-Press 2, FC Kahuna and Lo Fidelity Allstars. It is most famously known for being a leader of the Big Beat scene during the '90s. Paul sat down for a conversation with Damian about the 25th anniversary of Skint Records, the Big Beat scene during that period and Big Beat Boutique, the infamous club night held at the Brighton Concorde. The conversation also covers the highs and lows of running a label, what drew him back to the label after a period of absence away, plus the legacy of Big Beat and it's impact on electronic music.

The difficult second album, it's a cliché of the music industry, everything's just a rehash of a band's debut work, only the ideas aren't as inventive, the sound not as unique. It's episode 6 of Remember The First Time and we're exploring Massive Attack's second album, Protection. One thing we can definitely say is that it's far from difficult! Paul, Mark and Charlotte discuss a band exploring their sound and reinventing who they are sonically and artistically. Plus Jessica Joy (officially a friend of the Podcast now) returns to discuss her time working in record shops and DJing in Bristol during the 90's, as well as helping Jungle legends get to grips with 45rpm! Also, after Mark's enthusiasm for the quiz in the last episode, Charlotte brings her own unique questions to this month's quizzy business, and we decide which track from Protection goes on the playlist! Finally, where does the album rank in the Remember The First Time chart? You'll have to listen obviously, we're not going to tell you here, we're too sly! ***Please take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen to this show.
