Had a nice chat with DJ Mike C(osford) the other day, which was great as we hadn't spoken for some time. He has been out of the scene since doing youth work and then counselling. Anyway he has got the taste for DJing once again and I can't wait to add him to a billing on a future Fantazia.
For those that don't know the name, Mike played an important role in many of the early Fantazia albums including compiling the First Taste album as well as appearing on Club Classics 1, 3, House Collection 1, 6. He also played the love lounge at many of our 1992 parties. Lesser known is that Mike was a for runner in the rave scene setting up Incantation in 1990 doing illegal and legal ravfes around the SW, with many early performance from a young and relatively unknown DJ Sasha. Talking of which he said they might be able to find some long lost recordings from those nights, which would be a blast for such early events. Lets keep out figures crossed.
Welcome back Mike, always a pleasure.....
Founded 1991, Fantazia held the largest ever raves, during 91-93, culminating in One Step Beyond (30k). Other parties include the Big Bang@SECC, Summertime, Bournemouth (as seen ITN News). Fantazia also organised the rave on Inspector Morse and has the largest amount of rave footage in the UK. We later went on to launch the massive selling House Collection & Club Classics series of compilations.
