Soundz fm 94.3.... i miss that station...

[genocide]

Obvious choices are Dream, Kool, Eruption and with good reason

[johnyboy]

well for all you original hardkore london listeners touchdown,pulse,kool,weekend rush,don,eruption,dream,the list goes on and on but this is where it started in the early 90s

[elite]

touchdown, defection, kool and trance when i was knee high to a grasshopper

[shivar]

Original Flex 103.6 fm : '99 onwards :)

[johnyboy]

yeah i was only a whippersnapper myself back in the early 90s but i was still always locked to the pirates from quite a young age..f**k i was only 15 back in 91 when i was locked into touchdown 94.1fm,still got the tapes in my loft recorded from that year........

[johnyboy]

what you talkin about shivar original flex 103.6fm crew 99 onwards.......what about the original original original flex fm 103.6fm crew from a lot earlier than 99.........flex fm crew from post 99 crew the originators not the impersonators....l big up all the original original original flex fm crew dj easy d for instance etc etc

[shivar]

Im talking bout orginal. not RAW

[johnyboy]

raw flex isnt associated with the original flex in anyway in my opinion.....flex fm is originally........from the original old skool hardkore/ jungle era........imo

[shivar]

wel i used to listen from '99 days so i wrote '99

[johnyboy]

ok bro i see where your commin from...you used to listen to them in 99..... well i used to listen back in the jungle days way back then......that was all i was sayin.....

[joe punter]

green apple, don and touchdown...probably the stations that got it all started

[Lady Jen]

Yes........ For me its got to be the mighty 103.6 Flex Fm Back in the good old day's!!
Which is Nuffin 2 do with Raw Flex either :)

There's always wicked stations, but *few* for me that become worthy of legendary....

From the first generation, the likes of Kiss, LWR, DBC, Horizon and Solar are the originators of the tower block stations.

Then its gotta be the likes of Fantasy, Friends, Sunrise, and the mighty Centreforce that had that pivotal period where house and techno and early hardcore emerged.... the Summer of Love period.

For hardcore, then Weekend Rush, Kool (big respects still in bizniz!), Eruption, Pulse, Rude and Ruud, and although I'm biased with this.... for me Don Don and er, Don!!!

Later, we've had Dream for the happy side, and the first crop of decent underground garage stations - Girls, London Underground, Freek and Dejavu.

The newest emerging legendary's for me are Passion and Shine...

Not forgetting the reggae pirates from the 90's and today too... actually they are the real legends - more so than the many house, garage or rave stations: Station FM (big up Keithly, long time trooper!!), Powerjam, Climax, Irie FM, Vibes 93.8, Lightning.....

On the subject of Flex. The original Flex was the 94 crew. Flex started up in the summer of 94, following Don's shutdown... shout out to the Dave (Easy D), the MC OC, and Nikki D!!

[Chantelle]

It was all about FREEK FM and Mission Fm * i loved heartless crew * lol still do lol..... Deja vu and Rinse fm

Totally agreed but it is good to see that pirate did realise this future about 4 years ago when Flex where the first to live stream on the net, now most pirates are doing it and living the best of both worlds for the time being.

What about MEDINA RADIO 102.2FM from Harlesden (about 1989ish)?

The most professional sounding shows ever, just like a commercial station but with proper music and decent DJs:D .

When most of the others relied on a pager for requests and dedications, these boys had the balls to use a landline (01-963 1143, of course):)

Anyone remember their weekly Transatlantic Dance Party? Live by satellite from the USA (yeah right!).

"Uh Uh! Don't touch that dial, keep it locked to Medina, ten twenty two FM"

Also have a lot of respect for Phantasy 98.1, Lightning 90.8, Powerjam 92.0 ("you don't need no piece of dial!"), Jok's Cafe (complete with washing-up noises in the background) and of course Friends FM 100.7. Mustn't forget my local heroes, Don FM either. Those were the days.

[shivar]

Rampage 98.1




:D you know

[Dezine]

Freek used to be the station I always listened into. Got a tape of EZ and Viper somewhere. Plus Craig David used to mc on there and was very good I seem to remember. It was a good 10 years a go now.

[Dezine]

tha Original oldskl Lush 107.4




Didnt Craig'y B and Ganja MC try and bring that back last summer. Aint seen Ganja for ages. He had one of the best voice's for a MC.
