Stream: Graeme Park Warehouse Mix

Live from Vintage Festival

As a Friday treat ClashMusic have grabbed a warehouse mix from Graeme Park – courtesy of Vintage Festival.

One of Britain’s most forward thinking clubs, the Hacienda was perfectly placed to absorb the culture shock of Acid House. Always ahead of the curve, DJs such as Graeme Park and Mike Pickering introduced their audiences to tracks straight out of Detroit and Chicago.

With their ‘Nude’ night the pair helped to inspire the Second Summer of Love, ushering in Manchester’s reputation as a dance capital.

Still an in demand DJ, Graeme Park has never lost his thirst for new music. Yet the retro seams in dance culture keep drawing him back, with the rejuvenated popularity of rave infecting one of its founding fathers.

Asked to play a warehouse party at last year’s Vintage Festival, Graeme Park responded with a blistering set. Definitely not a Nude revival set, the DJ tore through his box searching out some fast and furious electronic music.

Captured live and direct from the decks, the Vintage Festival have uploaded the set to their SoundCloud page. As a special Friday treat ClashMusic have grabbed the mix and you can stream it below…

Set to return later this month, The Vintage Festival is set to settle into the confines of the Southbank Centre. Running between July 29th – 31st, the event has a superb line up of DJs ranging from the 1920s to the birth of rave culture.

Hosting a unique pop up high street, the festival is a celebration of Britain’s unique take on music and design.
