Picked by the Face as one of the top clubs of the 90’s- Magick was run by three handsome fellas – Eseh, Saul an Adil. Startin around Feb/92 in Macs wine bar in Cleveland St, W1- before movin on to Wildes in Chinatown 6/7 months later- it also had a run of around 10 months or so at Ormands in Piccadilly, an then a short stint in Burlington St, off Regent St.

-“When Magick  first started it was in a little wine bar- they used to have poetry, random musicians, bongo players an stuff, a bit like a beat scene”.

– “early on it was more of a retro scene-the music was mostly late sixties, early seventies funky rock stuff, with a bit of psyche, freak an trippy s**t thrown in- but very funky, an very danceable!”

–     “it was a pretty  amazing scene then, they used to come up with all these mind blowin tunes that absolutely nobody was playin then- things like ‘Psyche Rock’, ‘Jumpin Jack Flash’ by Ananda Shanka, Slver Apples an Can.

“Magick  was a very cool scene then, it was very word a mouth. But it grew quickly too”.

– I remember the one sweaty night-the break in Chicago Transit Authority’s ‘I’m a man’ it felt like it was goin on forever- fantastic times”

“A couple a years later, a lot a the tunes like Psyche Rock, Mathar an EVA become standards on the club scene an there were a lot of remixes made, people jumpin on the bandwagon”-

“The Magick we started goin to regularly was upstairs, above a restaurant in Chinatown-

That grew from a few regular faces to the point where they had to move on as they had long queues out front, too many people inside an the floorboards would bounce up an down- I think they were worried we might end up in the restaurant below!- I mean can you imagine a small club, absolutely packed to the rafters-just freakin out to Psyche Rock!! It was amazin”

“Once word got around they’d be a stream a celebs droppin in- actors, musicians –

It was a very small underground scene, but very influential”

“They also used a lot a guest dj’s- esp in the warm up slots- I played  a few times, Saul was a great D.J but Adil played some amazing stuff, he had a fantastic collection, I think at the time he was definitely one of the best DJ’s in London- course he went on to have a No.1 with Goldbug- ‘Whole Lotta Love”

“I remember a lot of heavy funk or rock influenced funk, Rare Earth, the Stones, Temptations an the Bo Diddley -Gladiator album- wow!”

“It seems like one week we were down Solaris dancin’ to Deep House, the next, freakin to magick, an funk rock psychadelia!

welcome to this week/months offering-most of these tracks were put together from a set of playlists which were originally for  a film/ documentary project that got lost somewhere in the never neverland a few years bac-lookin at the way in which reggae an dub from Jamaica has influenced music….VOL.1 (actually-orig VOL.2) is mostly mid to late 70’s stuff-starting with all the usual suspects an then wandering off  someplace else?

this will of course be very enjoyable to sit an listen to/play to your mates or jus fix your motorcycles to –
