It’s been a minute but we’re back once again (yes, like the renegade master) with some brilliant clubland memories and big tunes from the nightlife archives. Will Tunde like any of the music this time? Will James be able to hold back from turning fond clubland memories into academic-style discussions about youth subcultures – and will Scott be able to go through an entire episode without mentioning DJ Sasha? Discover the answers to these questions – together with top tracks from Steve Hurley, Farley & Heller, T-Coy and many more – in the latest episode of Pipe and Slipmats.

Note to listeners: we’d really intended to get this one released prior to our summer 2025 Ibiza trip. Sadly we didn’t, so please ignore our well-intentioned invite to come party with us on the White Isle. We’ll be back there in 2026 though, so watch this space for details.

Featuring big tunes that include Don Carlos 'Alone', Liberty City 'Some Lovin', All Boxed In 'Happen' and many more. Plus a load of club culture chat from three men who still hit the dancefloor occasionally even though they're really old enough to know better.

The show also sees discussion of the brilliant band Crazy P, whose frontwoman Danielle Moore died in September 2024. The Pipe and Slipmats team has seen her perform many times over the years and, like the rest of the dance music community, will miss her energy, showmanship and talent. RIP Danielle.

Big thanks also to Finn for the editing and post-production. x

A special long-player of an episode featuring piano house, bleep classics, Hacienda backroom dubs and lively old-school clubbing conversations. Plus a special guest interview with 2 Bad Mice's Simon Colebrook.

One hour of brilliant tracks from back in the day – plus a bunch of great clubbing memories revisited.

Scott and James are joined by new member of the P&S team Tunde (one half of renowned drum and bass producers Futurecut), who brings some much needed professionalism – and actual music knowledge – to the party.

The original recording of big rave tunes and nightlife stories, created by Scott (ex editor of Ministry of Sound magazine) and James (Defected records).

Featuring tunes by DJ H feat Stefy, Prodigy, Electric Choc, DOP and more. Plus an interview with legendary rave DJ Slipmatt

Vol 4 of this celebration of dance music and rave culture sees more amusing tales of clubland excess and a stack of big old school club tunes being played. Plus a guest appearance by nightclub and record label legend Charlie Chester (Flying / DC10)

All helmed by your regular trio:

Scott Manson (ex Ministry of Sound magazine editor)

Tunde Babalola (one half of drum 'n' bass duo Futurecut)

James Kirkham (raver turned marketing guru)
