I'm In The Zone - Thin Boy Slob

[chapperz66]

I'm very excited to share with you a very rare audio clip, recently recovered from the depths of the BBC archive vaults, of the legendary EDM genius Thin Boy Slob - aka Norman Hartnell.  This incredible clip captures Thin Boy at the height of his game, performing live in front of literally dozens of ecstatic people at the Weston-Super-Mare Slimecore Club, the world famous centre of the Tesco Club-card scene.

Sadly all that remains of this electrifying 2 hour performance is 75 seconds of the classic "I'm in the Zone"

Enjoy.

You know, I think I was at that gig. I mean the '90's are all a bit hazy, but I spent a summer sleeping on the beaches of the south west, bumming my way round and getting gear wherever I could find it. Sleeping until the seagulls started to see if I was edible, surfing, warm Fosters lager and party til 3am or later.

I'm sure I was there. I'm in the zone, yeah

Nice find Paul.

Ah Weston-Super-Mare, not that far from the M4/M5 Interchange. I like to think that Thin Boy was the inheritor of the music started by the likes of  those underground German bands that so influenced Star Schema, only with a lot more Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!

This certainly captures the spirit of that scene with some great EDM noises going on, superb thumping bass sounds and all it needs is a mahoosive sound system to take it to the next level. I found that just having it looping means you can recreate the experience of the full 2 hr performance.

Great fun Paul, very nicely put together and I laughed out loud at the background piece.

This is cool.

Absolutely fantastic. I want more! Delve a bit deeper - there must be some more undiscovered audio somewhere?!

Now, I'm from Weston-Super-Mare, and I don't remember anything like this...

Mind you, I left to go to University in 1980... then made my way (from Exeter) to London to get famous...

I remember Mr B's... but it was all Stayin Alive and Le Freak when I was there.

My sister tells me that it got quite slimey later... I don't really see Thin Boy Slob being her sort of night out either, so she probably didn't see them.

Good stuff Paul... very authentically done... could be outta Trainspotting. Nice one.

Cool techno track!

I think Thin Boy Slob and Prodigy were on tour together in the 90's!!
