SUR History

SUR was seeded in the early 1990's. I went to some parties in London run by Strictly Kev, Coldcut, and Mixmaster Morris (Strictly is DJ Food, amongst other things). The 80's were over. Soon the crumbling edifices of the Cold War would come crashing down. The 80's was supposed to be the "greed decade" and yet it culminated in the end of the Cold War. Surely we were doing something right ? I spent the 80's listening to Top 40 pop music hits. Music that I still find nostalgic. A lot of it actually has very clever pop melodies .... of course, intended to get you hooked. To sell the record. Then came Rave. Drop the drugs, and something big was happening. Some call it the "Harmonic Convergence", others a dissatisfaction in society with depressing ways of living. Around this time the International Space Station started taking shape. Our first orbital presence in space ... that we know of. In fact one band was called "Orbital", even if it was a homage to the M25.

So, presently SUR is a collection of mixes I started doing in the mid 1990's. It is also where tracks created by me turn up. The future ? Who knows what might happen, but I'd like to see SUR become more than just me. Are there other struggling musicians out there ?
