I'm trying to remember what Pirate radio's were going in the 90's and some of the names of the DJ's, but all I can come up with is

Fantasy and SCR (Sheffield Community Radio) with DJ Easy E.

Anyone else help?

Er, wasn't it Easy D, aka Darren to his mates?

DJ Dream used to do Fantasy FM as well. And don't forget Sully, or Hi-Rise and Logic.

There was one called Foulmouth for a bit - can't remember anymore cept the lad seemed to like it.

I DJed on foulmouth for a couple of years- I was DJ Hat, my partner was DJ Buffalo. The guys who ran it were Chocolate Eclair and the Astronomer.

Astrix and Space?

I think one of them was Chris Duckenfield who went on to record under various tech and deep house guises such as RAC and Swag. Still DJs I think.

I used to love the adverts they ran on SCR - I had a C90 of them for a years, but unfortunately it seems to have vanished.

Who could forget the classic,

"The Hat Shop - up the gennel by the side of the Job Centre!"

I loves the
"No mugs, no thugs, just party people"
Are there any pirate stations around at the moment?

yeah and is there any websites or online stuff about em anywhere?
i remember there used to be one in the flats opposite us up pitsmoor once, cant rememeber the name

Dunno - why not start up your own....

Hardcore Fm, Pitch Fm to name 2.

I think Hardcore FM used to be in the old blue flats on Norfolk Park. I can only remember Easy D and Ratty (Not Rat Pack) though. I will post more if I can remember them.

I do remember that some of the mixing was very, very iffy!!

There was one called Dream FM for a short while I seem to remember.

Good post from you Nathen.....I remember when Sheffield Community Radio started broadcasting in 1987. A lot of pirate radio stations used to transmit from Norfolk Park and site their aerials on top of the tower blocks, using a half wave dipoles, facing across the city. Unfortunately Sheffield Community Radio’s transmitter was set up by a right cowboy, because it used to chuck “sproggies” out right across the VHF bands causing interference to the emergency services.

i've got a c90 cassette from 1990 of scr it's got plenty of those ads including one for the limit on west street. plenty of good tunes inc lfo

SCR and Fantasy FM 101.9 were awesome. I am originally from the other side of Doncaster and one day, when in Rotherham I managed to tune my dads car radio into SCR. Later that day I was up on the roof of my mum and dads house with a car ariel and a wire to my bedroom window. I could pick up SCR and Fantasy FM from over 30 miles from Sheffield !!!!. I used to love it. It was such new music to me. The names I remember were 'Wisdom and Merlin' and 'Face'. I have a few crackly tapes as well from early 90s. Mainly the more piano type stuff. I loved the adverts as well.

Superb.

If anyone wants a copy of my tapes let me know and I will try and get them put up online somewhere.

:)

I've got some old SCR tapes from about 1990 - a couple of things stand out for me - Strings of Life, and anything by LFO (I still have their first album too...)

Chris is a friend of a friend (I don't know him personally), but by all accounts he's still recording - had an album out not so long back, and he's very sucessful (Dj-ing) in America and elsewhere abroad.

I had mates that played on a few of the pirates, and in had a few slots myself - I remember some of the shady studio setups. Schizophrenic guy who lived in one of the flats, would spend the whole show coming in shouting for less noise, so we would turn the sounds down, then five minutes later he would be back in demanding to know why we were all so quite......Being held up for our records in Pitsmoor, then having them returned after they realised we were on SCR.....Underground Fm, in the cellar of a record shop, playing away, unaware cops were questioning mates above my head..... getting electric shocks every time i used the mixer...

i'm looking for tapes of S.C.R if anyone can help cheers !

The name Mailine 102 comes to mind. Oldish sounding guy, one-man band type. Used to blot out the Lincs FM signal on 102.2 when it was on air. Now Dearne FM does the same damn thing!

Was that the guy in the masionettes at pitsmoor??

I am one of the co-founders of SCR and I am looking for any recordings that are around as I do not possess any.

Revelation time!

I used to play on SCR radio - I still have tapes (somewhere), and I miss those days so much!

We we're known as the M.A.D.D. Crew and we played a combination of US Deep House/Garage - UK Street Soul, 'Propa' R&B, Funk, Jazz and Techno, we played on Sundays just before Trevor Ranks (Wha' gwan Ranks...?:thumbsup: ) and any other shows we'd fill in for....

Not about to reveal who I am but we where there from the start (almost!)

Hey Brunswick - u good?:)

We also ran competitions and we did one of the busiest shows phone-ins - about Trainers....

Memories....

[Zombie Thread]

I think we need some sort of pirate setup once again, all the radio stations play the same music over and over again. The music people actually want to listen to is being ignored.
I don't mean just the rave stuff like back in the day, but a good variate of alternative music.

I met Easy D a few times when I worked in the clubs.. He was a lovley lad.. very cheeky.. lol Anybody know how he is and what hes doing these days

to al the ppl reminicing about the good ol' days of pirate radio and easy d and rush, you will be glad to hear that darren (easy d) and his brother marco hold a night called re-u-nitez playing all the old school tunes from back in the days of cj's, ppl choice, palais, limit etc every 2nd weekend, usually at the redrooms and they also line up live pa's-last one to play was rozalla with everybodys free...so get ya glad rags on and pop down for a nite of pure old skool riddims..peace

I met Easy D a few times when I worked in the clubs.. He was a lovley lad.. very cheeky.. lol Anybody know how he is and what hes doing these days

sorry to bump an old trend, Eazy D still DJs & runs his own old skool night called Reunitez in Sheffield

...........

I used to pick up Hardcore FM then Fantasy from as far away as Thorne (11 miles the other side of Doncaster) with the help of wiring around my entire room!
Me and a mate used to come through to Norfolk Park flats on Bank Holiday's around 93' when the Fantasy FM guys including Easy D would spin outside and build up quite a crowd.
I bumped into Easy D (Darren) in The Harley whilst he was spinning a few weeks back and he remembered those times well!
I went on to play a few Pirates over Doncaster way and now still DJ in Sheffield at various venues every weekend...happy days they were though!

Grew up on Norfolk Park, happy days! Easy D, legend. To those who remember...............

anybody remember Mr bluebeat and boy trojan on scr ? Well one of them Mr bluebeat is still going strong and playing tonight ( Friday 30th ) at the hadfield hotel crookesmoor sheffield if anybody fancies popping down an reliving their past its free admission as well
