hearing a broken beat track or producing one? When was this?

OW: For me, a pivotal moment was in Chicago, sometime around 1991 /92. I spent some time there with friends I used to run Mousetrap records with and got to meet andhang out with DJ's & artists Like Diz, Cajmere, Derrick Carter & Mark Farina.
We'd often go with them to all night loft parties & clubs - and witnessed a completely different way of clubbing if you like, compared to back home. My friends & I were already massive fans of early Roger S, Klubb Kids & MAW records, but here, in clubs like Red Dog, the new Boom box and other warehouse parties, you'd hear this mixed up with tons of new Eightball records and Hip hop like Black Moon's "Who Got The Props" which was just coming through at the time.

We'd never heard mixing/ beat blending done so smoothly. It wasn't like back in the UK with straight-up-House all night long, but instead it was Jazz infused tracks like Zig Zag & Niceguy Soulman on Nervous records 
It was refreshing and inspiring to hear it mixed up like this, live on the dance floor & seeing the crowd react to it.

One particular night whist at this mental warehouse party up on the 30th floor somewhere in downtown Chicago,  Mark Farina dropped "Bug in the Bassbin" by Carl Craig's Innerzone

Orchestra. The crowd went bananas and that was me hooked because it was the weirdest house track I'd ever heard before. It had so much energy and was totally out there, I wanted to hear more stuff like that!
I think that was the first time I started to lose interest in Four to the Floor. There were other good similar tracks and grooves, but the next standout track that came out not too long after was Nuyorican Soul's "Nervous Track". When I first started Neon Phusion with Alex & Kaidi a little later, those were always the two tracks that, in the back of my mind, I was trying to capture and emulate the same energy and spirit. IG Culture's early New Sector and Likwid Biskit tracks he did with Kaidi were the first 'house not house' tracks I heard from the UK which came close to that.

SU: Having done interviews with several producers who came from the Ladbroke Grove area, it always fascinates me just how much music has come from one urban area of London. Broken beat’s birthplace is from here and other more mainstream artist’s such as The Clash, Aswad and The Gorillaz all hail from here too. Ladbroke Grove may be a trendy area now, but traditionally it was quite a rough area with several large estates. I still remember the newspaper’s calling Trellick Tower ‘The Tower of terror’ back in the eighties. With this estate
