Faith have asked me to compile a bunch of charts for their next issue, one of which is OG DJH classics from the first messageboard. I’ve got a memory like a sieve, but I know there were loads of tracks discovered and championed on here originally. Anyone remember any of them?
Boutade - mugwump
Roscoe (beyond wizzards sleeve mix) - mid lake
Can’t help it - tangoterje
Inspector Norse - Todd Terje
Willowman - willowman
Invisible college - gatto Frito
I’m scared - Mark E
This sort of thing?

Yes to all of these. Need to look at my purchases from 2007-2010 as much of that would be DJH-influenced. Also I’d imagine that the early Furtive Fifties would be a good indicator…?

Not sure if this is what you are looking for but DJH had a lot to do with my purchases from Claremont56, Milky Disco, Future Disco, Sleazy Beats and Razor Sharp Edits.

Javaroo - Breakin’ In and by default, its evil twin David Naughton Makin’ It. The latter could probably stay off the list though.

Maelstrom’s edit of Muira, certainly a big discussion topic.

I remember learning about the AB and Bocaccio classics that were the roots of New Beat and Goan Trance, but not sure if they would count as “championed discoveries”.
A few more I remember being championed on the old DJH are
Lindstrøm and Christabelle - Music (In My Mind)
Lindstrøm - Another Station (Todd Terje Remix)
Reverso 68 - Piece Together & Tokyo Disko
Quiet Village Project - Can’t Be Beat / Pillow Talk
Antena - Camino Del Sol (Joakim remixe)
Alice Smith - Love Endeavor (Maurice Fulton)
Kathy Diamond - All Woman (Maurice Fulton)
A Mountain Of One - EP1 & EP2
Firecracker EP1 & EP 3
Hot chocolate - Cadillac (that Revenge edit)
Dølle Jølle – Balearic Incarnation (my fav Terje track)
Visti And Meyland* – Stars (Rodion And Mammarella Mix)
Greg Wilson - Two sides of sympathy
No doubt countless others but those were the ones that immediately sprang to mind as to having classic DJH status. Great memories!
