Welcome to 909originals


Launched in July 2017, 909originals is a website dedicated to uncovering the stories behind some of the greatest dance tracks, people and nightclubs of the past, present and future.

Since our launch, we’ve chatted to some of the biggest names in electronic music, including Fatboy Slim, Terry Francis, CJ MackintoshDave Clarke, Danny Rampling, Terry Farley, Paul and Phil Hartnoll of Orbital, Josh Wink, A Guy Called Gerald, Shaun Ryder, DJ Paulette, Lee Burridge, Kurtis Mantronik, Paul Woolford, Edzy (Unique 3), Ellen Allien, Darius Syrossian, Roland Clark, Seb Fontaine, Greg Wilson, Rob Birch (Stereo MCs), Justin Robertson, Graeme Park, Alex Paterson (The Orb), Judge Jules, Bill Brewster, Frank de Wulf, Steve Mac, Gez Varley (LFO), Olivier Abbeloos and many more. And we’re only getting started..!

It’s not about celebrating a particular genre of dance music… nor is it to be read as a swipe at today’s EDM-saturated culture.

It’s about the past… the present… the Phuture.

In the words of the late Darryl Pandy on Farley ‘Jackmaster’ Funk’s ’Love Can’t Turn Around’… “Now this is how it started….” 🙂
