you could be right…most of the tapes he went over his regular time it was hard to figure out what the actual time slot was…but i don’t believe i’ve stumbled on a tape where the time is ever announced to be in the 6 o’clock range.

I thought Radio London was 6pm-8pm . . . on saturday nights . . .

Thank you for the recordings . . . I remember listening to them and am grateful to hear them again. It was the best of times . . .

Hey Tim,

Thanks for the comments, good to know people are reading, listening and enjoying – old schoolers and new schoolers alike.

Worry not, your appreciation will get to Malik eventually….the word about this site is spreading quickly and he’ll definitely read your words one day.

Hi there. I just celebrated my one year rave anniversary and as such I was inspired to study the history of rave in my hometown. Stumbled across your website and I was truly inspired by all of the things here. After some research I found out that the 23 Hop is now a fucking parking lot, seriously wtf?!.

Ive also started trying to contact all of the old fucks I know in an attempt to locate or contact this Malik X character but to no avail. I was wondering if there are any leads you could share with me.

I know I probably seem waaaaay to gung ho about all this shit, but I feel as though I should personally thank him for all he has contributed to making the last year of my life the best so far.

Cheers, Tim.

I remember this tape well. Of course, he did give me a credit on the tape, but that wasn’t the only reason I cherished it.
If I recall correctly, I believe he gave it to me the night he also took the “anc” necklace from around his neck and gave it to me when I was mashed up with my head between my legs at 318 Richmond (by the bottom of those stairs at the front entrance, leading to the hidden basement).

Funny thing is, I now have the anc tattooed on my inside forearm.
Amazing the things that affect you at certain times in your life.

Everyone almost locked me in the club when they left (7a.m. and bright outside) and I guess he saw me down there and totally shit canned. “Oh, it’s Bush mate…he’s still in there! he said.
After about 5 minutes to coax me up from the state I was in, he said “here Bush, take this mate, it’ll give you life!”
I was suddenly alive and astounded that he took it off and put it around my neck. He says “It’s the Egyption symbol of eternal life! wear it well Bush. Here’s one of my boom tapes for you too mate!” “Read the shout outs later… I’m putting it in your pocket.”
Years later, I figured out that (the anc) actually symbolizes the Egyptian symbol for Life, not eternal life, but I got the point. I wore that thing for years raving and partying.
He was a genuine great guy and an honest soul and yet, never left a buddy in the dark. No pun intended.
It’s too bad he vanished. Along with that tape and that Anc!

I think we’ll see him again someday. The anc is now on my arm and I just saw that tape again on your site. They do say good things come in threes!

Hope you’re living well Malik!
Thanks for the memories and for picking me up that day my friend!
