Podcasts about hooj

Founded in 1990 by Alex Simons and Red Jerry (real name Jeremy Dickens), Hooj Choons was born out of London's underground club scene with one mission: to release forward-thinking dance music that didn't give a damn about trends. While Simons exited the label in the mid-90s, Red Jerry took the reins and led Hooj through its golden era—dropping genre-defining tracks that fused trance, house, and breakbeat into something deeper, darker, and smarter than the commercial charts could handle. Hooj sleeves became a mark of trust for DJs: if it was Hooj, it was going in the set. The label built a cult following with artists like Tilt, Medway, Lustral, Solar Stone, Killahurtz, and Lost Tribe, and later earned iconic status with its tongue-in-cheek compilation series “Some of These Were Hooj.” Red Jerry's own mixes and A&R instincts helped define what progressive dance music meant in the UK—and beyond. This isn't trance the way the mainstream remembers it. This is progressive trance. In this mix, you'll hear meditative uplifts from Solar Stone, brooding grooves from Medway, twisted late-night spirals from LSG, and enough Red Jerry mixes to build a church. There are dubby versions, creeping Farmatronic edits, and vocal tracks that somehow felt more like mantras than lyrics. This is music made for moments—not for festivals, but for back rooms, closed-eye sets, and headphone pilgrimages. Built from layers, driven by groove, and remembered by the heads who never needed glowsticks to get high. Here it is, 2 hours of Hooj; 1991-1999 hits! 01. Diss-Cuss - Save the Day (Aquarius Mix) 02.
