This is what Luke Slater has to say about Steve Bell: "When electro hip-hop became over-commercialised the music suffered, the vibe got lost. Eventually it became a joke and I was left with no music in my life – this was around the mid 80s. It was a sad time: I had to deal with the real world and couldn’t do that very well. I couldn’t understand why I didn’t like any music that was coming out. I couldn’t understand why people were wearing chinos and denim shirts, and I didn’t understand clubs I ended up at where the main mission was to chat up a girl. I was lost... until around 1987 me and a couple of friends decided to go into town to check out a couple of clubs. One of those clubs, in Charing Cross, was called Troll at Soundshaft Heaven. This was my second life-changing revelation, and once again it gave me a purpose.
What I witnessed in there first and foremost was a DJ (Steve Bell RIP, sadly missed) mixing electro – but with a 4/4 beat, in a continuous mix, without speaking in between the records. There was no rapping, just a groove from the gods, an electronic groove made with drum machines, stripped down to its essential elements. I had come home. I had found my family. I ended up as resident DJ there for a year. Wild times."
