Twenty years ago four lads in Edinburgh started a regular nightclub event that lasted over eight years, four chapters, three venues and one generation of dedicated, hedonistic and sorely missed nightclubbers. Tribal Funktion stopped just before the start of the new millennium but recollections of it, for some of us, still remain.
Why?
I'm tracking down photos, videos, mix tapes and memories of that time and posting them on this blog. It was a fantastic period in my life that I shared with so many. Having not even thought about it for 12 years the sudden rush to pay my respects and share is overwhelming. Please feel free to contribute and enjoy.
We've had a few requests of late for some recordings from the club. And having borrowed another DAT player at last that seems more possible than ever. Stay tuned!! In the meantime old timer George whipped up a quick mix to get you in the mood. Lovingly recorded on one side of an actual TDK SA-90 cassette to help furnish your ears with that genuine retro feel. Have a listen here. Now, did we file Derrick Carter under D or C?
