DERBY RAVERS / GARVEY HAIRCUT - FILTER SEQUENCE

Derby Ravers was written after Nottingham based Filter Sequence ventured into Derby to watch Altern-8. It’s a mix of breaks, hoovers and 303s and has been a staple of Filter Sequence’s live set for a while.

Garvey Haircut was inspired by an advert from Nottingham’s Rave FM pirate station bid. The “if I’m not there I’ll cut my hair” sample was from an advert for a rave that was held at Rock City. It’s a mix of pianos, strings and Amens.
