Nick Muir is active in the music scene since the 1980s. He did release tracks under project names such as Cabala, X-Odus, Nemo, Floorjam, Monumental and also his own name Nick Muir. But he is mostly known for his long association with John Digweed, for their project Bedrock.
In the year 1993 the Bedrock debut track “For What You Dream Of” came out. For this one Nick and John worked together with Carol Leeming, who took care of the vocals.
“For What You Dream Of” really became popular in 1996, because it was used in a scene in the popular cult film "Trainspotting". But not only the movie became a big hit, also the soundtrack of "Trainspotting" became very succesful, which resulted in a re-release of the track, which then entered the charts.
For this week’s vlog I sat down with Nick Muir, to ask him about the story behind “For What You Dream Of” and more.
Enjoy and thanks for watching!

What is your all-time favorite Bedrock production or remix?

@Dashoost 11 ай бұрын

as much as I love Heaven Scent, For What You Dream Of was so far ahead of the field to be produced in '93 It really showed the potential for the rest of the 90's

@MagisterHamid 11 ай бұрын

There are so many. Remixes of Chakra - I Am, Underwold - Cowgirl, Evolution - Walking on Fire, Luzon - The Baguio Track just to name a few!

I still remember hearing For What You Dream of in 1996 when it got re-released in Australia. I already thought it sounded ahead of it's time. Imagine my brain when I discovered it was actually recorded in '93! Bedrock have produced so many incredible tunes... Set In Stone and their remix of Shmuel Flash's 'Chilling Moments' are favourites, but this track is the one I always come back to. Can't wait to hear the interview Twan!

And they did it again with "Gridlock" in 2014 - sadly didn't get quite the recognition that "For What You Dream Of" got - but such a banger.

WOW..that was an INCREDIBLE interview. I discovered bedrock in 1996 as I walked out of the Cinema after Trainspotting and straight into HMV to get the soundtrack so I could listen to “For What You Dream Of” again. It was such an exciting time for music. I didn’t know Bedrock at the time but they really blew me away. 👍👍

This is probably your best interview yet Twan! What a nice guy Nick is! Also btw. A very early version of For what you dream of can be heard as early as february 1993 on Sasha Kiss FM show . In the end of that mix John Digweed makes a guest appearance and he introduces his latest track that at the time he called "The 5th Essence". It’s a version without the vocals and with a different arrangement!

Bedrock were an important formative part of my tastes in dance music - they had this signature deep and menacing sound that gave such power to their tracks and remixes that I loved. Thanks for sharing this excellent interview. Also, it doesn't surprise me to hear that Nick, John and Sasha worked hard to get where they are - you had to back then.

I wish Capar Pound was still here..R.I.P. Are people.id love to hear from. Great channel as always giving us mortals some insight into some classics, and not so classic (that's dependent on one's taste) but all the same it is great to hear the story behind some iconic tracks. Thanks 😊 Spectrum- Brazil will always be a classic to me as well as Acid house/Detroit Techno/Belgian new beat and techno. R&S & DiKi as well as Bonzai, Noom, Hook/Bellboy, 23rd Precint, F Communications etc. Legendary and worth an interview on. Cheers Muzikexpress 😊

@muzikxpress I'm rooting for you sir. Thanks you for telling me that you do indeed hope to catch these legends and others one day...would love it if you do? Nevertheless, always loved your channel, always watch and thank you for your response. One of my personal faves is when you chatted to Franky Jones. It was amazing to hear he didn't like it at first! It just shows you that geniuses don't necessarily understand or appreciate their work at the time. Always informative and relaxed this channel. For that Sir...I salute you 🫡 Greetings from The original Glasgow. Love the Netherlands and Belgium. That's why I've been four times. Hope our dreams come true. Take care...Iain 🫶

@@otherworld8451 I’m working for Luminosity, so that means I have no time during (and before / after) the festival for interviews. Plus interviews at festivals doesn’t really work, too much noise / loud music and people walking around, which isn’t really helping for the quality of the interview.

Sorry, not doing any requests at the moment. Plus don't forget that I don't have a travel budget for these interviews. I can only do interviews with people who live nearby (I'm based in the south of The Netherlands), or with artists that visit for gigs etc. Muzikxpress is 'just" a hobby and there's simply not enough revenue coming in for travels abroad. Thanks for your understanding.

So the dance music came from Detroit then it went to the uk or to the Germany Amsterdam area?

@termiitos 6 ай бұрын

Northern Soul from the north of England, influencing Disco >> Chicago House, Detroit Techno >> influencing the UK and Germany in their own ways, throw Italo disco into the mix and you get Progressive House >> early trance.
