A friend of mine [Nicky Holloway?] had just come back from Spain and had brought some acid house records with him which he announced were the latest thing. But the dancefloor stayed empty. Then it was my turn and I put on a few jazz pieces. The dancefloor was full. To take the piss out of him I called my music Acid Jazz -- Gilles Peterson


Nicky Holloway started up The Special Branch outdoor parties in 1984. They featured up and coming talents of DJs such as Norman Jay and Gilles Peterson. They also paved the way for Kiss FM's start. Parties took place through out London's disused warehouses and became a natural evolution to Northern Soul, jazz funk and Murphy's Jazz nights.
