DMZ Diary

This is the intro track we play at the start of every show. Slammin Beats!

Great acid tinged filter disco number getting the Cosmos remix treatment.

What a line up! This is Subliminal's 100th release, continuing to do great things for the world of House music.

I've had this in my bag for quite a while, it's quite a pairing (although it can't compete with Subliminal 100) - this remix is a little light on the Kelli Ali vocal, but it's still a great record.

This was on DJ Hyper's Bedrock Breaks mix album, launching the bedrock breaks spin off label, more on Bedrock later......

This was on BT's last album "Movement In Still Life" and is something of a standard in my DJ sets, I'm the proud owner of 2 copies of this track and I'll frequently cut them up back to back to do a live remix.

This track took a good 18 months to make the journey from white label to bona fide Hit, Orinoco is a Timo Maas project but this sounds a lot more trancey than most of his work. Plus the Moguai remix is interesting to people who've heard Moguai's Guitar heavy tracks from recent months.

I'm sure the sample could raise this record to the level of social commentator, but to be honest I just love the driving beats, they have strong links with the Prodigy, and they seem to be taking about the same amount of time between albums ;-)

This is on Tayo's recent Y4K 'Dread At The Controls' compilation, it's got a more electro feel to it, without sounding totally like a Miami Bass track.

Scam is apparently a pseudonym being used by the ever fantastic Krafty Kuts, so you know what to expect, more funky breaks and chunky basslines, great!

This is one of the greatest electronic records ever, it's a perennial favourite which never goes out of style, and I've managed to acquire a grand total of 16 different remixes on vinyl. (I'm still looking for the Marco V remix and the Drum n' Bass version!)

The original mix is an absurdly bad trance number, I can't see why any label would sign it and commission Public Domain to do a remix. But it's easily the best thing ever associated with Public Domain, probably because it doesn't have any crappy sub hip-hop, sorry Hard-Hop, MC'ing over the top.

I don't play nearly enough Underworld, actually most of their famous tracks are in the 140bpm range, faster than most shows, but hey, while I'm here I've gotta take the opportunity. So here's the Fatboy Slim remix, creating a perfect backing track for the insane underworld vocals, see ya next week.
