DMZ Diary

This is the intro track we play at the start of every show, Except that this week we decided that the audience deserved to fully experience the slammin' Beats - so here's the bits of the record you don't usually hear.

A Rubling Bass monster that was the stand out track on Leftfield's second album 'Rythym and Stealth' sadly it proved impossible to follow up 'Leftism' which is still considered by many to be the best dance album ever (tm), but It doesn't stop this being a top track.

Bass heavy tech house number from a production team who deserve an award for their celebration of bassbins.

Slynus is Linus under another name, this techno number is built around a Radiohead sample.

One of the few cases where a primetime floor filler has proper lyrics, Jan Johnson used to sing folk music but ended up being recruited by BT and voicing more than a couple of big room anthems.

The piano hook from clocks was just too tempting for some producers and has found itself either sampled outright or merely copied for various white labels, the exact origin and history of this mix is still uncertain, I've got it on a white label which may ori may not be legal. Hope you enjoy it.

One of the hottest breaks tracks doing the rounds right now, it's distinctive and probably annoying synth line is a sure sign that dancefloor crazyness is imminent - don't say I didn't warn you.

The name of the label alone is sheer genius, which is appropriate for something coming from the minds of the two lone swordsmen. Radioactive Man is just Keith on his own, doing a nice line in dark electro breakbeat numbers.

OMG! This record is a monster! Those crazy Italians have been doing some great things recently - and this is a perfect example.

Nice house reworking of a DJ Hyper track, Hyper doesn't seem to do that much original material, so it's always nice to hear something from him.

House record with an inspirational vocal and more than a little help from Moby.

This track from Kosheen's forthcoming album has been given the remix treatment by producers of the moment 'PLanet Funk'
