| Artist | Track | Label | Buy? (readme) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bassbin Twins | ESW | Marine Parade | |
|
This is the intro track we play
at the start of every show.
|
|||
| Masters at Work |
Work | |
|
|
Carribean flavoured house track from MAW, great lyrics......
|
|||
| One Dove |
Breakdown (Secret Knowledge Mix) | FFRR | |
|
One Dove were a Scottish band who produced some excellent downtempo tracks
along with producer Andy Wetherall, they only released one album before
lead singer Dot Allison went off to pursue her solo career.
|
|||
| Reckless |
Still In The Groove (Def Offenders Mix) | Distinctive | |
|
Disco Breakbeat, well not really breakbeat but played by the right DJ's to
get some credible support.
|
|||
| Spice 69 |
Overdrive (Timo Maas Mix) | |
|
|
Timo Maas has this great trick where he'll turn an otherwise run of the mill
house tracks into some electrified creature that can't help but burst onto
the nearest dancefloor.
|
|||
| Plump DJ's |
The Gate | Finger Lickin' | |
|
One of the stand out moments from the Plump's new album 'Eargasm', electro,
acid breaks - able to pull even the most horizontal people onto the dancefloor.
|
|||
| Phil Kieran |
The Bomb | TT500 | |
|
This track just got the remix and re-release treatment courtesy of Skint
records, but here's the original TT500 version.
|
|||
| BT |
Smartbomb (Plump DJ's Remix) | Nettwerk USA | |
|
I know, another Plump DJ's track, this remix completely transforms the original
alt-rock experiment from BT into one of the most distinctive sounding records
of teh past few years. This record turned a lot of fans in the US onto
the Plump DJ's and their take on breakbeat.
|
|||
| Underworld |
2 Months Off | Junior | |
|
I've just spent 2 months off, so I thought this was appropriate, the
first track off Underworld's last album, 100 Days Off. There's a greatest
hits compilation headed into the stores for Christmas, now's a good time to
remember just how good these guys can be.
|
|||
| Slam |
Positive Education | Soma | |
|
Described by Kenny Larkin as, 'one of the most perfect techno records ever
made', and he should know, the Glaswegian duo Slam set standards for techno
with this release and the world of music was changed as a result.
|
|||
| Joy Kitikonti |
Joyenergiser | Nukleuz | |
|
From one of the most perfect techno records ever to one of the stupidest,
but being serious about music doesn't mean playing serious music all the time.
|
|||
| System F |
Out Of The Blue | Tsunami | |
|
One of those defining moments in Trance, this record is as big as they come
and didn't have to resort to a lame female vocal to fill the gaps in the
production.
|
|||
| X-Cabs |
Neuro (99' Mix) | Additive | |
|
Monstrous acid-trance track which was released several times during the 90's,
sounds great at the end of the night.
|
|||
| Yma Sumac |
Malambo | Blue Note | |
|
Not really a dance music record, but I love it, instead of silly noises we
have silly vocals over some stacatto jazz instrumentation. It also mixes
perfectly into the next track.....
|
|||
| Skeewiff |
Cruise Control | Jalapeno | |
|
Funky, horn driven breaks record, with a jaw harp, it can only be the tongue
in cheek music of Skeewiff - priceless.
|
|||
Stay Funky....
see ya Next Week.
