| Artist | Track | Label | Buy? (readme) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bassbin Twins | ESW | Marine Parade | |
|
This is the intro track we play
at the start of every show.
|
|||
| Electric Six |
Dance Commander (Benny Bennasi Mix) | |
|
|
The Electric Six are great fun, they have great tracks for the dance floor
even when they're not remixed into nutty electro trance versions. Look out
for a remix of 'Danger (High Voltage)' from yours truly - due too appear
in an upcoming episode.

| Armand Van Helden |
Call My Name | Southern Fried | |
|
Armand Van Helden has been around for a long time, but his recent releases
on Southern Fried records have been some of the poppiest and most accessible
tracks from the great man yet. From other producers I might use the word
'cheese' but Armand has a pedrigree that raises him above such comparisons.
Just enjoy his new material, and hope that maybe it'll steal some mainstream
audience away from Britney et al.
|

| Santos |
Pray | Shakadelic | |
|
Santos has been producing a lot of breaks tracks on the MOB label recently
but this harks back a couple of years to the days when he was making house
music that stood out from the crowd.
|
|||
| Zoot Woman |
Gem | Wall Of Sound | |
|
Whew, definately a lot more subtle than the last couple of tracks,
Zoot Woman is basically Jacques Lu Cont collaborating with Johnny and
Adam Blake.
|
|||
| Soul Of A Man |
Acid Punch | Finger Lickin' | |
|
Rarely does a week go by without me playing some of the funky breaks from
Finger Lickin' records, this is a remix of the original (which is on the
B-Side of SOAM's tribal breaks monster 'The Drum') which turned up on
the 'Fractured' compilation from DJ Hyper.
|
|||
| Sasha |
Rabbitweed | Deconstruction | |
|
This is one of the tracks on the Xpander EP, and, while all the DJ's loved
playing Xpander, it would take a while for Rabbitweed to become one of those
important moments in the growth of breakbeat. Sasha also demonstrated his
prog breaks credentials when he remixed Madonna's 'Ray Of Light' in 1997.
|
|||
| Blaze feat Palmer Brown |
My Beat (Jan Driver Mix) | Tommy Boy | |
|
Sad musicologist fact, this track is a 132bpm 4/4 number, perfect for dancing,
but the vocal only runs at 115.5bpm in 7/8 time.
Not that most people care, they just want to get down with the beat.
|
|||
| DJ Dan |
Needle Damage (That Zipper Track) | Duty Free | |
|
DJ Dan always gets listed on flyers as 'Americas Most Beloved DJ', as much
as we enjoy him most of my fellow DJ's think that the quote is a little bit out
of date and people need to reassess things. This track on the other hand
never gets out of date.
|

| Unknown |
|
||
|
I'll figure this out later....
|
|||
| Azzido da Bass |
Dooms Night (Stanton Warriors) | |
|
|
My hands would fall off if I wrote everything I said in the show about this track.
|
|||
| Funk D'Void |
Diabla | Soma | |
|
Soma records released this monster crossover techno track back in 2001,
if anyone ever asks you what techno music sounds like - this is one
of the finest examples there is.
|
|||
| Hatiras |
Spaced Invader | |
|
|
This was one of the biggest tracks of 2000, it got remixed in all sorts
of ways, and even became a Drum n Bass anthem when J Magik speeded it up
to 45rpm and put a break underneath it. But I'm proud of my original version
even though I've never played any of the other 3 tracks on the EP.....
|
|||
| Tall Paul |
Everyone's A Rock Star | Duty Free | |
|
Everyone's a rock star.... except these days it appears that everyone's a DJ,
I saw video recently of Tommy Lee (Ex Motley Crue) doing the DJ thing in
Ibiza. Of course you realise, this means war ;-)
|
|||
Hank is the guy with the records I guess? He's also the Guy who runs
AmuckConcepts.net and has
beem the man behind many free parties on Treasure Island in the San Francisco
bay. He also play's some great breaks tracks and has even managed to find some
stuff from Distinctive records that isn't in my collection!
Stay Funky....
see ya Next Week.
