There's nothing that satisfies like a dose of real searching soulful mind-melting spirit-lifting techno. Have to doff my cap to Colin Dale who's mighty Abstrakt Dance radio show really opened me up to the potential depths of electronic dance music, and set me off down the path... I'll definitely be putting together a classic 80s house & techno mix or two before too long, but this selection pulls out some less well known UK & US cuts from the 90s, and gets deeper and darker as it goes. Talking of dark, look out for the Ngin-O track around 29mins in - mmm-mmm-mmm - i get goosepimples on that one. Interesting slice of breakbeat blackness from Bill Laswell (played at the wrong speed) up after that too...

A set of work-it-to-the-bone house, techno, acid, bleep and proto-jungle from the golden era of warehouse raving.
