It's time for a Superlatives episode, and this time we're tackling non-dance songs that were covered as club cuts (mostly in the '90s, because people couldn't seem to stop doing it then for some reason).
One man retires from a life of academia to make an album in his bedroom, and ends up being credited by many as the lone savior of dance music.
