Stakker – Humanoid
Stakker started life as a graphics company that would end up as a collaborative project when video makers Mark McClean and Colin Scott teamed up with Brian Dougans. The trio’s work eventually morphed into the rave classic we know today. Sampling video game Berzerk, this tunes was probably played at every rave between its release [...]
Nomad – (I Wanna Give You) Devotion
This tune was a massive club hit on both side of the Atlantic in 1991 for production team Nomad. Produced by Damon Rochefort and feature MC Mikee Freedom it was actually the first tune that band member Steve McCutcheon ever wrote. Vocals were supplied by Sharon D. Clarke who also sang on FPI Project’s classic [...]
Outlander – Vamp
It’s been a while since we had any rave goodness in the Classics section so I figured it was time that we once again dove into the R&S back catalogue. Going back to 91 with this one, it’s a bit of a monster. The unforgettable synth stab and vocal chant lead to the tune being [...]
Liquid – Liquid is Liquid (rmx)
The original version of this appeared on a white label release in 1991 alongside the original of the classic “Sweet Harmony”. Following the success of that track, “Liquid is Liquid” received a wee retouch in 1994 and it’s still one of my all time favourites. It’s a spacey wee number with big chunky breaks and [...]
Skream goes Ed Bangin’
Dubstep supremo Skream and French electro house label Ed Banger aren’t exactly a combo that immediately springs to mind. The collaboration however has given birth to a couple of absolutely amazing tracks. First up is Skream’s epic remix of Cassius’s “I

As one of the pioneers of the early rave scene in the UK, 808 State first came to prominence in 1989 when their tune “Pacific State” reached number 10 in the UK charts. An amazing feat for their second tune and and sign of what was to come in the blossoming electronic music scene in [...]
Sunday Roast – Best of the Rest
With the autumn drawing in fast, its time to beef things up on both the tune and food front. Check out the tasty roast to chase away the chill and open the ears. There is so many quality beats around at the moment, its hard to fit them all in. We can but try with [...]
Nexus 21 – Self Hypnosis
Mark Archer and Chris Peat became rave legends in the early 90′s as Altern 8 but before donning the masks and boiler suits, they worked together as Nexus 21. Their first work appeared on “The Rhythm of Life” album on Blue Chip before signing to Network (who would also later release Altern 8′s material) and [...]
Sunday Roast – Best of the Rest
As we reach the end of another week, it’s time for a big favourite of mine – the ol’ roast pork with crackling. I realise this is two roast pork dishes in two weeks, but it’s defo worth it for this badboy! Another top quality round up of goodies to aid digestion this week and [...]
