Altern-8 feat Evelyn “Champagne” King – Shame
Altern-8 are another production duo that we could fill up a year’s worth of classics posts about, today however we’re focusing on “Shame”, the piano rave monster featuring Evelyn “Champagne” King from 1992. Wasting no time, the track intros with the huge piano line and vocal hook before heading into rave territory with a huge […]
Phuturelabs – Old Skool Hip Hop Experiment on Radio Magnetic
The summer’s finally arrived and we’re in a hip hop mood. Taking a trip down memory lane with some 80′s and early 90′s beats, every track is pretty much GOLD and satisfaction is guaranteed. Get it down the pipes quick smart, don’t make us set LL on ya! Expect no turntablism or anything fancy – […]

Hector Ruiez’s Techno Dads mix
Let’s face it, we’re all getting on a bit and as we all join the dad club, it’s nice to know that folks like Techno Dads are out there to help us make the transition from dancefloor madness to pipe and slippers mode. The Dad Casts podcast series features a selection of Djs from the […]
Dj Zinc – 89 to 92 Old Skool mix
We like to dig the crates a bit on a Friday and get some classics on the go and who better to deliver a mix of old skool goodness for a sunny Friday afternoon than DJ Zinc. There’s no tracklist as such but you’ll find gems such as “French Kiss” by Lil Louis and “As […]
Cloud 9 – You Got Me Burnin’
Today’s classic sees us wander into the back catalogue of perhaps the finest label to have ever graced drum n bass – Moving Shadow. Originally released in 1993, this track samples the sadly recently passed away Loleatta Holloway and throws her vocals into a hefty mix of chunky breakbeats, bendy sub bass and rave stabs […]
Pearson Sound vs Hardrive – Deep Inside
Ramadanman AKA Pearson Sound continues his march into 2011 with this absolutely killer remix of the Masters at Work classic from 93. Hot on the heels of his amazing Fabriclive mix, he’s taken the house classic apart and put it back together again in the way only he can by strapping Barbara Tucker’s vocal to […]
Phuturelabs – Experiment 12 on Radio Magnetic
As we’ve reached the first birthday of our monthly banterfest’s at Radio Magnetic we decided to spruce the show up a little. Edinburgh MC Profisee braved the snow and rain and came into the studio for a chat about his forthcoming Phuturelabs EP and we dug into the crates and played some of our all […]

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 […]
Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs – How Far (The 2 Bears rmx) – free download
The 2 Bears (Raf Rundell and Hot Chip’s Joe Goddard) recently turned The View’s “Friend” into an uplifting slice of house, no small task given the original. This wonderful feat of remixing further carved the bears into our psyche following their fantastic “Curious Nature EP” so we were delighted to hear they’d be taking on […]
Engineers Without Fears – Spiritual Aura
The term “intelligent drum n bass” isn’t one that really ever stuck with me, finding one form of music more intelligent than another being slightly baffling. One track however that fell under the journalist’s banner and shaped my listening tastes in the early 90′s was the amazing “Spiritual Aura” by Engineers Without Fear. Dj Rap […]
