Listening to the new Fabric mix CD (Jackmaster) and delighted to hear an old favourite on it...

Back in the '90s I used to think it would probably start sounding dated in 10 years - but no...

Had an inexplicable urge to listen to this the other day when out riding. Think I was feeling pretty quick.

And this is an old-school antidote:

Lovely stuff guys, I'll forgive some of you for straying into the 1990s.

Remember the first time you heard this one?

lfo - simon from sydney....

1991, but house/electro/techno in one haunting track.

'poppin!

and Beltram-Energy Flash, how good is that track?! Dave Clarke Essential Mix 1995, 2 copies played back-to-back, same time but in and out of phase, cut between 4 beats out, simple but genius.

Still working my way through these.

That Kevin Saunderson track posted by loco motive is new to me, proper old school!

Beltram-Energy Flash, how good is that track?! Dave Clarke Essential Mix 1995, 2 copies played back-to-back, same time but in and out of phase

This sounds awesome.

Strange that this stuff is more than 20 years old. That's older than the Velvet Underground was when I was getting into it as a teenager!

At 1976 it's a bit early but as we've had Planet Patrol and The Soul Sonic Force it's only fair to have the originators.

C.O.D. - In the Bottle. Was always a favourite, just for the intro.

Agree about Warrior Groove, proper tune. Dug it out and keep meaning to use it in a mix.

Hard Rock Soul Movement reminds me of recording music off of the pirate stations before I could afford to buy my own. Happy days 🙂

A few more I just remembered, this thread is bringing back some good memories:
