Definitely a snapshot in time. I’m jealous of those that walked into a club or rave (or back room pub) and heard this stuff on a really good system for the first time, bit before my time unfortunately. It’s kind of perfect early doors music. Great programming and sampling, done with a genuine passion rather than opportunism. Then ‘Big Beat’ came and shat all over this stuff like a dodgy pigeon. I still think a lot of this cut and paste style production sounds amazing compared to the polished polite insipid soul of today.

Anyway…
