February

1. David Duriez "Re.born" /Gourmet

Maybe I’m biased, but this is just working beautifully.

 

2. Patrick Turner & Ben Camp "Movement" /Dorigen Music

Deep keys, big bouncy bass and oh yes, that snare!

 

3. Chris Specht & Claude 9 "Kritikal Positive" /Shaboom

Serious dub groover working everywhere.

 

4. DJ F.E.X "Alright" /Serial Records

Another Parisian interpreting the wild pitch sound.

 

5. Phil Weeks "Song for Maya" /Brique Rouge

A catchy melody fused with more of Phil’s signature acid.

 

6. Spettro "T-Shorty" /Big Chief

All the mixes work and the tools are useful.

 

7. Peace Division "Beatz in Peacez 01" /NRK

This long groovin’ gem keeps the PD torch lit nicely.

 

8. Hipp-e "Let It Play" /Detour

All three tracks are tight but this is my fave.

 

9. Army of One "Lion’s Roar" (Jay Tripwire Rmx)/Stupendous

Amazing what a good bass line, beat and keys can do for you.

 

10. Xavier Mathias "Body Free" /Brique Rouge Traxx

Bass driven, chunky and filled with FX, God forbid!

 

11. Terry Francis & Eddie Richards "Breakfast At Tones" /Lifted

More good house music that politicians love to hate.

Both sides are still doing it.

Loving this tough workout, complete with dark stabs.

When the man talks, you listen!

 

15. JAS "Hitchhiking" (Chicken Lips Rmx)/Hooj

CL doing CL - and it’s still good.

 

16. The Lewis Twins "Twilite" /Tango

It’s amazing how great music can get overlooked. Wake up!

 

17. Nephets "Lava Lamp’n" (CGT Remix)/Brique Rouge Traxx

Still brilliant, still in my set.

 

18. Formidable Force "Mind Games" /2020 Vision

Brett’s A-side mix is the one for me.

 

19. Magik J "The Funk" /NRK

The melodic dub lives up to this track’s namesake.

 

20. Soulrider "Silky Mama" /Hallucination Limited

The perfect blend of tech and soul elements.

 

 

 

February 24th 2003

1. David Duriez "Re.born" /Gourmet

Mood filled and sleek. Designed with surgical precision.

 

2. Patrick Turner & Ben Camp "Liquid Dub" /Dorigen Music

This warm and inventive track is Patrick’s best yet.

 

3. Chris Specht & Claude 9 "Kritikal Positive" /Shaboom

Dubby, spaced out and arranged to perfection.

 

4. Spettro "T-Shorty" /Big Chief

You could do an entire DJ set just with this double pack.

 

5. Nephets "Lava Lamp’n" (CGT Remix)/Brique Rouge Traxx

CGT and M1 trackin’ out for the BR terror squad.

A1 is still doing it on the floor.

 

7. Terry Francis & Eddie Richards "Breakfast At Tones" /Lifted

Terry’s version rocks a bouncy bass line under some tasty acid.

This song is a mainstay in my sets.

Purely electronic while remaining funky and soulful.

The don of dub meets the house music rude boys.

Another solid 4 tracker from BC and one half of Omni AM.

 

17. Formidable Force "Mind Games" /2020 Vision

2 mixes by Brett Johnson and the new "Secret Weapon" all good.
