Loads of absolutely fantastic stuff in 1997, I reckon if 1998 and 1999 sound so stale and dated it's because the whole Ed Rush & Optical sound seemed like a template it would be very easy to copy so lots and lots of people did but with immediately terrible results, and this largely coincided...

Okay hear me out

Who was it was saying that Goldie got around? Because fuck me he really did didn't he.

Dillinja remix of David Bowie's Fun that was exclusive to the Bowie fanclub, who were probably the people who wanted it the absolute least.

CD single b-side gold from Dillinja, who was surely knocking him out in his sleep by this stage.

Back on topic though - this uncredited remix of Peter Andre "Mysterious Girl" is faaaaaar better than it had any right to be. Still not quite "good" good but absolutely in keeping with the original post here.

A lost techstep classic here, the Optical dub remix of Laibach God Is God.

M-Beat remixing Sinead O'Connor!

(of course there's a Subtle Audio tune in your first ffs I'm blind)

I have shelves and shelves heaving with this stuff, and never quite made the leap to Dubstep. It's my happy place still really - modern drum and bass that stays true to the roots with breakbeats, samples and sub bass but that doesn't treat the whole thing as a nostalgia exercise. It's...

As was 90's Drum and Bass.

It's somewhat counterintuitive but 10" presses are simply more expensive.

Aaaah you're in Berlin Zhao??? GO TO THIS

It's 99% likely to be just a Pioneer-branded OEM turntable similar to the Stanton ST-150 or the high-end Reloop / Numark / Vestax decks. Even the button layout is near identical to my STR-150's.

Oddly enough there were some really excellent tunes on his label towards the end, stuff that I honestly can't imagine him having had the opportunity to play on the jumpup circuit.

The Brockie & Ed Solo remix of that was the one. If it didn't have those few bars of annoying two-step and it went straight from that halftime intro into the amens I'd play that alllllll the time.

Not feeling the new bits at all really. Thought the audio I heard last night was a hoax initially, so maybe that's coloured my perception of it. But like, whatever about making tunes that are essays in the mimetic reconstruction of pirate radio, and that have a frailty and sweetness to them...
