First heard ‘Hold Your Head Up High’ on a recording of an EZ set from a Sidewinder at the Brunel Rooms in Swindon in 2001. The rest of the set is predominantly Dark Garage/early Grime and he mixes it in very quickly from the breakdown towards the end of the set - you can literally hear the place explode when it drops. I think this was the second Speed Garage record I ever bought and I always used to play it out at my local club during sixth form (I also made an edit of it where I re-recorded it from the breakdown, pitched up to 140 so I could pretend to be EZ when I was drunk.) Must have listened to this track thousands of times and I’m still not bored of it. Massive.
