Reviews
"No Smoke - Africa" samples "John Rocca - I want it to be real"- Forgotten gem from the early days of the UK house scene - the sound of pirate radio in London
Seminal UK deep house with some superb acid lines and a raw, pioneering, attitude. A key peice of the UK dance culture and as such should be far better known.
Edited 8 years agoThe original & best version of Let The Warriors Dance, only on this comp.
TB-303 right up in the mix, and the breakbeat sounds massive : )- Edited 16 years agoGround breaking LP, features breakbeats heavily and probably a precursor to the whole UK hardcore phenomenom. Worth it alone for the Addis Posse track, and the Bang The Party dub version of 'Bang Bang You're Mine', although whether this is the original version I'm not sure.
