Absolutely beautiful track by a true old skool legend, The Invisible Man. The original, released back in ’93 on Timeless was a killer tune but with the ’94 refix Mr Mew took the track on a more chilled vibe. The pads, vocals and piano all together from around 2:00 onwards is simply divine and when it all drops out at 4:05 it’s pure goose bumps!

Nookie is one of my all-time favourite producers. He’s been behind so many huge tunes, loads of which people don’t really realise were engineered by him (most of Ray Keith’s biggest tracks, for instance). From his hardcore outings, through jungle and on to D&B he has consistently put out top quality releases. This one is just perfect for the current summer that we’re experiencing here in sunny London. Bought out back in ’95 on the legendary Reinforced Records this one is a lovely mash up of female vocals, rolling beats and that trademark piano sound that often pops up in Nookie’s tunes.

Absolutely massive jungle tune that many may recognise but not know the name of. From 1994, the golden era of jungle, and released on the wicked Metamorphosis label that also brought us the huge Dub War by Dance Conspiracy a couple of years earlier. I love the Jefree – Mr Fix It sample in there that pops up half way through. Such a tune <3

Best remix of this absolute classic that a lot of people don’t actually know about. It came out on a super limited and hard to find 12″ back in ’96. At the time I actually passed on buying it thinking it was just a repress of the original with a funky etched b-side. Was gutted to then learn that it was the remix that I’d been after for a while and that there were no copies left anywhere.
12 years later and several quids dished out and I’m glad I’ve got a copy of it. This tune used to mash up the place with it’s rougher take on the melodic original
Can’t believe that this only has 15 views on YouTube. What’s that all about?

The rather overlooked b-side to Monty’s massive Warp 9 Mr. Zulu that came out on Pascal’s Frontline label. Very famous Kool & The Gang sample laid over the think break and some 808 bass. Pretty much as simple as they come but it’s a hidden gem that people should play more.
