2 In A Room - Somebody In The House Say Yeah - YouTube

808 State - Pacific State (Original Extended Version) - YouTube

Sample & Hold - Sample & Hold - YouTube
(No one has ever heard of it, but it was the first 12" I bought when I was 8)

Minute Men - I like it - YouTube

very difficult to pick 5, (in no order)


genacide 2 - narra mine
X-ray experiments - take no chance
BPSI -Alphawave
guy called gerald- 28 gun bad boy
Invisible man - The bell tune


they were the records that most blew my mind bitd, with some others

Give me a few days and this list will be changed, but for the moment here's mt top 5.

#1 Nino - The Gun (I See It Around Me). This was one of the first tunes I picked up upon on those ole Telstar 'Kaos Theory' CD's, and one of the only piano tunes I liked back then. Was more into my breakbeats.
Nino - Future Of Latin / The Gun (Vinyl) at Discogs

#2 Doc Scott - N.H.S. (Reinforced Shout). I had this on loads of mixtapes and that gnarly mantasm riff midway through just got me every time. Loved the busyness and speed too.
Doc Scott - Last Action Hero EP (Vinyl) at Discogs

#3 Conquering Lion - Dub Plate Special (Ruff Cut). Another mixtape classic this. Took me ages to get this i.d.-ed, but those 'Can you set it, soundbwoy can you set it, set it' coupled with the junglistic breaks made this a favourite.
Conquering Lion - Lion Of Judah (Vinyl) at Discogs

#4 Nebula II - X-Plore H-Core (Remix). When I heard a soundclip of this I knew I had to have this track. Dark as hell and that Sheffield warehouse style bleep section in the drop is magic.
Nebula II - X-Plore H-Core / Peace Maker (Remixes) (Vinyl) at Discogs

#5 LFO (The Leeds Warehouse Mix). The original Sheffield track for me this. I remember hearing this on Top Of The Pops and thinking it was totally otherworldly. Pure classic!
LFO - LFO (Vinyl) at Discogs

Can't really do a top 5 as there's so many quality tunes from back then, plus depends on my mood

But here's 5 tunes important to me from back then:

'Nu-Matic's 'Into A Dream' is bleedin' quality Renegade! Those hoover riffs seal the deal on that one. The band had quite a few goodies tucked away on their AA-Sides!

They did a fair few decent tracks - 1 half of the team is an early Bay B Kane.

i've tried so many times to answer this question, 10 is hard but 5 near on impossible..
the only way i could get close was by breaking it down by years but mood depending that could change..lol

1 thing is for sure, the tracks i choose now are not the same as back then. i guess thats because i can see into the goldfish bowl now instead of then being in there and wondering what else was to come ( if that makes sense ??) 88 - 94 is time locked and instead of skipping through tracks back then, i'm now listening.

88 - 90 ( no particular order )

Victor romeo - love will find a way
Fallout - the morning after
Renegade sondwave - the phantom
ragga twins - lamborghini
fast eddie - my melody

1990

helter skelter - radio babylon
Satin Storm - First EP - Satin Storm
LFO - LFO
Nation 12 - listen to the Drummer
GTO - Pure

1991 ( too hard to choose )

HHFD - Total confusion
Trigger - Stratoshpere
X Static - Free
Razor Boy & Mirror Man - Cutter Mix
The Prodigy - Your Love
The house crew - keep the fire burning

1992/93 (... now it's hurting )

Automation-Espionage-Remix
Tic Tac Toe - 456
Sacred - Do It Together (The Baggy's Mix)
dance conspiracy - dubwar
Kaotic Chemistry - LSD EP - Space cakes
Babylon Timewarp - Durban Poison
The Invisible Man - The End (Drug Induced Psychosis Mix)
dark and moody vol 1 - aa1
Cloud 9 - bugged
Edge of darkness - Come together

1994

Omni Trio - Thru The vibe
Dream Team (VIP Remix) - Yeah man
.......


that made my brain hurt!!!

Impossible... I couldn't even give you the top 5 per year as every vinyl i get could be included...

These 5 could be...

4 Hero - b2. Kirk's Back (For The Theifs Mix) (1990)
SL2 - DJ's Take Control (Original Version) (1991)
DJ Seduction - You Can Dance (1992)
Rhythm Section - Feel the rhythm (1991)
Altern8 - Real Time Status (Hand Of God Remix) (1991)

... another 5 which also could be...

The Scientist - The Bee (Base Mix) (1990)
Awesome 3 - Head Strong (1992)
Bizarre Inc - Playing With Knives (1991)
N-Joi - Techno Gangsters (1990)
M.A.N.I.C. - I'm Coming Hardcore (1992)

.... and I could list dozens of 5's

Derrick May - Strings of Life
DJ Wildchild - Let me tell You
DJ Dextrous - King the Jungle
Doc Scott - Surgery (Remix)
Cosmo & Dibs - Sonic Rush

Well, its alternating weakly, but these 5 are often in it:
