Remembering a golden time for D&B with a mix of the tracks that I was frequently hearing tear up the dancefloors of Ipswich and London.
Between the development of Techstep and the emergence of Liquid Funk, these were the hard hitting tracks from the likes of Virus, Ram and Bad Company that were pleasing our ears on a weekly basis, usually played by Andy C, Ed Rush & Optical, Grooverider and more.
