I was speaking to a mate in Leeds who I DJed with about 4 years ago (when Pjanoo was out on Pryda and not yet signed to MOS). We both played it that night at different times and it absolutely went off - one of the best reactions I think I ever got to a track when playing out, it helped that the room was rammed. For that reason alone I still have a soft spot for it - even if it has been overplayed to absolute death now

Welcome Kommy

That Mario Piu track is absolutely shocking and always was! I did quite like "I Can Hear Voices" but really wished there was a dub mix of it at the time (I was a nipper though and we all liked some shite when we were young). "Nappy Hardcore" was just terrible but I'm not sure it's a classic track!

I'm off to Cuba at the end of January and get back just prior to that event - fair to say I'm just a little excited!

Hopefully you make it this time eh?! I will be severely jet lagged that weekend so unfortunately I cannot attend

I just never got the whole Sonique thing full stop - was always surprised Jules supported her tracks so much too.

In the right context I still love that, just has something really cool, despite the huge overplay and the fact it hasnt aged all that well

Welcome Matt

Welcome El Capitan

I'm glad you didn't embed that Dynamite song - remember it being everywhere when I was in Spain two years ago and the girls we were with over there singing it every five seconds. Does my nut

I love "True Faith" - seeing New Order play it live at Benicassim in the summer was magnificent too!

Welcome aboard

My sole knowledge of music of this ilk comes from my gym - we have audio "piped" through (as it's a chain) and are forced to listen to awful music while working out. Before you deride me for not wearing earphones and taking an iPod - I train with my brother and/or mates so the sociable aspect is needed!

Have to hand it to Lou Bega - he knew he had his one hit and then gracefully went away counting his royalties

One of my mates used to think "Waterfalls" by TLC had the lyrics "Go, go Jason Waterfall" in the chorus

I think I know the track to which you refer and I thought I recognised it too when I heard it - unable to assist any further though unfortunately!
