The Record Drop

One must never discuss 90's HARD TRANCE and HARD HOUSE without mentioning the impact that BABY DOC & JON THE DENTIST made on the scene. JON's incredible album, THE PYRAMID, was a staple in ACID TRANCE sets the world over. And this was after he and BABY DOC released their album, IN WORSHIP OF FALSE IDOLS. BABY DOC, of course, went on to dominate the HARD HOUSE scene with his unique interpretation of the genre. So, to further celebrate their impact, I've dug out a nice mishmash of some of my favorite BABY DOC & THE DENTIST releases, both solo and duo, and put together this fun little mix for everyone. Hopefully you dig it!

The aggressive nature of 90's dance music was a staple in the London ACID TECHNO scene and STAY UP FOREVER was no doubt the leader of this movement. Run by THE LIBERATOR DJ'S and originating in the squat party scene, ACID TECHNO become a main stage-peak time release at all-night raves over the world. Let's take a trip down memory lane with some of my favorite ACID TECHNO releases from STAY UP FOREVER.

More and more 90's! There's just so much great music from that era! This episode, rather than drop an hour of as many tracks as I could, features a 2 hour journey through trance and techno. It's a slow burn. I did break my own rules a bit as there are a few modern drops in the set, mostly of the techno variety, but otherwise, it's all late 90's, early 00's of some of the best trance in my crate.

So, pop in those headphones, block out the world and let's go on this journey together.

01. Humate - 3.1 (Bedrock Remix)

NEXT EPISODE: STAY UP FOREVER

We can't talk 90's club music without acknowledging the impact that HOUSE and BREAKS made on the scene! This funk-filled episode focuses solely on three artists who were played at every event, large and small. Namely, FATBOY SLIM, ARMAND VAN HELDEN and JOSH WINK. Their releases brought a whole new crowd out to our events that might not have embraced rave culture if not for this incredibly accessible style! Borrowing from 70's disco and funk records, these artists catapulted into superstardom.

I dug deep in the record crates and pulled out as many of their hits as I could remember in the hopes of taking you on a retrospective journey that will surely bring back some incredible memories!

The 90s excitement continues. Episode 2 of The Record Drop celebrates one of the UK underground’s most unique and underrated house music duos: The Sharp Boys.

Known for blending house music with disco grooves, funk rhythms, tribal percussion, and even harder UK club influences, The Sharp Boys created a sound that was energetic, playful, hypnotic, and unmistakably built for packed dancefloors.

Their productions and remixes became staples of late-90s UK club culture, bridging underground house music with crossover club energy while maintaining a distinctly British edge. From funky filtered grooves and disco-inspired hooks to tougher late-night club tracks, their catalogue remains a hidden gem of classic house music history.

Celebrating 90s club music begins now. Episode 1 of The Record Drop explores the underground trance label Hook Recordings, one of the key labels in the global 1990s trance movement.
