The track that i mentioned in first post was big in europe. I read about it in mixmag right around when knights of the jaguar was breaking out. Napster was still around then.

Hehe I listened to it a few weeks ago. What really makes that track so nice is the thick bassline. It's extreamly repetetive but works very well. Also read somewhere that the sampler he had for that vocal sample was so primitive and had such a small amount of memory that he couldn't record longer samples.

that new order track remixed for Blade. Basically as simple as it gets. Some of the tracks listed especially the trance ones have lots and lots of layers. Some Venga boys and early Brookly Bounce also comes to mind.

one of the most important electro songs of all time.

pretty simple

not sure if it was "big" in the grand scheme of things, but def made a impact in the dance world.

There was a host of early 2000's UK garage that was so amateur in production that they were literally being knocked up on PlayStation 1 music-making software using all canned loops. These songs were all pretty big within the garage scene:

Musical Mob - Pulse X
DJ Deekline - I Don't Smoke
Oxide and Neutrino - Bound 4 Da Reload (Casualty)
Dizzee Rascal - I Luv U
