Floorplay
Any fans of Russell Coulthart aka Floorplay and Disco Volante? I've always liked his work and he did some fantastic tracks and remixes during the 90's. I believe he was the owner of the recently defunct Automatic Records.
My favourites:
Destiny Angel - You Take Me Higher (my favourite)
Orbit 90 - Diamond Back
Floorplay - Automatic
Disco Volante - Contact
Union Jack - Red Herring (Disco Volante Mix)
Random Access - Majestic (Floorplay Mix)
Victoria Newton - Martha's Harbour (Floorplay Remix)
I've got the 1998 Automatic Anthems CD which is a fantastic collection of several past and unreleased tracks on Automatic Records and comes highly recommended.

I really like Destiny 3 by Destiny Angel. I didn't realise that was Russel Floorplay. I also have is collab. with J00f - Come on Baby, which I am not so fond of, but it is ok.
Because Destiny 3 was one of the first vinyl I ever owned, that was before I ever considered using the internet for find info about tracks, and I have no other tracks by this guy, he simply passed me by.
But you have definately stirred a need in me now to listen to that track again! Though I remember it quite well.
Edit: Generally you seem to have good taste, in music & women... so I'll definately consider this an opportunity to spend more money, but I'll wait to see which tracks seem most popular! Heheh.
I like their Disco Volante outings better myself, but they've done some great stuff with this moniker as well. The remix of Martha's Harbour comes to mind.

Heh, thanks. Not too many people these days seem to share my tastes.
Annoyingly there used to be samples on the Automatic Records website of all their releases but since they're no more the samples appear to have vanished.
Just remembered I also have Destiny Angel - Elevate/Deviate from 1997 on vinyl which sounds like a cross between the Floorplay sound and the Hook Recordings style. Both pretty good tracks too.
