01. Orbital - Satan
Whichever direction I took this mix, Orbital were always going to be there. This track kicked up a storm when they played it live, and the Butthole Surfers sample makes for a great intro.
02. Palefield Mountain - Theme From PM3
I found this while searching through Stress' back catalogue for old epic house gems. It has an incredibly powerful sound for its tempo.
03. Jay-Z - 99 Problems
Rick Rubin has produced a lot of terrible nu metal in his time, but he also made some wonderful hip-hop/rock hybrids with people like Run DMC and the Beasties. This is my favourite of them.
04. Pendulum - Slam
I know a lot of people hate them, but I still play their first album. Back in 2005 I hammered it all summer and made a dozen copies for friends. Yes it's "accessible", but it's also smartly produced and brimming with ideas.
05. Abba - Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)
Abba = crap wedding disco, right? One day my friend started raving about Abba Gold and insisted I heard it. Now our official pre-club preparation is blasting this while getting drunk and playing Pro Evolution Soccer.
06. The KLF - What Time Is Love? (Live At Trancentral)
When I was about 16, MTV Dance used to have a late-night show called Back To The Old Skool, and I would stay up into the early hours hearing classic dance records. That's where I discovered The KLF and this track.
07. Phuture - Acid Trax
I don't really need to justify this one, do I? You can mix it with so many things, and everyone knows the original already, so I had fun with it.
08. Madonna - Like A Prayer
My Dad had the Immaculate Collection on VHS, and the video with burning crosses and black Jesus stuck with me. This is probably the track that gave me a love of gospel and blues.
09. M/A/R/R/S - Pump Up The Volume
Hearing Way Out West sample this reminded me how much I love the original. Another one I'm way too young to remember, but thanks to Back To The Old Skool it's still part of my musical youth.
10. Muse - Supermassive Black Hole
I don't like Muse, but I loved this one.
11. 2 Bit Pie - Fly
I missed this by a year or two because I didn't know Fluke had changed their name. I'm a massive Fluke fan, and this is definitely one of my favourites from them.
12. Infadels - Give Yourself To Me
This was used on a phone advert in the UK around 2005, and everyone went nuts trying to figure out who it was. I found out by chance when I saw these guys supporting Faithless.
13. The Future Sound of London - We Have Explosive
Back in 2003 I found myself in the Virgin Megastore in downtown Disney, Florida, staring at an incredible electronic music section. This EP was one of many things I snapped up.
14. Yuzo Koshiro - Fighting In The Street
I'd heard this hundreds of times as a kid in crappy MIDI form, but when my videogame-loving friend at university played the MP3 I was blown away.
15. Supereal - United State Of Love (Aorta Mix)
Guerilla's legendary Dub House Disco series featured stone-cold classics from the likes of Fuzzy Logic, Spooky and Dr. Atomic, but this quirky track is one of my personal favourites.
16. New Order - Blue Monday
We all know it, we all love it, so I'll just play the outro which is my favourite part.
17. Man With No Name - Teleport
And now for some trance. Hold on tight, unicorn lovers. First heard this on Oakie's Perfecto Fluoro compilation and instantly loved it.
18. LSG - Netherworld
This is Oliver Lieb's take on epic trance. Not the first Lieb track I heard by any means, but definitely the one where I saw the hype.
19. Jeff Wayne - The Eve Of The War (Tilt's Red Dawn Mix)
I used to love the album when I was a kid, and it used to scare the shit out of me. This is a great breaks remix from Tilt, but I've only really used the iconic intro.
20. LTJ Bukem - Horizon
I don't give a fuck what Simon Reynolds or anyone else thinks: this is the best drum 'n bass record ever made.
