In the phone booth this week we heard a bit of house, a bit of techno, a bit of rave and a whole lot of drums and bass. The idea was to showcase one original banger, followed by an alternate version or remix released under the same label by the same artist. All of these tracks were produced around the same time or shortly after what you’ve heard before on this show, from the 90s and early 2000s

• ADULT. – Hand to Phone
• ADULT. – Hand to Phone (Cordless Mix)
• DJ Trace – Inception
• DJ Trace – Inception (After Dark Mix)
• Artificial Intelligence – Desperado
• Artificial Intelligence – Desperado (VIP Mix)
• John B – Up All Night
• John B – Up All Night (Epic Mix)
• L.A. Style – James Brown Is Dead
• L.A. Style – James Brown Is Dead (Deadly Remix)

That last track is a major chune and was a global hit from two relative unknowns out of the Netherlands. It’s been officially remixed over 20 times by artists from New York to Tokyo and everywhere in between. Also featured were two heavily influential DnB labels – Moving Shadow and Metalheadz. Stop in next week and you may hear the wailing of the damned, potentially some more sounds from these labels, or something else entirely.
