| |            "an a-z of rave: smart e's to the source"           | |
| | this year i'm taking an alphabetical look at early 1990's rave | |
| | music: old skool hardcore and jungle plus cheesy top-40 dance! | |
| :----------------------------------------------------------------: |
| | the excellent suburban base label featured prominently in this | |
| | programme starting with two tracks from smart e's, their chart | |
| | hit 'sesame's treet' (which sampled the kiddies teevee show of | |
| | the same name) and the follow-up 'loo's control'. the band was | |
| | formed by chris howell - who also wrote prodigiously under the | |
| | names cru-l-t and luna c - and nick arnold and tim orton - who | |
| | went on to produce happy hardcore as bang! after another track | |
| | from c.j. bolland (this time using the moniker sonic solution) | |
| | i played three tunes from today's other major name on the sub- | |
| | base label, sonz of a loop da loop era, starting with the huge | |
| | anthem 'far out'. next up were two more massive tracks: 'dream | |
| | finder' by soundcorp and the lighter tune, a jungle classic by | |
| | dj ss. the show ended with two tunes from the source including | |
| | the timeless 'you got the love' from 1991 put together by john | |
| | truelove (who later founded the truelove label collective) who | |
| | hit on the lucky formula of taking frankie knuckles' '88 house | |
| | classic 'your love' and sticking candi staton's vocals on top! | |
