| |        "an a-z of rave: tronik house to urban shakedown"       | |
| | 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 penultimate part of the a-z of rave kicked off with a huge | |
| | early moody techno classic from kevin saunderson - recorded as | |
| | tronik house - followed by 5 fantastic old skool hardcore cuts | |
| | from the 2 bad mice, both their own tunes and their remixes of | |
| | old skool anthems. next up was mickey finn's mix of u96's 'das | |
| | boot' (a movie-inspired techno track that stayed at the top of | |
| | the german chart for several weeks back in 1992) and then came | |
| | urban hype starting with the oft-neglected original version of | |
| | their cheesy chart smash - complete with the namecheck for the | |
| | firemen of trumpton - and continuing with two lesser-known and | |
| | rather nice mellow tracks of theirs from the same year. mickey | |
| | finn returned to close today's show in style (in collaboration | |
| | with aphrodite) with the huge anthemic track - 'some justice'. | |
