Notes:
Packaged in three card wallets with 24-page booklet in outer card container. Track 2-10 is not credited as the instrumental version. From sleeve-notes: An album of the classic tracks that defined club culture. 82-86 shows electro bleeding into house. Eclectic times before the rush (all puns intended). It is mixed by Dave Rofe, a card carrying member of the club from day one and current resident at Pleasure. Dave is well respected. This mix shows a puzzlingly underestimated DJ taking some sharp corners in top gear. It ends, inevitably in Chicago with the rough and ready magic of early house. High times. 87-91 is an impossible avalanche of stone to the bone classics mixed by Jon Dasilva, described by none other than Roger Sanchez as one of the finest DJs in Britain. Play it your-self and tell me Roger needs his ears syringing. By this time the fresh intensity of h-h-h-house music had set the pace and 'podium' (a strange word) found a place in hypnotised heads from council houses. 92-97 displays the present and the future. Who'd have thought we'd have ended up here with souped-up UK producers burning off Big American gas-guzzlers? This mix is the skillful work of Pleasure resident Pete Robinson who, week in week out, gives guests at the club something to worry about: from trunks on deepness to cheese-free euphoria. The old school influences of some of these records remind us of the past while plotting their own future.
