Progressive House · Public preview
Renaissance's 1998 two-disc resident showcase: Ian Ossia's broader, vocal-leaning CD1 and Nigel Dawson's darker, trance-facing CD2, with both discs playable here.
Progressive House · Public preview
If your memory of John Digweed starts with him standing next to Sasha, Sydney CD1 is where his solo identity becomes impossible to miss — deep, percussive and patient before Albion finally lets the light in.
Progressive House · Public preview
Dig this out if you only remember Sasha for the huge trance years — CD1 of 1998’s Global Underground 009: San Francisco is him still deep in progressive house, with the brighter pull only just starting to show.
Classic track · Free
No big hook, no obvious drop, just Rowan Blades and Simon Noble grinding away at the same dark groove for what feels like ten minutes even when it isn’t. This is the record that separated the DJs who understood tension from the ones who just wanted a tune, and it still sounds properly muscular in a way a lot of late-90s progressive doesn’t.
