Vienna - Tell Me (Innerspace mix)

I remember playing that (2 copies!) in London warming up for Luv Dup in '94 (I think). The Southerners had never heard it, but there was a swarm round the decks trying to find out what it was. So that's probably my favourite - so simple and floaty, every time I hear it I get a tingle...

Ack, there's too many... there's a temptation to list favourite records but I'll stick to ones where the riff is paramount...

Mr Fingers - So Glad
Ron Trent - Altered States
Subculture - The Voyage
Beat Club - Dreams Were Made...
Orbital - Chime (is there a more recognisable riff...?)
Doi-oing - Good Feeling

Could go on and on...

Think jammer menioned rubb it in, thats a tune that. Ive just got me grubby mitts on a tune that samples the main riff out of that, belgian it is, by Supertronic and its actually better than rubb it in. Mint tune:cool:

Yeah - Supertronic Co EP on Round & Round... love all the tunes on that! Their volume 2 is pretty good as well.

Jinny - I Need Your Love (Pump Version) :axe: :axe: :axe: :axe: :axe: phones:
Try dropping one in 1990 and not nodding/smiling simultaneously to that beast :mad:

Tis a beast fella and make no mistake about it. I have been known to chuck it into my sets and it never ever gets a bad reaction regardless of the crowd. Even my mum likes it
