Ho ho ho. I don't think Goldie's gotten within hailing distance of this kind of stuff. Not really IDM per se so I won't bore the list, but this was darkside/techstep at its finest and it rocked my world.

that was exactly what it was. while i can't give you track names, but labels to watch if you dig this kind of thing: emotif, metalheadz, no-u-turn, reinforced...artists ed rush, dj trace, a little bit of *newer* goldie stuff (such as the new Terminator record out anytime now), a bit of doc scott's stuff...it's all over the board. dj traces' 'mutant revisited' (aformentioned by me) was played like six times that night. rewinds all around... are you looking for the title of a specific track? the stormer that hit all the headz that night was a secret selection to be released months from now... mikebee
