The Record Drop

We can't talk 90's club music without acknowledging the impact that HOUSE and BREAKS made on the scene! This funk-filled episode focuses solely on three artists who were played at every event, large and small. Namely, FATBOY SLIM, ARMAND VAN HELDEN and JOSH WINK. Their releases brought a whole new crowd out to our events that might not have embraced rave culture if not for this incredibly accessible style! Borrowing from 70's disco and funk records, these artists catapulted into superstardom.
I dug deep in the record crates and pulled out as many of their hits as I could remember in the hopes of taking you on a retrospective journey that will surely bring back some incredible memories!
