Burial is seen as a big influence in the world of EDM, even though he made most of his music before the explosion happened and it isn’t dance music per se. Instead, he created what we now know as Future Garage, a genre with emotional and ambient styles over complex Breakbeats. Not only that, he […]
Throwback Thursday: Aphex Twin – Windowlicker
Aphex Twin is well known for his unique synthesised style of music, often with weird names or sounds. Windowlicker is his most famous song, starting off with a smooth yet glitch beat then building up to a synthesised bass at the end of the song. That alone was enough to make it popular, yet the […]
Throwback Thursday: Madison Avenue – Don’t Call Me Baby
The duo behind this song might have only released one album (of which this was the most popular single), but this song is one of the biggest House songs to ever come from Australia. The reason behind it getting so big is obvious once you hear it: its funky bassline coupled with the unassuming yet […]
Throwback Thursday: Roni Size & Reprazent – Brown Paper Bag

Even though this sounds like one of the most early 80’s songs out there, Moving On Up was actually the product of M People’s 1993 album Elegant Slumming. Featuring strong vocals, 80’s synths, beautiful instrumentation and a House beat, it’s no surprise that club-goers were confused as to why they hadn’t heard this presumably old […]
Throwback Thursday: Safri Duo – Played-A-Live (The Bongo Song)
If I didn’t know better, I’d expect a song about bongos to be Africa themed instead of an uplifting Trance song, but that’s what it is. With bongos of course. The secret to its success is its unexpected inclusion in club playlists, which then led to exposure on MTV, eventually leading to it being played […]
