When I heard this song for the first time in 1996 I instantly fell in love with it, and I’m still getting goosebumps when I hear the break in the full version (this is only the second part of The Box). But I bet you didn’t know that the main actress in the clip is Tilda Swinton, whom I just saw on DVD in the excellent ‘Michael Clayton‘.
Perhaps the best tune from this legendary techno outfit. Already dating back 10 years, this tune still sounds as heavy as it did then: a rolling chord monster! Enjoy the non-vocal version below. Switch to 480p for better sound quality!
killer tune! This totally defines the sound of parties around the time I was allowed to go clubbing 
I’ve always loved this kind of techno and I still loathe the harder minimal approach it took soon after 
But this track is just MADNESS!!! 
Great post!
I went through my collection of Calibre vinyls. It’s been two or three years since I bought any drum’n'bass, let alone something from Calibre. Hearing all his tunes back, I think ‘Bullets’ really sticks out (and the guy has made tens of true gems). The sadness, the melancholy, the atmosphere, the melody, the pace, everything is so perfect. What a f*cking classic tune!
Essential records in your life. Everybody has some of them, and all are very personal, all have a story. Every time I play ‘On The Nile’ by Peshay, I read the same story in my mind, I see the setting, I hear the actors and feel the mood. My story is about hearing something totally different than what I’ve heard before. About putting the needle on a record for the very first time. The mood is warm, exciting, sheer pleasure. The actor is my brother. He bought my defining record somewhere in 1997. Time to thank him for that, I guess
No introduction needed for drum’n'bass classic ‘Mutant Jazz’. Sax, panflutes, pads and snare-melodies are the perfect setting for late summer evenings.
And yes, this featured as well on the brilliant compilation Freezone 2 by DJ Morpheus from Brussels (check his bio, Morpheus has a serious musical history!).
A classic Bristol soundsystem anthem, remastered and re-released on Unearthed, Punch Drunk’s new sister label.
Saturday evening classic! I’m slowly starting to get my list together of best albums of the noughties (2000-2009) and then I can’t forget ‘Dislocated Genius’ of course, probably my favourite dance-record of 2005. I saw Chelonis R. Jones once live and remember having a somewhat religious experience when the deep bassline changed in this tune at 1.37. Seriously. Together with Booka Shade’s ‘Movements’ the best album of Get Physical Records ever. Welcome to The Church of Deep House.
Rings Around Saturn is without any doubt my favourite Photek tune. The sweetness of the rain in the background with the bird’s song, the pads, the bass and the perfect drum programming make this song a delight to listen. Makes me smile everytime I hear it. Classic!!
