On the grounds that a good DJ appreciates the opportunity to occasionally play styles outside of their regular comfort zone ... here's a revival mix that's a bit different to the norm.
This one marks the 25th anniversary of 1990, in my view, one of the most fascinating years for music. This was the point at which acid house and rave culture had caught on in the UK, but hadn't quite developed into the house/ dance scene that characterised the rest of the 90s. At the same time, there were still a lot of soul, funk and reggae sounds around - particularly that Soul II Soul-style rhythm. The result was a hybrid sound fusing all these elements that was very distinctive to 1990, and marked a turning point from one decade into another.
