Mindset to Cycle is one of my favourite records ever. I still give it a regular airing, even though it came out when I was 20.
And I am 31 on Monday. But that fucking bassline, when that hits it nearly makes me do a sexwee.

I used to play at their 'Big Kahuna' club nights,
from whence their name came, the first one was in the bar of a hotel in Finsbury Park and was really, really shit. They had J Saul Kane at one of them, he was excellent. I really admire that man.

J Saul Kane was somewhat overlooked I always thought.
His Depth Charge records were well ahead of their time- he was doing massive breakbeats with Kung Fu samples way before Big Beat (remember that?) was even thought of. I have a Mo Wax record by Nigo (of Bathing Ape fame) with a Depth Charge mix on it. Him and Jack Dangers only got the props they deserve from the underground heads, which is sadly always the way.

He also did this*:

A rave classic from the golden age. I fucking love it - there's a better mix on the other side though.

*with someone else I think

I saw 808 State DJing last year.
A mate of mine is well into his techno and rave- he has had records released on Djaxx. He has also heard a tune of his get played by Ellen Allien at a clubnight during Sonar a few years back- that must be an incredible feeling.

He is also doing a demo package for Ovum- if it comes to fruition I will hit you the fuck up. He's rather ravey, but impeccably produced and very very sleek techno. I've DJd at gigs where he plays live- bit of a strange mix, me doing techy breaks then live acid techno, but it sort of works.
