LISTEN
The Orb - Little Fluffy Clouds (Cumulonimbus Mix)

I used to sneak in to my older brothers room and listen to this weird track over and over!

  • The Orb - Little Fluffy Clouds (Cumulonimbus Mix)

    I used to sneak in to my older brothers room and listen to this weird track over and over!

  • Rebel Mc & Double Trouble - Street Tuff (Official Video)

    The first dance 12″ I ever bought was this.

  • Souls Of Mischief - From 93 Till Infinity (Best Quality)

    I love hip-hop, especially stuff from the 90s. I remember being the odd one out trying to play techno or house at parties, this was the sound that everybody was listening to.

  • Cypress Hill- The Phuncky Feel One (Instrumental)

    DJ Muggs is a genius.

  • Prodigy - Wind It Up

    My biggest heroes when I was young. My Beatles or Rolling Stones if you will.

  • Cari Lekebusch - Hela Inne (Drumcode 04)

    This was the sound of the rave scene in Stockholm, hard body techno music, I used to go wherever Adam Beyer, Cari Lekebusch, Jesper Dahlbäck or Alexi Delano played.

  • Bobby Forester - The Day The World Stood Still (Forester Speed Karate Mix)

    I remember DJ Sneak opening his set with this track at the Roskilde Festival in 1998. To me it still sounds super fresh!

  • Stephan-G & The Persuader "Kaos" (A) 1997

    The same year at Roskilde, the legendary Swedish label Svek had a showcase.
