When i was a teenager, getting into proper dance music my main source for it was Radio 1's Essential Mixes. I used to record them religiously, every Saturday night/Sunday morning, 2am-4am. I've still got all the tapes in fact.
2 DJs in particular fast became favourites of mine thanks to the above and thanks to their monthly world tour sets in '98 & '99 - Paul Oakenfold and Carl Cox. I've done loads of music thanks to Oakenfold's influence but never Coxy not knowingly anyway. Until now that is.
A track Cox used to play in virtually every set was called Rock The Jam by Phocus aka Vincent De Moor. It was an absolute banger, had a class, sort of rapper/MC style vocal hook which made it instantly stand out.
I showed it to my mate Tasso recently and with his tech trance expertise and know how we have remixed it together in said style!
Its not got the green light for an official release so we are going to give it away soon so keep um peeled for that!
