Originally released in 1993 on Planet E.

Q-Loop proper — fourteen minutes of mesmerising, dread minimalism — and the vinyl debuts of Q1.2 and Mutism.

The very first Basic Channel.
A quarter of an hour of Enforcement, plus a Jeff Mills remix, and an ameliorative dub.
Still thrillingly no-prisoners and 100% unmissable.

Honest Jon’s presents Mark Ernestus from Rhythm And Sound spinning 45s alongside DJ Pete from Substance and Scion Versions, with a live set from Sleeparchive.

Besides Basic Channel and Maurizio, in 1994 Mark and Moritz set up Main Street, for song-oriented, vocal house. This first single whips an Isleys b-line, and features Londoner Andy Cunningham, plus a Chez n’ Trent.

Increasingly interested in making reggae, the Basic Channel duo first recorded with Tikiman in 1995, laying the foundations of Burial Mix.

First in the M series, from 1992: furiously banging, with a stone-classic, textbook-Detroit UR remix. Don’t miss Eleye: deep, urgent, breathless and explosive; another killer.

Utterly timeless dance music (from twenty-five years ago). Peerless dubwise techno.
We could listen to the dub for days. We probably have, already.
An absolute must.
