About this deal

Go' samples both '80s rock Tones on Tali's song of the same name, as well as soul singer Jocelyn Brown's r'n'b Hit Factory single from 1985, ' Love's Gonna Get You'. Perhaps best known from its role in the bathroom club scene in the movie Basic Instinct, 'Blue' by Chicago artist William LaTour is a track that played a pivotal role in bringing dance-pop and new wave elements into early house sounds. Long before becoming a staple of dorm-room posters, Wu-Tang was a scrappy crew rising out of the slums of Staten Island.

And wouldn’t it be brilliant if – in some small, tangential way – the economic fate of the Eurozone had been influenced two decades later by some lanky singer from Yorkshire? It’s a dazzling testament to everything the Fugee can do: she sings, she raps, she packs in hook after hook, and she shows her empathy by urging both men and women not to become sexual pawns. Dance Anthems: Pure 90s Presented by Nikkie Hawkins-Riozzi takes you on a musical journey back to songs that you will all know and love! First released in 1990 as the b-side to Moby's debut single 'Mobility' in 1990 on Instinct Records, this is the track that first put the electronic music powerhouse on the map.It's one of those rare tracks that feels like it can play for an eternity without anyone batting an eyelash. Like his idol Paul Westerberg, Armstrong had a way of making loserdom sound like rebellion, and by the time the song transitions from Mike Dirnt’s signature rubbery bassline into its final mosh-along chorus, he’s turned compulsive self-pleasure into an act of defiance. Long before he was palling around with Martha Stewart, Snoop was making waves by nearly stealing Dr. Like Roberta Flack’s heartbreaking original in the ’70s, ‘Killing Me Softly’ sat at Number One in the UK charts for five weeks.

It also encapsulated breakbeat junkie DJ Shadow’s uncanny ability to construct new worlds by unearthing carefully chosen samples – in this case the piano line from jazz composer David Axelrod’s ‘The Human Abstract’ – and layering simple but hypnotic beats and melodies over the top. Not our words, but those of springy-haired, eternally angry singer Zach De La Rocha, whose repeated rebellious chant in this anti-establishment rock-rap anthem started a million moshpits in the early ’90s. No one before or since has done more to justify the gangsta rap lifestyle than Christopher Wallace, on the lead single to his immense debut album ‘Ready to Die’. Ministry of Sound: Anthems 90's" is an exciting collection to have for those who like various artists collections from a fusion of 90's dance and/or electronica. Whether the ‘90s was the greatest decade for music is mostly a generational debate, but as you’ll hear, one thing’s for sure: it was never boring.Like the Seattle superstars on ‘In Utero’, Dorset’s very own Polly Jean Harvey turned to punk rock recording engineer Steve Albini (known for his raw, unvarnished sound) for her second album ‘Rid of Me’. Deleting this artist may remove other artists and scrobbles from your library - please handle this with caution! Other bands tagged as such — Ride, Slowdive, Lush, Chapterhouse, The Telescopes — all did some wonderful things with noise and melody. Drugs, murder, HIV: Lisa ‘Left Eye’ Lopez’s verses treat life's tragedies with wisdom, patience and soul, before her rap preaches the power of hope and self-belief. But this epic trip best shows the confidence and eclecticism that allowed Ed ’n’ Tom to lead the Big Beat pack.

Released under Josh Wink's Winx moniker, this unsettling underground staple is a track that has seared itself into the brains of numerous '90s ravers (for better or for worse). But ‘“G” Thang’ still resonated as an introduction, simply because it sounded unlike anything hip-hop had heard before — a meticulously crafted gangsta symphony, built from smokey wah guitar, whistling synths and creeping bass, all flowing smoother than a river of Courvoisier. In England, Oasis and the rest of the Britpop lot left nearly as big a mark as Nirvana and the other Seattleites. His lo-fi, sepia-saturated take on a school concert that descends into madness – complete with slo-mo cheerleaders, smashed up guitars and smoke and fire in a sports hall full of sweaty headbanging teens – was as disturbing and anarchic as the song itself.It’s almost hard to believe, but years before DP started jamming with Pharrell and soundtracking catwalk shows they produced a whole album of blissful, banging house in ‘Homework’, the jewel in the crown of which was "Da Funk. If you can remember the 90s, you were a lightweight (or weren’t living them properly) – let Jo Whiley remind you of what you’ve forgotten with this sizzling anthem-packed party to end them all. The mix of chunky breakbeats, sludgy electronics and wide-eyed carnage was the perfect rhythmical remedy to those who fancied a dab of dance music (and those who wanted to find out what the hell rave culture might have been about), but just couldn’t get to grips with the eight-minute Chicago house workouts of the time.
