Yesterday's Trainspottle was Marvellous Cain & Bizzy B - Everyday. (play today's)

The producer team up of Marvellous Cain & Bizzy B delivers varied breaks and basslines, hip hop samples galore, and is topped off by the rally cry vocals of Tempo O'Neil. An instant jump-up classic.

Yesterday's Trainspottle was Jeru The Damaja - Me Or The Papes (Dillinja Remix).



Jeru the Damaja, known for taking chances with his art in 90s hip-hop, remixed by Dillinja, no stranger to expressing his own sound, found here in that evolving '97 period applying his techstep explorations in a fun way to the rhymes & samples.

Trainspottle no. 79 was Undercover Agent - Dub Plate Circles (remix). (try today's?)

Born of pirate radio Undercover Agent and Juice/Splash crew consistently supplied the underground with jungle & jump-up d'n'b from mid-90s on. Solid beats & a deep wobbly bassline on this one perfect for '96.

Yesterday's Trainspottle was Bill Riley - In At The Deep End.



Injecting jazz & rolling beats with Full Cycle compatriots during many creative years Bill also delivered gems on his own Protocol label. This is a DJ's tune: long hypnotising build and Reese bassline taking it higher, heard in Bristol-friendly sets & also down Metalheadz.

Yesterday's Trainspottle was Total Science - Taxman. (play today's)



Firmly establishing themselves as turn of the century leaders with consistent high-grade productions showing their experience connecting hardcore sounds with sharp, modern day beats & dubwise basslines this was one of a number of tunes that couldn't be missed.

Yesterday's Trainspottle was UFO - Something Out There (Ray Keith Samba Mix).



Samba? Bringing something a little different to a heavyweight remix collection. Crafty with keys & vocals then coming thru with his tearing brand of Dread drum & bass. Even Nookie helping on engineer buttons. Whatever it is that's out there, it does the trick.

Yesterday's Trainspottle was Lenny Fontana - Spread Love (Nu:Tone remix).


Cementing his rapid rise into upper echelons of liquid d'n'b this remix has garage house sound of the original with tight breaks & groove. Perfectly capturing the current/future sound of Hospital and his integral part in it. Fast Soul Music.

Forgot about Trainspottle #86 - Gang Related - Rukus.



While prolifically breaking new ground in beats & sound for years, the Bristol crew always had one eye on the weekend keeping their Dope Dragon imprint stocked with fresh dancefloor tunes. DJ Krust brings the jump-up with usual subtle complexity here.

Yesterday's Trainspottle (No.87) was Blue Sonix - This Feeling (High Contrast's Ultramaximised Disco Dub Mix). (play today's)



Like Stateside Boston/NYC-based Phuturistic Bluez, Blue Sonix held his own for years releasing quality jazzy/liquid funk on a number of labels. Who better to bring his lounge-y tune from 2000 into disco-y 2002 with a remix than High Contrast on his own meteoric rise.

Yesterday's Trainspottle was LTJ Bukem - Horizons. (try today's)



Archetypal of Danny Bukem's jungle/d'n'b vision & logical progression from pulse of rave mornings to new ears. Summed by samples of poet Maya Angelou at American President Clinton's inauguration: "The horizon leans forward, Offering you space to place new steps of change".

Yesterday's Trainspottle #89 was Ed Rush & Optical - Pacman (Ram Trilogy remix).


Taking Ed Rush & Optical's neurofunk groove and adding a frantic Ram Trilogy energy makes for an irresistible tune to DJs & dancers alike. Fun arena-sized killer.

Big ups Shivaxi for this acapella classic:

Yesterday's Trainspottle was Tom and Jerry - Airfreshner (Teebone VIP Remix).



Adding to the Tom and Jerry (4Hero) blueprint of this summer soundsystem bubbler with its soulful melody & ragga samples Teebone ruffs it up with breaks for that extra VIP dubplate treatment as he did with many productions. Junglism.

Yesterday's Trainspottle was Stakka & Skynet - Decoy.


Hot on the heels of the rapid rise of the techy neurofunk sound this duo produced tunes with a technical precision that would inspire and help set the pace for years to come. 2001 dancefloor stomper.

Yesterday's Trainspottle was I Kamanchi - Never Can Tell.



Kamanchi put more of a face on their already established studio personas but it's Krust & Die's production that shines thru. Sonic elements and fat bass with strong beats for another crowdpleasing Bristol roller from the masters.

Yesterday's Trainspottle was Prisoners Of Technology - So Damn Tuff.



Prisoners Of Technology productions with fun hip-hop samples, tight beats and phat basslines brought b-boy attitude and party rocking vibes nailing a sweet spot between techstep dnb and jump-up jungle.

Yesterday's Trainspottle was Konflict - Beckoning.



Coming into their own as leaders in the Virus-influenced pack of techier d'n'b producers Kemal & Rob Data brought influential drums & neuro sounds as part of Renegade Hardware's turn-of-century rise to the forefront of the sound.

Yesterday's Trainspottle no.99 was The Invaderz - Wintersun.



The Invaderz' ability to produce a full-sounding d'n'b groove combining deep liquid funk vibes with stronger beats and basslines helped them rise rapidly in the scene and release on a number of labels.
