1991's "If Only" runs a trance edge wide and bright across the top of the breaks, and then the drums come back under it and just roll. The pretty part and the heavy part never argue.

I had it round twice and the grin was there both times. Put it on when the lights go wide, fam. It knows what it wants from a dancefloor.

Then [BORDERS] came through and the sector deepened.

[BORDERS] built "Eternity" out of air and a drag in the drums, with a garage shuffle sitting under all that reverb that never steps forward. I caught myself leaning toward the speaker like the tune was about to say something. It didn't. It just kept going. He put out a record after this called A Remedy For My Sorrow, so you know what he was carrying while he made it. Sad the way a dancefloor goes when the lights come up. Put it on when the night has already gone quiet, fam.

Then Indivision closed the day.

"Don't Leave Me This Way" dropped in January 2020, Indivision's own tune on their own imprint. The vocal asks you not to go from bar one, and the breaks underneath just keep rolling like there's all night to fill. Liquid, smooth, unhurried. Banger, no argument about it. Gun fingers up by the second bar, two listens before I wrote anything down. Late sector, low light, let the vocal do the asking. Yours now, junglist.
