RECORDS OF THE MONTH
July 2000

Nino

"The Gun"

Label
Production House
Cat number
PNT 041
Released
1992

Officially the flip to "Future of Latin", this sweet soul cruncher of a track sampled the "didn't I always give you love" line and spun it over hard beats to full effect. Released amidst a flurry of quality 12"s on the Production House label from Acen, Baby D, DMS and the like, this one never fails to please, though seemingly ignored by the majority of oldskool DJs these days.

Sonic Solution

"Beatstime"

Label
R&S
Cat number
RSUK 11
Released
1992

Originally released on the european version of R&S as "Beat Time", CJ Bolland is the man behind this pounder of a techno track, a partner in crime to "Horsepower" from the same ... er ... stable. Bolland was a mainstay on the quality Belgian label as it reachedf dizzy heights in 1992, widely regarded as one of the best in Europe, if not the world.
