Classic anthem by Bruno Sanchioni, ⅓ of B.B.E ("7 Days and 1 Week"... which you can very easily tell if you play the 2 back2back)& Giuseppe Chierchia, a guy better known for that much sampled disco tune (the one in "Getting Jiggy With it" and "Don't call me Baby"... Ring a bell? Don't ask how I know that ... just... don't ok? ???).
Classed as *"the first trance tune ever made",* which it pretty much is, from way back in 1990. It sounded great then; great in 1992 when Jam & Spoon 's "Watch out for Stella" remix updated for the millions of new ravers (which I included because many ravers aren't aware that's not the original version), it's been great all the times it's been remixed, whether the old skool or the new versions (the only thing out of sync is the description of THIS Particular "age".
More "the age that needs love".

4. Boeng remix
Mark Skelton (no relation to Les...so they claim haha!) a more technical DJ. I'm officially on a bittersweet Niche Nostalgia-fest...And it's led me to this gem of a tune I've been searching for at about 48:00 I only heard it 3 times in my life 1996-2000, whenever I asked it was "IGA feeling" or more informatively "White label" by "Unknown". I apologize for the sound quality in the others, this ain't bad & the Danny Walker mix sounds great .
I was about to shift into pure ambient gear with The Orbs greatest, along with FSOL, Amber, Aphex, and some other goodies...
Then I realized I couldn't very well take you all on a Goa trip with Green. Nuns, X-Dream as well as the. amazing dark psytrance & uniquely. Psychedelic D&B of Cybernetika without dropping UX - UX (Kyle Kyvern of Juno Reactor and Paul "Slide" Martin, with a host of other big names) in this epically collaborative staple of psytrance history; way ahead of it's time and clearly a big influence for Infected Mushroom; & much of the modern era's dark & intelligent tech loaded psy-everything. Which ; if Psy is your thing; THIS IS A MUST!

The unmistakable, hard tech-step, Psy-D&B, sound of Cyberbetika, featuring all tracks from his 2014 album: *"Solar Nexus"*, in a non-stop mix, plus additional remixes & previously unreleased tracks.
STILL his last full album (apart from the mixed/remixed bonus versions, & not including singles, EP's remixes, sets... *Et-Set-era* Solar Nexus felt like his already pioneering Psy-D'n'B style evolving into a rapid fusion of hitech, full-on, atmospheric D&B ard psy-breaks, like his very own "Music For The Jilted Generation" (considering how the Prodigy left us wanting more, getting less, followed by multiple anticlimaxes... I really hope Cy doesn't return with a *"Experimental-Grime"* collab with a Dizzee Rascal wannabe...). His absence may bode unwel. But luckily his tunes are so hyper-spective, way way ahead of time, age like an ancient metaphysical wine amidst the arcane cultural remnants of trancendent primordial entities, whose rhythmic universal language of wisdom & storytelling is this amlessly woven electromagnetic tapestry.

The Gatecrasher Compilations released around 1999 & 2000, were quite simply the best of the best at capturing that Millenium Trance vibe. This and the Discoteq hands down essensial to all Cyber Ravers (or anyone doing a Mitsubishi at a house party....or alone even).

Two hours of euphoric classy hard epic house, trance & techno trance from resident Kevin Wright. There tracks & remixes from many Scottish big league players such as De Niro, the Slam boys, and a guy who you're bound to of heard without realising; 1 Chris Cowie, (Aka Vegas Soul, Scan Carriers, X-Cabs, Third Man... dozens of others).
Cybernetika & Xenofish. Both of these dudes smash it, together they trancend whatever you thought the limits of electronic music were. The 2 forerunners even among ultra-label; Ektoplazm's very best. Pioneers, of frantic,
mind blowing, cutting edge, experimental psychedelic Drum & Bass, Psy-breaks, as well as belting out the crazier, more banging darker & sonically innovative variations of Techtrance, Nu NRG, & Psy-trance (such as Twilight, Forest, Morning, Full on and Hitech), with surprisingly melodic ravey hooks in some tuned, hard heavy metal style riffs & bass lines, in others. One of the most essential releases since the beginning of this century (+unlikely to be far outdone, by the end of it, other than by themselves). As if that isn't enough Cybernetika has a tradition of setting the scene of each album with a deep sci-fi backstory, that adds spades of character to it:
*“On the far side of the galaxy, inside a frozen nebula, a new form of raw crystalline matter revealed itself to the human eye. This cryomatter, as we named it, entered our dimension through a quantum rift. It was discovered that this strange substance was designed to eliminate all movement and progress, to put the universe into stasis and to collapse time itself.
Before the stasis began a small team of scientists managed to escape through the rift where they discovered a world beyond their comprehension. Isolated from the effects of the cryomatter, they discovered its source and the powers that control it. In their desperate search for a way to reverse the effect, they managed to find a way to banish the cryomatter and end the stasis.
Through millions of dimensional rifts, this so-called anti-cryomatter was released into our universe…”*
