'Pink Haze' has a heavy bass start, served with a full -on epic -flavoured central string break where the '' sample guitar cuts in. From then on the chord twists and strong electro appeal do the rest. CF

DOUBLE SIX 'REAL GOOD' (MULTIPLY) (ALTERNATIVE) A brave new musical direction for Multiply sees Oasis's Hammond player, Mike Rowe, bring Sixties right into the Nineties with a sample of 's adage "The aim of the game is to feel real good", wah-wah guitar, his Hammond sound and an overall funky -ish vibe. Mixes from Soul Of Man, Freddy Fresh, Zen Terrorists and Chris & James all boost the single's diversity. JH

AMIRA 'MY DESIRE' (VC RECORDINGS) (GARAGE) MANTRONIK V. GEEK 'MAD' (OXYGEN MUSIC WORKS) (ALTERNATIVE) A track that's never really been out of demand due largely to the classic The excellent fusion of rock, breakbeat and the furious flow of female rapper 'Dreem Team Remix', it now gets a long overdue re-release. Included in this Traylude makes this sound at times like a 'Bring Forth The Guillotine' for '98. The package are fresh mixes from Club Asylum and Tim Deluxe (one half of Bleecker Street hip -hop formula is tight techno-funk, the Killer Robot sequence R.I.P.), all of which should broaden its appeal. For those of you, however, blasts into old-skool video game mode and The Quest Project moves in drum & who never got your hands on Dreem Team's mix the first time around, basS fashion with sped -up breaks. JH now'syour chance. Enjoy. PROFOUND NOIZE & DJ SKINNY/WORLDS END 'TRANS F'/'STATUS CONTROL' (UNDER FIRE) (DRUM & BASS) The South Coast label goes from strength to strength with this series of two different artists with one track per side. Up first is the minimally constructed TRIPOLI TRAX 'Trans F' by Profound Noize & DJ Skinny with its tight bassline and punchy two- step beats. Over on the B-side Worlds End turn their 'Status Control' into an T abstract monster. More of this please. DM THE BACKROOM CONGREGATION 'SUNDAY MORNING' (THICKK) (HOUSE) Hot off import and still gaining momentum, a simple but rousing vocal with an I organ -and -sax -led groove infused with gospel feeling from the team who gave us Thrnit Ruffneck and Jomanda. The vocal hooks take you to a higher place while the bottom end keeps your feet planted firmly on the dancefloor. JN

VOLUME ONE UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLES 'INSPIRATION & LIGHT' (SOMA) (ALTERNATIVE) Soma bring on board old-skool jazz DJ Nick Peacock for some downright funky breakbeat jazz. On technical support, Stuart McMillan (Slam) and Glenn Gibbons Compilation Mixed by Steve Thomas (Rejuvenation) help shape the group's output. The lead cut does the business Available on Double CD (Mixed/Unmixed), Double LP both on the dancefloor and at home. The vibe is built loosely around a skippy and Cassette break, a walkin' bass and funky organ keyboard sequences. On the flip you get treated to more of the same except the break is removed and replaced by some house -driven beats. DM released FRIENDLY 'HELLO BELLYBUTTON ALBUM SAMPLER' (GULP) (BEATS) FRIDAY, 31 JULY, 1998 Flexing the barriers of dance music, new Aussie -on -the -block Friendly delivers a diverse selection of grooves. First up is the slinky, mid -tempo 'Players' followed by the brilliant sampladelic 'One Fine Day', which neatly combines hip -hop beats with a real summer melody. The flip features the electrofied Twin Peaks theme - influenced 'It's In Your Eyes' and the glorious slow funk groove of 'The Pimp Look out for Tripoli Trax @Frantic- Monthly Patrol'. Expect colourful things from the upcoming album.

CV BORN: Chester. March 11. 1967. LIFE BEFORE DJING: "I worked for BT and was let go because I never went to work on thedays after I DJed at the Hacienda." FIRST DJ GIG: "It was by accident. I never intended forming a band or being a DJ. I'd had decks for years and done littlegigs and, one weekend. John Kelly at Cream was ill. Jim King from Cream said Russ and I could go on and he'd bill us as K -Klass. We did five dates inLondon and everyone loved us and asked us back." MOST v] MEMORABLE GIG: Best- "The first time I heard Rhythm Is A Mystery at the Hacienda in 1991. We'd remixed it and then we heard itgo down so well. Mike Pickering was playing it.It stopped us in our tracks.- Worst- "Being dumped at a bus stop in a small town in Denmark at 5am with no money, freezingto death in sweaty T-shirts. The driver was supposed to take us to the airport." FAVOURITE CLUBS: Cream: "It rivals anything I've ever seen in any club in thepast 10 years": Shindig: "They let us play what we want and the crowd love it": Pushca. London; The Tunnel, Glasgow. NEXT THREE GIGS: Glam, The Vaults. (August1): Déjà Vu. The Room. Hull (7): Legends, London; Café de Paris. London (9). DJ TRADEMARK: "I play the records I'd like to hear myself while I'm dancing.All of us in the band are still clubbing - it's not work, it's tun."
