Two big TV screens were erected so the party could watch the France v Croatia World Cup semi-final while bonding with top Universal bods Zach Horowitz, Jorgen Larsen and Bruce Hack. The passion of the French execs present certainly livened up proceedings, even if the US delegation was a little rusty on some of the finer rules of the game. "I had to spend half the evening explaining the golden goal rule," lamented one of those present...Morris and team were in town for two days of European A&R meetings at the PolyGram International HQ in St James Square. Among the UK execs present were John Kennedy, PolyGram Island MD Richard "Course, it wasn't like this in my Manners, and Mercury, Polydor and Island day". Former BPI chairman OBIE (1) heads Howard Berman, Lucian Grainge took a nostalgic trip back to BPI land and Marc Marot. "They seemed genuinely last Wednesday for the annual BPI bash. Pictured with the Obie-one is, bowled away by the depth of talent on left, See For Miles' MARK RYE and, offer," gushed one of the PolyGram right, Revolver Music's PAUL BIRCH.

Then again, who was courting whom? aka Telstar Video's Neil Allen - larging it

Two * subdued house versions with minimal content play second fiddle to Van Dyk's own 1998 remix. It's a driving trancey verion with phasing hi -hats, intelligent * * synth sequences and monstrous hooks t mould together wonderfully. Reliable as ever, Van Dyk is clearly giving thequaycontrol department at Deviant no * * * * problems at all. CF * * D*NOTE 'SAY WHAT YOU MEAN' (VIRGIN) (SOUL) Complementing Matt Winn's original album version that features Pamela Anderson on vocals are remixes from Sonship and Mantronik. The former adds STARDUST "You gotta...why won't you?" snippets oktr a bumpy, chopped 'London "MUSIC SOUNDS BETTER WITH YOU" underground' sound while the latter cheeily updates his 'Ladies' classic, using a loop as the 'bass -is' for the new track. JH * * * * DOGS DELUXE `WRECKIN' BALL' (SECOND SKIN) (ALTERNATIVE) Second Skin keep their minds open with a funky slice of mid -tempo breakbeat * * rather than using uptempo drum & bass Sounds as a lead cut on this 12 -inch. * * 'Wreckin' Balls' it will most definitely do, ds warm synths chase the beats while * * nifty sound effects fly out in the mix.

DM * ** * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * THE ROLLING STONES 'OUT OF CONTROL' (VIRGIN) (TECHNO) Fluke rework this Don Was production so effectively with their uplifting fusion of STARDUST 'MUSIC SOUNDS BETTER WITH YOU' (VIRGIN) (HOUSE) rock and a trippy trance groove that its impact instantly brings to mind Paul Originally released on Thomas Bangalter's Roule label and now signed to Oakenfold's remix of U2's 'Even Better Than The Real Thing'. Bi-Polar turn in a Virgin, this is an instant smash due to Benjamin Diamond's "Ooh baby, I feel couple of fine mixes too with their space-nunked dub; the Stones never sounded like music sounds better with you...love might bring us back together...I feel so good! JH so good" hook over a Chaka Khan 'Fate' -sampling jangly-filtered neo-disco loop. At times this echoes the deep house vibe of Sterling Void's 'It's HYBRID 'FORGIVE ME' (DISTINCTI*) (BEATS) Alright'; it has already achieved similar classic status. JH This track, from a similar mould to Olive'd 'You're Not Alone', is actually a cover of an Alanis Morrisette song. It combinesta moody, soulful vocal with warm breakbeats, and has huge crossover potential with its very catchy orchestrated DEEJAY PUNK -ROC 'FAR OUT' (INDEPENDIENTE) (BEATS) chorus. No mixes yet but expect big things. BB The highlights of this terrific double 12 -inch package include the Public Enemy - siren whining, bullet -speeding rapped 'Far Out' in its album version, Les Rythmes TZANT 'BOUNCE WITH THE MASSIVE' (LOGIC) (POP) Digitales' Eighties hi-NRG synth -driven remix of 'My Beatbox', Rasmus's deep This is practically a carbon copy of Tzant's last single 'Sounds Of The and dark string-breaked mix of 'Far Out' and Jam Master Jay's remix of 'I Hate Wickedness' with trademark whistle squeals and slithery scratches - still, "if it Everybody'. Plenty more mouth-watering morsels to add to Deejay Punk -Roc's ain't broke...". Boosted by cheers, John'tine Builder's hiss -spitting human 'ChickenEye' menu! JH beatboxing, Dave Bull's funky guitar and Marcel Atteen's rap, this looks a dead cert to hit the Top 10. JH JAMES HARDWAY FEAT. AMANDA GHOST 'GROW' (RECORDINGS OF SUBSTANCE) (DRUM & BASS) FAITHLESS 'GOD IS A DJ' (CHEEKY) (HOUSE) This man always seems to walk a tightrope when it comes to presenting his drum Rollo, Sister Bliss and Maxi Jazz return a*er what seems a very long break. 'God & bass developments, never one to ride the formula that other producers do time Is A DJ' is a solid deep house groove int*th its Deep and Monster mixes, with and time again. Hardway this time teams up with Amanda Ghost for some vocal cathedral-esque organs and looped synth(mellowed out by Maxi Jazz's mid- lead action. This is a funky deep jazz -tinged roller with all the usual Hardway section renditions. The Tuff mix is a speedy garage dub thing, while the Sharp production trimmings. On the flip Klute step up and use Shapeshift's 'Sleep Boys beef up the percussion and drum repeats as only they can. It feels as if Tonight' to good effect. Check it out. DM Faithless have never been away. r CF

QUAKE 'THE DAY WILL COME' (FFRR) (HOUSE) CEASEFIRE VS. DEADLY AVENGER 'EVEL KNIEVEL' (WALL OF SOUND) This big vocal tune from Rob Tissera and Ian Bland includes vocals from Maria (BEATS) Rae. Quake's vocal mix is very large, with strong chord hooks and exciting builds As energetic as the title suggests, Derek Inahlarge returns with a daredevil deluge which combine for a resolute finish. Judge Jules provides a vocal and an of charged beats, scratch punctuation, drbps and an "Everybody in the house instrumental, both similar in arrangement to the original but with a more effective make some noise" sample which all seent to make this sound like the theme to a bass approach, while Lucid provide two versions under their Translucid guise Seventies action TV series.

`PULP FICTION' ALEX REECE (METALHEADZ) "This was one of the turning points of drum & bass for me, it was that kind of tune. It had a hard side and a softer side and it swept everything in together. Even if it was only for a couple of months, at the time it crossed boundaries. I played it in Switzerland recently as the last, end -of - the -night tune. It's one of those tunes you can still play out, it's not an easy tune but if you play it in the right context people instantly remember it."

MOST MEMORABLE GIG: Best- "Divan Du Mode, Paris. three or four weeks ago. It wasone of those times when music crosses barriers. We played for tour hours and people went mad. It was brilliant.- Worst- "Turnmills at the end of '96. Wehad more people in the DJ box than in the club! It was me, Rob Playford and someone else. It was a Thursday night so Movement and Tempowere going on and there was Logical Progression at Ministry as well, so everyone who could have been there was somewhere else."
