"Bound 4 da reload" - Oxide and Neutrino
Uk garage had been a big thing in London during 1999, and was breathlessly promoted by Radio 1 as The Next Big Thing. Bassy and frenetic, it could fill massive floors and sell out huge clubs.
The uk garage scene imploded on New Year's Eve, when promoters hired the biggest warehouses in town and tried to sell hugely overpriced tickets. Nobody came.
But the ashes lived on, with this mashup of the theme from BBC1's "Casualty", a sample from "Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels", and some clever speeding up.
Worth a listen, brings some nostalgia value, but i fear this song outstays its welcome by a couple of minutes.

In our first Mystery Year, Barbara Castle was hawking her newly-published memoirs on the chat show circuit, Beryl Reid was on "Blankety Blank", and BBC2 asked "Where is Wales?" Just head down the A5, lads, you'll find it just past Shrewsbury. Put a bin over your head, Top of the Pops was hosted by Count Mike Read. #TOTP
