August 11, 20168 yr This one is nice and uplifting, I prefer this kind of UK garage to the chilled out deep type of Flowers or Moving Too Fast. However I much prefer The Prodigy track to this, it doesn't really work for me in the chorus of this song with the slower beat.
August 11, 20168 yr There is indeed a big story to go along with the Star To Fall sample battle, but we'll get to that when we see one or both of them get featured in the thread. Crazy Frog and Pondlife/ DJ Casper and MC Jig provide some stories too. Were Public Domain named after Public Enemy then? Edited August 11, 20168 yr by TheSnake
August 11, 20168 yr I did wonder that, but nope - they just called themselves that as they're "open to everyone", in the way all the best clubs/raves are. They did end up working with Chuck D from Public Enemy for real though on follow-up Rock Da Funky Beats. This is one of my faves of theirs though, used to blast this out back around late 2004/early 2005: Not got much to say about No Good 4 Me...UK garage was never a massive sound for me, although I enjoyed some of the bassline tracks later in the decade. Plan B later used the same hook in one of his early singles.
August 11, 20168 yr Not really a fan of Bound 4 Da Reload. :( Just checked the chart history of Oxide & Neutrino because I couldn't remember on any more songs of them, and surprisingly (for me) they've had 4 top 10 hits and 2 more in the top 20 but after 2002 nothing anymore.
August 11, 20168 yr Interesting mix of UK #1s and (lots of) Eurohits that did nothing/weren't released here, and a few that eventually were UK hits but years later - Mauro Picotto's Komodo in 2001, DJ Aligator's The Whistle Song and ATC's Around the World in 2002, and a remixed version of The Underdog Project's Summer Jam a whopping three years later in 2003! And Gigi D'Agostino's La Passion which was randomly massive in Ireland but bafflingly not in the UK. is a fave of mine in that video, very Alice Deejay/DJ Quicksilver - surely that would have been a UK top ten had they bothered releasing it here?
August 11, 20168 yr Interesting facts about two songs in the thread - Toca's Miracle was re released in 2008 and made the top 40 and also Moving Too Fast was covered a bit (I think) in the chorus of the 2006 Supafly Inc top 30 hit Moving Too Fast. Yes BillyH that Underdog Project song was originally a UK Garage song before all the whistles (it sounded like a referee was hired for the song)and a house beat appeared in it.

August 11, 20168 yr I must start compiling a play list for this thread too. Already started mine Colm! :lol: Interesting facts about two songs in the thread - Toca's Miracle was re released in 2008 and made the top 40 This has already been alluded to in a previous post by myself. :rolleyes:

Omg, thanks Billy, all of those you're mentioning are brilliant tracks, and Kosmonova was one of my faves too. :wub: I really don't understand why Gigi D'Agostino wasn't pushed in the UK. A mystery for me.
August 12, 20168 yr Author Yep, L'amour Toujours sounds like it could have been a massive UK hit but I guess it never got any radio support.

August 12, 20168 yr Author So Delerium feat. Sarah McLachlan - Silence (6 weeks) failed to be one of the Top 10 sellers? Indeed. In fact it is only at #17. Here's the full end-of-year dance chart (I think, correct me if I've left anything out or if any of these songs aren't dance) using all the dance songs that made the EOY top 200 (credit to liamk97 in the sales vault).

August 12, 20168 yr 81DweJNdy-A This is the 2006 song, which may refer to Moving Too Fast in the chorus, the singer sounds similar too :)
