Droppin’ Science – Volume 2 (EZ Rollers Remix)
The original Droppin’ Science – Vol 2 tune is a slightly weird, but awesome, piece of mid-90s jungle.

Low Noise Block – Rave In A Bedroom Pt 3
Everyone favourite Young Ones sample! Low Noise Block AKA Potential Bad Boy first released this on the excellent Ibiza Records back in 1991. This remix came about in ’92 and being a bit of a sucker for a cheesy piano this one has always been my favourite of the bunch. Depeche Mode fans should also
