DJ Trace (Duncan Hutchinson), is a name that has been around from the early beginnings of jungle. Most appreciated by me for his lush pads and interesting drum construction, Trace released a fair few pieces on wax that will stay in my record collection for ever.
Lost Entity was his first solo release on the fairly popular Lucky Spin Recordings. Being a Hardcore/Jungle label, Lucky Spin was only active for 3 years. Within that time span, they managed to deliver a quality catalogue that should not be overlooked. The original Lost Entity was released in 1993, and is, in itself, a decent release. In 1995, however, DJ Trace remixed his own tune. The result? A classic… DJ Trace – Lost Entity (Remix)
In good DJ Trace fashion, the tune has several elements, and it progresses nicely through them all. Even though it is produced at a lower bpm (around 155), the tune sounds great sped up to match the 160+ bpm which was more of the “Jungle” norm.
You can get your own copy for about £10.00 to £15.00 here. Not quite a bargain, but a must have none the less.
