For those that have not witnessed them first hand (they were unlacquered 10" acetate discs which were cut a the Legendary Dub Cutting House.) The format originally came from the Jamaican Reggae soundsystem scene and adopted by the jungle/dnb scene designed as special, promotional exclusives for the latest artist music. They had a lifespan of 30-60 plays usually. Some however have lasted a lot longer than expected.

Top industry artists and dj's would request a copy when they were cut live at the Music House sessions, and then used them that day/weekend to drop at club nights, radio shows, events etc (for promotional and testing purposes.)

They were promos of promos in effect and only a handful were ever cut (prior to the single actually being released.)

This was an institution for the music before the advent of the internet and still going strong today...

"Old skool flex with new skool complex" That was the iconic, cornerstone DnB sound of the 90's. Fast forward to present day. Introducing an engineer who is aiming to combine the original analogue tech step style with modern audio techniques. 

Big shout to all the original heads/artists from back in the day who are a constant inspiration for our music. You know who you are!
