Ahhh.. 1995, what a year! Progressive house was undergoing a major change, tracks were stretching production skills and limits to new levels... let alone durations! The term "Epic House" was invented to describe the often 10+ minute long records being produced by artists like Blue Amazon, BT, Brothers In Rhythm and of course, Sasha. Clubs were packed out every weekend up and down the country - any old farmers town could put on a 'club night' and expect to see punters cueing to get in. For me, this era of clubbing was my nirvana, my wonderland, my true halcyon days. 

The mix contains some of my personal favourites from 95-96, and anyone who knew me back then will know I played these records to death. Blue Amazon, Hardfloor, BT, and Moby all feature in the mix, along with labels like Jackpot, Perfecto, and many more.

If you were part of the 95-96 club explosion, I hope some of these records remind you of just how invincible we all were. If you missed out back then, sit back, turn off the lights, turn up the music and imagine what it was like in the middle of a sweaty dancefloor!

As always, this was mixed on two Technics 1210's and an Allen & Heath mixer. 

Sharing these sounds is the biggest form of flattery, so please feel free.

Much love,

Sasha Miss Moneypennys October 1993

There is little dispute that the 90s was the most influential decade for electronic music. An explosion of variety, originality and creativity, from acid house, to rave, tech trance, hardcore, drum'n'bass, techno, jungle, progressive house, and so much more.

Most of the progressive house tunes that stood out at the time still sound fresh today. I put together this mix in 2012, tunes from that era, some larger and more well known than others, but all still sound brilliant these decades later.
