Ok, we’ve reached 1992. 123 tracks over 3 hours.

This is possibly my favourite year in music. The year I left school. I DJed for the first time in public at a house party that Summer, started college and started sneaking into nightclubs. A massive one for me.

The start of the nineties saw some sub-genres established; by ’92 some of these sounds had fully-formed and even crossed over. Hip hop was bang in the middle of its "golden era" and new jack swing was in its prime. The breaks in rave music were speeding up, the birth of jungle was imminent. The grubbier alternative rock world was wiping out the hairspray metal bands; indie and grunge were becoming mainstream. There was even a surge of dancehall in the pop charts.

The first two hours go through hip hop, swing, soul, acid jazz, ragga, indie, metal & pop.
The last hour is a rave-up (largely based at the UK's biggest illegal rave...) with a few curveballs and some grungy ballads for the post-rave comedown.
