BBE have found a new formula and after the two successful “Kings of Digging” compilations, it’s time to move into darker territory. Brought in are two of the biggest DJs: Laurent Garnier and Carl Craig, who certainly know a thing or two about the history of techno. This is more a lesson in influences rather than a collection of bangers. Garnier’s top choices include The Temptations, Aretha Franklin, Jeff Mills, Dabrye and Funkadelic, whilst Craig goes for Yello, Alexander Robotick, Back Dog, Art of Noice and the stunning Choice. If you’ve never heard “Acid Eiffel” before well be prepared to be blown away. It was produced by Laurent Garnier, Ludovic Navarre aka St Germain and Shazz and even though it’s nearly thirteen years old, it still sounds as good as when I first picked up a copy. You need this for Choice alone.
