Friday tune

As Dickie quite rightly pointed out, I'm currently traveling through the outback of northern Spain. Anytime I set foot on a bus, heading for my next destination, the hook from a very special record immediately starts looping itself around my head.

The track is 'Road Trip' by The Fifth Edition, aka none other than Luke Solomon and Justin Harris, from Music for Freaks, and Faith old boy, Diesel. Released on 20:20 Vision way back in 1996, when despite being only a nipper (sort of), I was regularly sneaking my way into the seminal Leeds club, Back To Basics. Looking back, this is one of the tracks that soundtracked the early days of my love for house music, getting regular play from Basics residents and guests, including Ralph Lawson, James Holroyd, Huggy, Derrick Carter, Miles Holloway & Elliot Eastwick, Pete Heller, Dino & Terry and the Inland Knights amongst many others. For anyone who's ever been to Back to Basics, I'm sure they'd agree that those memories will last forever.

Anyway, you've done enough reading. Listen to this instead.
