Fun little story about the opening track “Bad Things” by Njoi. I bought this back when it came out in 1995 but for some reason I sold it as part of a big clear out prior to moving to Bournemouth in 1999. Fast forward to a year ago, this track randomly popped into my head. I was then immediately kicking myself having sold my copy of it all those years ago. Less than 48 hours later I’m in town with a little time to kill. I pop into a charity shop (I’m obsessed with picking up second hand cd’s) and sitting there in the vinyl rack was this very record. What are the odds? I couldn’t believe it! In excellent condition and only £4. I snapped it straight up. Glad to have it back in my collection.

I was bouncing around the room whilst putting this together. I like how it flips halfway through from a clubby vibe into more disco-edged grooves. AS usual it’s mostly retro house jams but there’s also a cheeky addition of ‘As We Step’ by the Audio Bullys, a more recent tune that is dripping with retro vibes.

Tracklisting:

1. NJoi – Bad Things
2. Wisdome – Off The Wall (Pussy 2000 Club Mix)
3. Urban Soul – Love Is So Nice (Colour System Inc. Amber Dub)
4. Big Room Girl feat Darryl Pandy – Raise Your Hands (Fire Island’s Saturday Night Mix)
