Original Record of the Year: Bomb the Bass - Winter In July
What I originally said was 1991 spawned acts like Massive Attack, The Prodigy and Shades of Rhythm who I'm still big fans of to this very day but there was only ever going to be one winner and that was Bomb the Bass.
It fits firmly in the chill out category and is one of the best chill out records I've ever heard, if not the best. In my mind a record like this was always going to beat anything that's more upbeat.
Do I still think that?
New Record of the Year: Shades of Rhythm - Ecstacy
No I don't. One thing that's changed since then is I've got more into the harder side of dance music like I was in the 90s. Shades of Rhythm were one of the pioneers of that in the beginning.
The one everyone knows is "Sound of Eden" and it's a great tune but "Ecstacy" is the one I really like. Not only is it that breakbeat hardcore sound I love but it's also quite raw. Some of the sounds they've put in don't really work together but it sounds great as a result.
