In June 2000 it was announced that TFI Friday was being axed. As a fan of the show I thought it was a good decision at the time because it was a 90s show and time for something new. Nothing new of note really happened though, anyway to the music:
DJ Dee Kline - I Don't Smoke
We start with a common theme amongst these tunes that charted in 2000, a tune that's from 1999. It's a garage record but from the sub genre of garage known as breakstep. I guess this was a way of making garage appeal to those who were into breakbeat.
Trevor & Simon - Hands Up
Some people probably bought this record thinking it would be by the comedy duo who used to appear on Going Live. It wasn't though, it was a DJ duo whose names are Trevor and Simon and this was their only Top 40 hit. Again it's a 1999 record that didn't chart until 2000.
B-15 Project ft Chrissy D - Girls Like Us
UK garage was very much seen as a London thing but not all the records were coming out of London. This is one of those examples which comes from Birmingham with B15 being the postcode they hail from. Appeared on quite a few garage tapes.
Ariel - A9
Ariel is an Argentinian DJ who at the time was based in Ibiza and was a well known name on the DJ circuit. This was his only Top 40 hit which is a simple no nonsense trance record with no vocals.
Moby - Porcelain
It had been nearly 2 years since Moby released "Honey" which was the lead single from his "Play" album. This was the final single from it and he really has saved the best for last here. It was also his highest charting single despite many people including myself owning the album which had topped the albums chart earlier on in the year.
