Release date:
October 31, 2025
Pre-order vinyl:

Limited edition of 750 numbered copies on translucent red coloured 140-gram audiophile vinyl. Along with his long-time DJ partner Fabio and contemporaries Goldie and LTJ Bukem, Grooverider is known as one of the originators of the UK jungle/drum and bass scene. In the early nineties he founded Prototype Recordings which soon became the home of many influential 12" singles that showcased a new side of breaks-heavy electronic music: deep, gritty, and futuristic. In 1997 Grooverider put together a collection of 12 heavy hitters from the Prototype catalogue, some of which previously only available as white label promos on acetate such as Dillinja's "Silver Blade" and Ed Rush & Fierce's "Locust". Lemon D's "City Lights" was previously only available on acetate and the CD version of this release. Now, after more than 25 years, a selection of these tracks is available again in the form of a DJ-friendly double LP. Finding these tracks separately will be very difficult, so don't miss your chance to snag yourself a copy of this one.
