Another absolute classic for you from the Anthems 1991-2008 CD. This one used a clever sample of an earlier anthem in the shape of Street Player by Chicago and has been an enduring dancefloor weapon for all house DJs ever since…

Anthem: Kenny Dope presents The Bucketheads - The Bomb

First heard it? It was massive when the Mud Club had become a weekly party at Bagleys (now Canvas) in Kings’ Cross. The intro is so long you could probably fit in a trip to the bar while the tension was building up, but when it kicked in, it was a dancefloor devastator!

Club memories? We went to Bagleys most Saturday’s at that time as it had five rooms and was probably the biggest weekly event in London and it was right on our doorsteps. The Bomb defines a ‘main room anthem’ of that time. The whole club was usually packed even though it was huge and they kept people coming back by completely changing the theme regularly. One I remember was ‘Coronation Street’. The whole place looked like a row of terraced houses and there were people dressed as housewives up on podiums doing the hoovering, with washing lines of clothes hung up above the dancefloor. Odd, but good.

Who it reminds you of? I was clubbing with an extended group made up of old school friends (we had all recently converted to the joys of house music events after years of moody hip hop), plus some more flamboyant characters I worked with who soon got me into techno.
