Forgotten Tracks Of The Bigroom Era by JAXN
published on
Recently i’ve been inspired by SHM playing some of their old hits at Tomorrowland and Creamfields, along with clips of Third Party sticking to the sound they’ve always loved.
It got me thinking that this period of dance music isn’t shown enough respect. It’s the time when DJ’s where taken from clubs to huge international festival stages, and prime time on radio and TV. Whether you think that’s good or bad it’s led to the dance music we have today.
Back then even Radio 1 used to hammer these bigroom/progressive House tracks. To the point i remember Pete Tong playing Lights 3x in one 2 hour show because of the listener reaction.
I hope one day we’ll look back at these tracks like we do with classic trance and House now. Because some music then was amazing and isn’t looked at fondly enough.
I know there’s a lot of tracks missing so there may be a pt2. For this one i tried to stick to some of the less commercial tracks of this era
