It's been fashionable to bang it in the last few years, with plenty of erstwhile house jocks embracing snare rolls, syncopated synth lines and rushy breakdowns to enliven the punters. Straight from the source, it's fair to say 'Access' might have the bulk of them running for cover. Back in 1995, Rotterdam's DJ Misjah stood at the crest of a rave wave, forging a bold new sound that had an ocean of loved-up dancers in raptures for days on end. One of a long run of cuts released on Misjah's own X-Trax label alongside running mate DJ Tim, the pounding rhythms, snarling acid licks, and tension-building bass of 'Access' amount to something of a hard trance template. The track is presented alongside a cherry-picked selection from the label, all of which pump as hard as nails. 'Keep Your Love' is a highlight, with its brooding acid bass steadily building into a fist-pumping frenzy.
