Did you know it's our first birthday real soon? Yep, that's right, so you've put up with us for an entire year - through all the venues, all the bandwith issues, all the technicals that something like this involves. So you know what it's time for - an original Boiler Room vibe to remind us all about them early days. Thristian bPm, Femi (Mr Wonderful) and Tic (Young Turks) have put their heads together to show the bludclaht score.
Firstly, The Greg Foat Group who make stuff that sounds real old, but isn't real old - and the fact that you've heard about it means it must be good. You only hear old stuff because it's so good it remains relevant. Well, they're traveling through time here - so why don't you just get into them, eh?
So, if you were'nt getting the idea yet, this shows going to have some instruments inside. Like, actually stuff you hit and it makes music - with no sight of a circuit board. Sounds kinda kooky to me, I mean isn't that what people we used to listen to? When like Saturday night tv was bareable?
I don't know much about Michael Kiwanuka, but this song is straight from the heart of dope - and I can't wait to see him vocally duppy Boiler Room.

Redinho will also be coming down all the way from the world of Numbers. As will Pictures Music's very own Chairman Kato - for that well-rounded electronic vibe.
Chairman Kato by Pictures Music
Saving the biggest shit 'til last, Lil Louis will be joining us to show why his name is held in such high regard in the world of house music. Though most importantly we'll finally be able to work out whether his name is ironic or not.
I'm not even sure if I was one year old when this song came out - but it still sounds as fresh as it did back then. Apparently he's one of the best DJs you'll ever see. So you know, miss it at your own loss.
