Ranked No. 12 in Trip-Hop
The warm end of the genre, from Leeds by way of Ibiza. George Evelyn keeps the slowed break and throws out the dread, which turns out to leave something perfectly durable behind.
Picked by Twice Over
Ten years later, the same act, and the sampler is being used to make something warm rather than something skeletal. It is the single most recognisable record in our trip-hop ranking and it was made by a bleep techno producer.
Picked by Warp
The most recognisable record the label ever released to people who do not follow it, and the moment its catalogue acquires warmth. A bleep techno act from the label's first year making something you could put on at the end of a night.
