Bassbin Twins - A-1 Love

Classic track from The Edge, Ft. Lauderdale

[@oozhaboo]

15 minute songs were the best when djing at a house party. Grab a beer, go use the restroom, say hi to 15 more people that just arrived, smoke a bit off the joint being passed around, split a bean in two and eat both halves so they’ll hit harder, tell the annoying girl you don’t know that you can’t find “set u free” because you own 2500 records and you’re too unorganized to put everything in order, look for it anyway, eventually start looking for the next record you’re going to play that you bought on Wednesday at the drop shop, mix it in flawlessly and start to feel the pill kick in.

[@dontlookmeinmyeyeswhenudan5241]

U suck as a dj then lol, always please the mass!!!

Anyone saying that Florida doesn't understand the EDM from '89-'93 is a total moron. We partied so hard in Orlando and Tampa that the ATF had to come in and put a stop to it. Kimball Collins, DJ Three, Icey, Rabbit in the Moon, the music stands on its own and there was nowhere in the country where breaks ruled more supreme than central Florida. We also had a secret place known as Simon's in Gainesville where the real crazies showed up to throw down. Florida was a 3 ring circus between SFL, Central, and the North. It's been over 20 years but tracks like this will live on forever.

[@thevoids74]

I think that's great but New York is IMD capital in these united states.

[@MikeMcCarthy1]

I went to FLA twice last year. First time as an adult. Couldn't find any spots where I could find anything like what I'd hoped to see. Tough to think it would be the same, but maybe I wasn't looking in the right spots. I'd go back in a heart beat if I thought this could be revived. Heck, I'd drive, and it's 25hrs due south!

1st loop in this song is so embeded into our DNA that it hooks u in...now.

[@jennypeck1186]

As much as I despise living in Florida, I am soooooooo thankful that I was here for the most amazing time in the music scene. The music, people, parties, DJ’s I was exposed to shaped who I am today & this song more than others is at the top of the list ❤️ the memories this track brings back give me the chills & instantly transport me back to the best times of my life 💫✨✨💫 I’m going to see Baby Anne, AK1200, Dara, Dieselboy & Deekline on the 30th I can’t wait!! I got to see Huda, Tony Faline, Keith Mackenzie & Dave London last year (they fucking killed it, the whole place went wild!!) Stanton Warriors will be here next month & I can’t wait for that! It’s so good after the hell the last few years have been for all of us to have this time again to just dance your cares away to the music that defined us as a generation ❤️❤️ long live breaks, jungle, drum n bass, electro, progressive, HOUSE MUSIC!!!

[@aphasia1100]

O-town was good to all of us in those days, bullshit and all… :) wall street, cyberzone, house parties, wandering orange ave…. good times and i’m grateful we made it through :)))))))))) take care of yourself:)

This song is so good that my mom asked me the name of it. I’d blast it driving and drivers would also ask me about it at red lights--Atlanta GA 1997. Funky Desert Breaks CD.

[@koasng2209]

man i wish people still made music like this

[@jasonpaz4468]

1989-1993 breaking into warehouses blacking out every single window with hefty garbage bags. setting up tables and not coming up for air till 5 days later. i feel sorry for anyone who is not old enough to have had a chance to experience the scene in its purest form. when music was god and abandoned warehouses were our church. sorry FL kids im sure the music touched you too back then but if you didnt live in Seattle or down the road in SF you really never felt what it meant to rave. Peace&Love

[@4420Andrew]

ha, u had nasty wafers, we had doves, and our chit was legal with fatter breaks... I see your point, but we had our fun too...

[@Shaunpinn]

I was there :) Such good times!

[@chrishawkes4348]

ummm.... Jason, if you weren't in Florida from '88 onwards then you have no clue. Garth, Jeno, Hardkiss Bros., Dubtribe all were here from SF on a regular basis for years in Orlando, Gainesville, Tampa and elsewhere. Central FL was a large and thriving scene until the government cracked down on it in the mid-90's.

[@AdamAndersonFL]

You got it right Chris, this sound IS Florida. And the scene back in the 90's was amazing.

[@m00d_fm]

The Simon's block parties in Gainesville were epic!

[@bombboys]

Ultimate classic right here. This reminds me of the height of the Baltimore Rave Scene 95-97. Breaks was everything!

[@mwrtaza426]

[@DustinBowls003]

Not just Florida..SF had a live breaks scene too. Bassbin Twins originated in Cali..

[@PB-jk8bl]

DJ Dan killed and grilled the big breaks in SF/Funky Tekno Tribe days....

[@anomaloushappenings4904]

SoCal did too. I saw to that ;)

[@anomaloushappenings4904]

Dan, City of Angels, electroliners, there was some cool breaks from cali but it was mostly about rabbit in the moon/god within etc. UK and Florida was paving the way, excluding Bassbin Twins, which were in a league of their own.

[@MiltonBreaks]

An era that unfortunately slipped away .....wayyy wayyyy to fast... this music was the backdrop to the best times of our life's and we didn't even know it till it was gone ...that time really now has gone..... following the way of the wind.....Thanks Bassbin ... Now play it loud ... let them hear this mighty Track ...for nothing today can even attempt to compare...oooooh let them hear this track .....the Twins are commin ....ooooo the twins are coming ..play it loud and when they ask what is this music????? say no ......this isssssss music....there's this and nothing else........play it loud .....play it loud........get your knees up and play it loud.......

[@GrimmDaze]

I knew and still know

[@anomaloushappenings4904]

I tried so many times to spin this in western US back then. I was on a tear at the time l and I couldn’t believe that I could never get this to land. I just thought “too bad” and made them listen to all 12 minutes of it anyway ;)

Good God, this does bring back memories! Atlanta back in the late 90's. Snuck in the club that night.. Like everyone says, where did all the good music go?

[@headphonetribe]

Listening to a mix I recorded back in '95. And out of Stella Getz "Dr Love" the Hard Love Dub mix I hear A1 Love. Absolutely one of my favorite tracks to hear and dance to at the club. The light tech at the LIZARD LOUNGE would fog the main floor and then hit the strobes. I remember one tine while A1 was playing, I found a friend in the crowd and he put his hand on my shoulder and asked if I could help him get to the restroom because he couldn't see straight and the crowd was shoulder to shoulder. Took us 10 minutes but the time we got there there 5 of us who trying to get the restroom lol. Wild times.

cant forget Atlanta! haha.. huge tune in the ATL. You would here this pretty much every night at all the good club spots and proper raves... even loungier small-dancefloor spots like the original MJQ. it was a song everybody knew and would always destroy the dancefloor. the intro is so good to hear coming up on the system. the buildup.... early bassbin twin tunes were pretty much all perfect. im still hoping peter busts out his old sampler and makes some raw breakbeat tracks again. he is a true innovator.

That was probably the price he got it for recently because vinyl was around 1.50 p or cheaper back in the day. He might of got from a old market my friends doing it all the time. If not he's really looking after it for the label to be in good condition.

[@DB_Cooper.]

Harrison is pretty far from Vancouver. Easy driving distance though. Lots of people moving here all the time. Half the condos are empty due to foreign real estate investments.

[@RandyColby]

That sucks. Depended on what it was in the states. We paid similar on imports, even in the US. I bought a couple of pieces at a shop in Pomona, CA, 45 minutes east of Los Angeles. I remember paying premium for imports, but they only had imports that were in high demand, I'm sure.

[@Djelsloo]

Lot's of innovative music was out prior to the 90's. That doesn't make this track any less enjoyable.
