West London’s Slip 'n' Slide was one of the UK’s original House imprints. Starting in 1994 with early releases and remixes from artists such as Blaze, Deep Dish, X-Press 2, King Britt, Masters At Work, Kings Of Tomorrow and Restless Soul, it set the benchmark for house music in the UK and gave a platform to artists who then went on to become all-time greats. This series revisits some of Slip ‘n’ Slide’s standout releases, gleefully wading through the entire musical history of the label, blowing the dust off those albums and singles that deserve another lease of life, and a place in your classic house collection.

Solid Groove’s dub of ‘Hallelujah’ is a masterclass in loop-driven house, ebbing and flowing through its duration underneath snippets of Sabrina Johnston’s vocal. Jamie Lewis provides a pair of diverse mixes; his ‘Darkroom Dub’ is a stripped-back, tracky affair that subtly hints at the of what’s to follow on his ‘Gospel Flavour Mix’, an irresistible, spiritual celebration that cannot fail to raise the roof in any church of house music.
