People passing by the club entrance would assume that its an Order of Malta fancy dress Halloween Party where the carers have all been poisoned and locked in a store room.

alistair Don’t know what classification it comes under but the AVH remix of professional widow is still one of the great crossover remixes
It just sounds like funky house really. It has a standard 4/4 beat and a french house/Subliminal-esque disco bassline.
It certainly isn’t UK Garage.
bosstrabs Can you imagine the scones if me, Smalls and Alistair met up for a UKG rewind, head to toe in Moschino, suaving the treacles and swigging Bollinger straight from the jeroboams? While taunting Zackster in his Phila jersey and Starter Cap via Zoom from the VIP area?
Off the chain doesn’t even describe it.
“Off the chain”?
Goldie lookin chain more like!

bosstrabs Armand van Helden’s remixes of Spin Spin Sugar and Professional Widow were widely regarded as the pioneering Speed Garage tracks.
Spin Spin Sugar is noticeably Speed Garage sounding.
I can accept people calling Professional Widow Speed Garage as well, but regardless of what it turned in to it still just sounds like a regular funky house track more than a speed garage tune, even if it was influential. I think they get a bit lazily lumped together both being massive tunes made by AVH, even though they’re not that similar.

Cankles-McJeggings ok mate but breeder - the chain is best peak time ball wrecking power prog with all those pyrotechnics explosion sounds and all the stereo panning, until that supersaw synth comes in. Then loses all credibility and becomes posh mans version of paul van dyk.
This was van Helden’s best track, what an absolute banger on a decent system
Saw AVH at Printworks a few years ago.
Absolutely horrific.
A legendary producer. Not really a stellar DJ. Saw him at GodsKitchen, he pretty much cleared the dancefloor.
Great cd
You do realise you are arguing over which pile of shite smells the most like shite.
