For some time now, I have wanted to bang on about a few Deep House classics I used to play out a lot, not your average kind of tracks obviously, but tracks which are still great now. They're also not likely to have been huge hits, we're talking about lesser known goodies and maybe a few hidden gems. So here's the first of an occasional new line in yacking on about old tunes...

I first heard Campag Velocet's 'Out On The Plynth (NYDX Mix)' on Simon Lee's brilliant 'Through The Skies' mix for X:Treme Records (1998), back when DJ mixed cd's were still essential buys. With it's cool Voguing bump, lush keys, that superb 'space and time' Brit rap, this was a permanent go to theme track for the deep crowd. 'Out On The Plynth' was the b-side to their first single 'Drencrom' and though they've done some great things since, Campag went in an entirely different direction soon after. I've seen copies occasionally for sale on Discogs and they're always very very cheap. Pure Deep House Disco for starters...
