The Return Of Ferox Records
There was a period of the 90's where the UK label Ferox had a big influence on a lot of producers, dj's and listeners. It's acid influenced minimal, bleepy and jazzy sounds were the brain-child of Russ Gabriel and friends and it caught on quickly in the world of Techno.
A few of the stand out releases on Ferox still to this day get played here at Murky HQ. Too Funk and Synchrojack put out my personal favorites, but really the excellence was evenly distributed across the whole catalog. To this day I've never acquired a copy of the 'Adventures in Techno Soul' Remix LP, despite wanting it real bad.
Ferox was definitely ahead of the curve when in it's prime. I even feel more than a little nostalgia for the days when a DJ would play those stripped down wee woo tracks to devastating effect. They simply don't affect people like they used to. Although I keep testing the waters on a regular basis.
