Compared to the drum-machine euphoria of dance music in 1989, Soul Il Soul stood apart. Britain was getting sweaty in make-shift raves, with Euro producers snagging Disco samples to voice their four-to-the-floor 120 BPM party-starters. Meanwhile a loose collective of London-based DJs, dancers, singers and the occasional musician slowed it down, added doses of soulful groove and positive thinking, and changed the face of British music. The arrogance at the time of calling their debut Club Classics Vol. One has dimmed in the face of what we know now, its seismic cultural impact with songs that still ignite dancefloors today.
