quote:Slam was responsible for some of the best happy hardcore IMO
Absolutely - DJ Slam produced high quality tracks that more DJ's really should have played more often. Till We Meet Again is one of the best vocal led piano tracks of the 1990's, and of course Looking Into The Light is one of the best tracks ever to appear on a Fantazia album in my opinion :)

I like the remix of Till Me We Meet Again aswell as the original but I do think the original is better. I also really like the track by Slam called Come Back, shame it never got released.

Yeah I've always preferred the version of Till We Meet Again that is on the Masters At Work Vol 1 album, although I really like the remixed version as well. I actually think they're pretty similar to each other to be honest. I don't think I've ever heard the track Come Back though - unless DJ Slam played it in his sets? I've got all of Slam's appearances at Helter Skelter on tape as well as a couple of other events he played. He's a great live DJ as well as producer.
