Zomby - Where Were U In ‘92?
[Werk Discs, 2008]

It’s sometimes great to take a look into the past. 15-20 years. Where Were U In 92 is a phrase taken from M.I.A’s XR2, became the basis for a 40-minute mix by Zomby. He had a “breakthrough” single “Mu5h/Spliff Dub (Rustie Remix)” in 2008, and this new work of his takes us back right in the beginning of the 90s, where there was jungle, drum’n’bass, lots of rhythms, hardcore dance and no compromise. For those who for some reason spent 92 on Mars, it’s a great opportunity to catch up, and for the rest - to dive into nostalgia.

(Well, if you think, I was 10 in 92, and my music preferences lied more around R.E.M’s “Losing My Religion” than this type of rave, that came later. But still, sooner or later, I guess my generation went through this type of music. At least, it should have.)

Let me leave all the detailed description of the mix behind, it’s not so important for me, to be honest. What matters is turning the mix on in iPod on a way to the gym, or at home, at night - and letting the nightclubbing mood take you in, when you’re under 20, not knowing what’s going on around you, but everything is crazy and fun. This music is exactly for these times.
