Got my memory jogged today by someone on Facebook and listened again for the first time in years to Spacetime Continuum "Emit Ecaps" album. I'd forgotten how good it is, and in the current context it sounds even better.
But what really struck me (and actually is relevant here) is the companion remix album rEmit rEcaps which has an epic Carl Craig remix. It compares very oddly with the original, which is kind of proto-dubstep with long beatless interludes. CC turns it into one of his raw heavy-swing house joints. Somehow the way he continually switches up for 10 minutes actually sounds more like Theo Parrish than either Carl Craig or Spacetime Continuum. I think with dance music you can always go back 10-15 years and find a bunch of records that got slept on at the time that sound perfectly current.
