RTRFM’s Lil’ Mixtape Vibe: Allstate’s Top 5 Full Frequency Classics

Allstate takes over the airwaves from 3-5pm every Tuesday for Full Frequency, dropping a mix of house and techno permutations, functional dance traxxx [sic], esoteric beats and bleeps, the ‘ardcore continuum and plenty of curveballs.

To get you in the mood for their 25th birthday, Allstate has given us his top 5 Full Frequency Classics.

1. Floating Points - 'K&G Beat' [Planet Mu, 2009]

From a goosebumps-inducing intro, a garage beat emerges followed by melodic flourishes. Repeat. For me, this is one of those epiphany tracks: you’re alive, life is beautiful and tragic, and music is here for you.

2. Round Two feat. Andy Caine - 'New Day (Club Vocal Mix)' [Main Street Records, 1995]

An incredibly emotive, deep house love song. Produced by Mark Ernestus and Moritz von Oswald of Basic Channel fame, and has the dub-influenced bass weight to match.

3. Hercules - '7 Ways To Jack' [Dance Mania, 1986]

A raw, sleazy Chicago jacker from Marshall Jefferson, primed for a dark room.

4. Outlander - 'Vamp' [R&S Records, 1991]

Big, breakbeat techno monster with rave stabs galore! Never fails to tear up the club. 3, 2, 1, 0!

5. DJ Bone - 'One More Tune' [Subject Detroit, 2008]

Classic Detroit techno soul with a groove that keeps going, replete with the sound of punters not yet ready to go home. One for the stragglers.
