West London’s Slip ‘n’ Slide was one of the UK’s original house imprints. Starting in 1994 with early releases and remixes from artists such as Blaze, Deep Dish, X-Press 2, King Britt, Masters At Work, Kings Of Tomorrow and Restless Soul, it set the benchmark for house music in the UK and gave a platform to artists who then went on to become all-time greats. ‘4 To The Floor presents Slip ‘n’ Slide’ revisits some of its standout releases, gleefully wading through the entire musical history of the label, blowing the dust off those albums and singles that deserve another lease of life, and a place in your classic house collection. Opening tracks Blaze’s ‘My Beat’ and King Britt’s ‘Supernatural’ are arguably the most successful marriages of poetry and house music in the genre’s canon. Meanwhile, early productions by US heavyweights Deep Dish and Kings Of Tomorrow signpost their immense talents, and their inspiration can be traced through the work of Solid Groove, aka Switch, who contributes six dubby yet jackin’ tracks and remixes.
