I posted something once on this thread:

Soulwax Presents Hang All DJ's - Volume 1

But I'm no expert; I've never been to one of the clubs. I always wanted to go at least once and check it out, but it's a pretty ritualised and rarefied atmosphere, I'm told...

I could have sworn my friend James Porter wrote a good article about it that was online somewhere, but a Google search isn't turning anything up. Hmmm...

i don't think i could dress well enough to get into one of these clubs. everyone always looks so fancy in the big r's videos.

The most awesomest steppers cuts are:

Was Dog A Doughnut by Cat Stevens
& Moments In Love by Art Of Noise

Also, stepping is so mid-90s.

the steppers groove being a slightly more narrow/less conceptual requirement tho
