The 90s was an incredible time for techno. The dance music culture continued its spread from Detroit across to Europe, becoming a transatlantic phenomenon, helping to fuel the rise of US rave culture, the peak of the illegal party era in the UK, the anarchic Berlin scene, and more.
This mix starts off with Laurent Garnier spinning house music, before Ron Trent steps up for the second half with blistering techno selections. The Chicago-hailing DJ and producer is perhaps better known for his smooth house productions and sets these days, but this mix leans heavily into ragged techno and palptiating acid.
These days you'll find Miss Kittin playing all over the world, whether it's at Music On or Circoloco in Ibiza or Romania's much-loved tech-fest Sunwaves. She put the graft in to reach the status of a world-renowned DJ. This goes back to the early '90s and in '95 she turned in a mix for Tech EYE on French music channel MCM and, wow, does it bang. The French DJ goes hard on the percussive-clashing cuts, drops in acid-layered tracks and works with enough bass to leave you feeling shocked at the end of it.
Underworld's live sets sure are something. The group had a slew of hits in the '90s, but they made sure they were still ingrained in the underground and their set at I Love Techno in '98 is proof of that. There's something quite dark and haunting about it, mainly down to Karl Hyde's inimitable vocal presence combined with some incredible, suspense-filled intros. It's also lively - as techno should be - and rowdy. The latter probably down to 'Born Slippy' and those classic 'LAGER LAGER LAGER' vocals.
\"Missing\" is a song by English musical duo Everything but the Girl, taken from their eighth studio album, Amplified Heart (1994). It was written by the two band members, Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt, and was produced by Watt and John Coxon. It was taken as the second single off the album on 8 August 1994 by Blanco y Negro Records in the United Kingdom and by Atlantic Records in the United States. It initially did not achieve much success until it was remixed by Todd Terry and re-released in 1995, resulting in worldwide success, peaking at or near the top of the charts in many countries. The release of the remixed version of \"Missing\" gave an indication of the band's future experimentation with more electronic dance music on subsequent albums.
Musically the song takes in multiple genres. The original version from the album is a more low-tempo influenced song, while the popular Todd Terry remix version is a more up-tempo dance-pop song. Lyrically the song talks about one person missing the other because they have moved away. \"Missing\" was critically acclaimed by the majority of music critics, who praised the composition and generally considered it a highlight on the album.
Prior to \"Missing\", Everything but the Girl was most known as an indie band; as with many UK bands of the era, their music had folk and jazz leanings. They had released eight albums prior to Amplified Heart and had a number-three UK singles chart success in 1988 (\"I Don't Want to Talk About It\"), but were relatively unknown in the United States. \"Missing\" was recorded as a relaxed-sounding guitar-based popular music song that had earned modest broadcasting airplay on US Adult Contemporary radio. The duo gave the track to house music producer Todd Terry to remix for nightclubs.
According to the music sheet published at Musicnotes.com by Sony/ATV Music Publishing, \"Missing\" is written in the key of A minor.[4] In vocal range, Thorn's vocals span from the key note of E4 to the key note of G5.[4] The song is set in common time and has a beat of 128 beats per minute.[4] Lauren Barnett from The Guardian recalled the style of music as \"monochrome electronic beats.\"[5] Toponehitwonders.com had said the remix \"Add[s] a pulsing disco beat that sounds equally at home.\"
Bill Lamb from About.com said that \"there has never been a more powerful expression of emotional and sexual longing in pop music than that at the core of 'Missing'.\"[16] AllMusic was also very positive, highlighting the song as an album standout and rated it with 4 stars out of 5.[17][18] Stopera and Galindo from BuzzFeed ranked it number 10 in their list of \"The 101 Greatest Dance Songs of the '90s\" in 2017, commenting, \"Have you ever sat and really thought about if the desert actually misses the rain Like any good song, it makes you think.\"[19] A writer from Complex noted that the remix \"set the world ablaze\".[20] Idolator ranked it among \"The 50 Best Pop Singles of 1995\", calling the song a \"noir-ish study in wistful longing, with a hint of lonely-but-relatable stalker in the lyric.\"[21]
The resulting Todd Terry remixed dance version of \"Missing\" became a worldwide success, matching Everything But the Girl's best UK chart score of number three in November 1995[22] and scoring number one on the German singles chart. The song became the duo's first and only US Top 40 entry on the Billboard Hot 100, entering at number 94 for the week ending 12 August 1995.[23] After a long climb, it peaked at number two during 1996 (in its 28th chart week). \"Missing\" eventually logged 55 weeks on the chart (a record at the time which has since been broken; the single is today the eleventh-longest charting song on the US Hot 100). \"Missing\" was the first ever single to spend an uninterrupted year on the US Hot 100.[24] It also topped the US Cash Box Top 100. On Radio & Records magazine's CHR/Pop (Mainstream Top 40) tracks chart, \"Missing\" spent four weeks at number one, and was ranked as the number one song of the year for 1996. The original album version of \"Missing\" also received airplay on adult contemporary and smooth jazz radio stations in the United States.
An accompanying music video was shot for the single (both the original and dance versions). It was directed by English director Mark Szaszy.[26] The video features both Thorn and Watt in an apartment, having split up but them missing each other. It also features Thorn walking around Balham and Clapham South.[27] The video for the Todd Terry Remix was later published on YouTube in June 2018. By October 2022, it has amassed more than 17 million views.[28]
In 2011, Fedde le Grand remixed the song and DJ Ron Slomowicz from About.com listed the song as Song of the Day. He said \"Tracey's mournful voice fit perfectly over Todd's house beats to become a club classic and a pop hit around the world.\"[30] Bill Lamb from the same publication ranked the song at top spot on his Top 10 Best Songs of 1996.[31] He later reviewed the remix saying \"pumps up the tempo, adds some beats but thankfully stays true to the original.\"[30] Toponehitwonders.com. was very positive stating \"'Missing' ... is a tremendous pop song. One of the best of the 1990s. In fact, I would place it in the same company as 'You Get What You Give' by New Radicals as a nearly perfect pop song.\" They later complimented the chorus, catchy hook and vocal performance by Thorn.[32]
In 2012, the song was listed at number 35 in NME's list of the 50 best-selling tracks of the 90s, adding: \"The 1994 version of 'Missing' had at least a foot on the dancefloor - in defiance of EBTG style - but Todd Terry gave it the final push, his deep house beats complementing Tracey Thorn's rich melancholy pine. Slowly burning, it spent five months on the UK chart and an entire year on the Billboard Hot 100. Sold: 870,000\"[33]
