I've got the key to another way



Timeslip moment...

Two decades ago, Bosnia was in the midst of its civil war, UK politics was rocky - John Major's government was on the back-foot over unemployment and the Maastricht Treaty, and "sleaze" was apparently everywhere (Asil Nadir, tax scams in big business) - the IRA was still bombing, and the Channel Tunnel, MI5, the James Bulger and Stephen Lawrence murders and Princess Diana were making the news headlines.

It was also a great year for dance music. From this week in August 1993, here's the Urban Cookie Collective and their massive club classic The Key The Secret!


Still sounds good today. Even if it makes me feel old.
