"If I could just No U Turn back time" - 20 years since techstep

Pearsall with a mix of nothing but techstep and nothing but No U Turn -  #6 of his 780 project



Actually not nothing but No U Turn in the sense that there's other labels on it, but nearly every track involves someone from the No U Turn stable either as lead credit or collaborator or on the remix tip. Or let's say heavily indebted to No U Turn.


Pearsall's spiel about the mix here - along with an old review of mine of the Techsteppin' comp

Tracklisting:
01. Dom & Optical – Quadrant Six (Fierce Remix) (Audio Couture)

Great selection if I was to point out one heinous ommission it would be - 




Fellow traveler wise I mourn the absence of "Shadow Boxing" and "Metropolis"

Squadron is a tune!

I did include it on a mix called Orange Dawn a few years back, and I have been trying to follow a policy of not reusing any tunes from mixes that I have made since my daughter was born five years ago (arbitrary rules are the best rules):
