Yet another classic acid techno label! Ok, so some people don't rate the Smitten releases as highly as the Stay Up Forever, Routemaster, etc releases, but there has been some awesome stuff on the Smitten labels.

I love the way the label progressed as well. The early releases being acid trance, then full on acid, before the percussive releases. Highlights for me have to be:

Smitten 9 - Lawrie Immersion - Slut Fu*k.

The break in Slut Fu*k is sick! Head mashing sounds & great acid IMO. Bit of a bastard to mix though. By that I mean, I have not quite found anythink that really goes well with it.

Smitten 32 - X meets Y - 13.5% Extra.
Smitten 41 - Bodie & Doyle - Stop the Rush.

These 2 tracks are so different from any of the other releases IMO, both have a really chilled acid sound to them. 2 of the finest releases on Smitten. And if you don't like the trancy sound, both sides are hard as nails on the flip.

Smitten 34 - Audio Pancake - Meltdown to the Millennium.
Steve Smitten told me this was the worst selling Smitten release ever...God only knows why, as I think its awesome! From start to finish its quality!

All the Punk Floyd releases.

All amazing. The first acid techno super group. All hail Punk Floyd! :clap:

Smitten 36 - Vibe Bar Rejects - Harry's Delay.

Love this for that fu*king smoke alarm sound! When I have been a bit "under the influence" this always trips me out! :lol:

Smitten Remix 1 - Rozzer's Dog - Mad Cows on Acid.

Rozzer's Dog can do no wrong. Awesome tune & one of the Smitten's I need to complete my collection. Shame no ones willing to sell this to me (hint hint! ;) )

Smitten Remix 3 - DAVE the Drummer's remix of Purge.

Dark & hard and reminds me of one of the best ever Mark EG sets from Helter Skelter.

And last but not least...

Smitten LTD 5 - DDR - The Gift.

Such a wicked idea for a track! Took me ages to get hold of this again after some muppet put it on a space heater after they had taken it off the decks... A classic & clever tune.

So, Smitten...
