• Title: The Best Of KMS Classics Pt 5
• Catalog: ARDI4483
• Released: 17.11.2023
• Type: Compilation

The fifth instalment of this series is a reminder of the impact that KMS had on dance music . Right across the spectrum, Kevin Saunderson's releases shaped the future. A case in point is Esser'ay's “Forces”, one of the KMS owner's many pseudonyms. The track's use of rumbling sub-bass and booming vocals proved influential in both garage and drum'n'bass – and it still sounds fresh. Part 5 features other similar landmark tracks. “Just Want Another Chance”, a Saunderson project as Reese, retains its eerie, otherworldly sensibility despite the passage of over three decades. However, it's not all about looking to the past. The evergreen “Rock to the Beat” is remodelled here by Smith & Selway, setting it in a brooding, pulsating direction
