Dance Anthem: Rank 1 ‘Airwave’

In 1999 trance was at its peak in the UK and much of Europe, and Dutch trance duo Rank 1 became huge sensations overnight thanks to their club smash ‘Airwave’ which was caned by all the big trance DJs.

I remember seeing Judge Jules drop this in the main room at Turnmills’ long-running Friday night ‘The Gallery’, and the entire club went insane.

Sadly, Turnmills is no more.

In the breakdown he started playing two copies of ‘Airwave’ and whilst one of them played out, he started drumming his fingers on the other copy like a live drummer, adding an extra breakbeat in the breakdown.

The clubbers thought they had died and gone to heaven.

Of course, now it sounds so cheesy but back then Rank 1’s music sounded very fresh.

Ultimately, this is one of the biggest breakdowns of all time.
