It’s not often a new comp unearths an entire treasure trove of unreleased classic club mixes, but that’s what ‘Hard To Find’ has managed to do. Over two unmixed CDs from Sasha and David Morales to Ben Liebrand and E-Smoove, it pulls together rare remixes of The Beloved, Bassomatic and – yes! – D:Ream, its remix credits reading like a list of the hottest talent the early 90s had to offer. A pitch-perfect snapshot of a time when commercial, creative and post-Balearic requirements remained fused to the dancefloor, ‘Hard To Find’ is an essential purchase.
