Later to become something of an underground dance legend, Helix makes the perfect debut on Stompin with N.D.E and was hailed as ‘the thinking man’s rave producer’ by Dream magazine.

A savage kick brings the techno sound and the beats are appropriately hard to match the vibe. The synth-led chord progressions bring some Trance flavours into the mix and the atmospheric vocals are chilled and soulful. Also featured is the slightest hint of acid keys, which make this a definitive freeform techno classic.

‘Before Your Eyes’ is a more upfront electro sound from Helix, with choppy melodies oozing with crunchy distortion, a hard-edged breakbeat and sublimely executed sample work.

ST 03 is Freeform history in the making!
