A genre with the propensity to disappear up its own arse more than most, I know. However, at its best, it's fucking ace. Oxton Soul only ever dipped its toes in the D 'n' B pool, so I'll undoubtedly have missed loads of great stuff. Ergo, post some tunes please, heads.*
I'll start with some obvious ones. First up is the album version of Inner City Life by Goldie. It's only available in sections, so I'll post them because I don't think anything less does it justice - certainly not the feeble three minutes thing that got a single release:

Next is Brown Paper Bag by Roni Size and Reprazent. Mmmm, jazzy.

Miles From Home - Peshay

Hide You - Kosheen. I'm not sure how "down" this tune was, but it's ace so I'm including it.

There should probably be some Bukem stuff on here as well as that other bloke whose name escapes me (in fact I've got a couple of his tunes but can't remember who I mean - is it Adam someone?). Fill in the gaps please people and school my ass.
*This is a term used in Oxton to refer to those in the know about a particularly tune or "scene". Man.
