A Beige (Mix 1)
B Beige (Mix 2)

This is a masterpiece of early progressive/tech house released in 1999 by UK duo Circulation, consisting of Matt Jackson and Paul Davis, as part of their "Color Series." It's an austere record where tightly cut drums, deeply throbbing bass, and minimal, repetitive synths gradually dominate the space, steadily building the groove without relying on flashy breaks. Both Mix 1 and Mix 2 truly shine in long DJ mixes, perfectly capturing the sense of UK progressive house at the time evolving into deeper, more functional tech house. This timeless floor tool, unique to Circulation, naturally connects from the progressive sound of Sasha and John Digweed to later minimal/tech house.
