As the Editor of Britain's Cross Rhythms magazine Tony Cummings is a first hand witness to the growth of the country's home grown music scene. No area of this growth has excited him more than the phenomenal move into the British dance underground.

N*Soul Records and Cross Rhythms magazine pooled their resources in 1995 to celebrate this phenomenon with the release of CROSS RHYTHMS - Dance From The U.K. Underground.

In 1992 The World Wide Message Tribe, came to Cross Rhythms' attention. The subsequent review of The Tribe's cassette release, "Take A Long Hike (With The Chosen Few)", lead to The Tribe coming to the attention of Scott Blackwell at his newly formed N•SOUL Records. The Tribe went on to be at the forefront of the Sanctified Dance scene with their debut album and "Dance Planet." Although as Tony points out, the Tribe are the very tip of a quickly growing underground of British Music, and "CROSS RHYTHMS - Dance From The U.K. Underground" demonstrate this."


House, garage, hip-hop, techno, trance, and the newest and most exciting one of all, jungle, are now being recorded in small studios (often in people's bedrooms!) throughout England . CROSS RHYTHMS - Sanctified Dance From The U.K. Underground places the spotlight on the emerging talent of British dance artists and producers including Tracey Riggan, Minds Of Men (perfecto), Breakspear and Soul Freedom
