Take a massive full on techno track like Waves by Erol Alkan and Boyz Noize, something like this:

On the flipside of the record is a great interview with Chilly where he talks about the making of the track and the joy of arpeggiation. My favourite bit is where he talks about Glen Miller’s “In the Mood” being the club banger of the day.
