The four-track 12\" captures the stripped-back, groove-heavy sound of the London house underground just as the foundations of what would become known as UK tech house were taking shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eHousey Doingz was a collective of influential London producers including Terry Francis, Nathan Coles, Laurant Webb, Dave Coker and Justin Bailey, whose productions helped define the raw, funky and deeply rhythmic side of 1990s British club music. Their music drew on American house and techno, dub bass and the stripped-down sensibilities of labels such as Relief and Cajual, while developing a distinctly British late-night club sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThe EP opens with “Ride”, a hypnotic, groove-led production built around tight house drums, understated synth textures and a weighty bassline. “Rim” follows in similarly stripped-back fashion, demonstrating the group's ability to create maximum dancefloor impact from relatively minimal ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eOn the B-side, “Naff Off” and “Naff On” continue the EP's rough-edged, funk-driven approach. These are tracks designed for the club rather than the pop charts, with the spacious arrangements and emphasis on rhythm giving them the timeless quality that has helped Housey Doingz records remain popular with DJs and collectors decades after their original release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThe subsequent history of the material is a testament to its enduring reputation. “Ride” and “Naff Off” were included on the 2024 \u003cem\u003eA Sillybration II\u003c\/em\u003e compilation, alongside other Housey Doingz recordings from the 1990s. Sushitech described the collection as bringing together sought-after tracks and milestone classics, noting that many of the original Housey Doingz productions had only appeared on limited vinyl pressings and had become expensive on the second-hand market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eFor collectors of 90s UK house, tech house, deep house and underground dance music\u003cspan\u003e, the original Pagan 12\" is particularly appealing. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRide EP\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e offers an early glimpse of the sound that would become increasingly influential through the work of Housey Doingz members and the wider London scene, making this a strong original pressing for fans of Terry Francis, Nathan Coles, Wiggle-era house and classic UK tech house.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTracklist\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSide A\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col start=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRide\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRim\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSide B\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col start=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNaff Off\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNaff On\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BKfrd4CQXY4?si=viYSS5bXhoP6WTbL\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sounds + Grounds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55290961330518,"sku":"PAGAN 007","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1009\/1013\/7686\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_86cba7c9-023e-4e05-b96a-3398a42f8ec1.jpg?v=1789040846","url":"https:\/\/www.sounds-grounds.co.uk\/products\/housey-doingz-ride-ep","provider":"Sounds + Grounds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
