The sound of Amsterdam in the mid '90s... admittedly, I was in highschool in suburban upstate NY in the mid '90s, but in my heart I yearned for the freedom of the A'dam rave scene! 100% Pure released 24 12"s between '93 and '98, after which they went bankrupt and took a six year break. Since '04, 100% Pure has been back in business, and their most recent 12" PURE #56 was released in November '09. Relentless, hypnotic, quirky, tripped out, 100% Pure!
