Just in time for the weekend - let's get some 90's trance going! Additive Records was a UK-based sub-label of the legendary Positiva Records, and while it may not have had the flashiest branding, it played a critical role in shaping the underground-to-mainstream pipeline of late ’90s and early 2000s electronic music. Think of it as Positiva’s cooler, more discerning younger sibling — the one digging through crates while the big brother was cashing radio hits.

Where Positiva was known for massive crossover dance anthems and polished commercial smashes, Additive was the vinyl-only proving ground — a boutique imprint designed to test the club viability of more progressive and experimental tracks. If a release did well on Additive, chances were good it might graduate to a full-blown Positiva release with the marketing machine behind it.

This was music for DJs, pure and simple. High-quality 12” pressings, remixes that weren’t afraid to be 9 minutes long, and a catalogue full of gems that would heat up the dancefloor before most people even knew the name of the track. I knew it for trance, but it also churned out massive progressive house records (the real progressive house, not this modern "Prog House" stuff) so we'll warm up this episode with a few house cuts before breaking away into their better known trance cuts.
