“Addicted To Bass” by Josh Abrahams & Amiel Daemion

"Addicted to Bass" first surfaced on Sweet Distorted Holiday, Josh Abrahams' 1998 album, with Amiel Daemion out front on vocals, and it's drum and bass that forgot to keep a straight face. In the Mix's Nick Jarvis later summed up the appeal: sing-along vocals, winking drug references and a monster bassline that sounded like dubstep before dubstep existed, riding scattershot jungle breakbeats, pop smarts and club chaos in one package.

The original reached number 15 in Australia and 27 in New Zealand, and the song later turned up on Stuck in a Groove, the 2002 album Abrahams made as Puretone. A 2002 remix by Apollo 440 took it further still, to number two in the UK and the top of the US Billboard Dance Club Play chart. In 2015 In the Mix ranked it 14th among the 100 greatest Australian dance tracks.
