Great British Dance: '90s

British dance music reached psychedelic intensity in the ‘90s, with a giddying turnover of ideas—techno, ambient house, drum ‘n' bass, big beat, trip-hop, trance—heading out of the raves and into the superclubs. With stunning velocity, we travel through the blissed reveries of The Orb to the despair of Portishead; the pounding triumphalism of Underworld to the cheeky squelch of Fatboy Slim.
