Deviant (Social Classics Volume 1)

Stuart Patterson Presents Deviant (Social Classics Vol. 1) is a "quite crucial" compilation that masterfully captures the rootsy, eclectic energy of Patterson’s legendary Deviant club nights. Released in 2001 on the Heavenly label, the collection is a high-speed tour through diverse genres, seamlessly blending the post-punk urgency of The Clash and the deep house textures of Dubtribe Sound System with cult favorites like Earl Zinger and 23 Skidoo. Critics and fans alike praise the set for its "very nice selection of tunes," noting that it functions as an essential time capsule of early 2000s London club culture while remaining fresh and danceable decades later.
