Sparking quite an interesting throwback into the British music industry, Joe Average ties together three pioneers of the UK rave scene, Rich, Mad Mick, and Prof. The trio had a successful project running in the late 80s, with their last performance dating back to 1989. After more than 30 years, they decided to team up again and release an intense, classic rave tune, ‘Panic Buttons’.
Once roaring figures of the British club scene, Rich, Mad Mick and Prof have since taken different paths, although we should mention that Mick is the sax player behind the massive hit ‘Infinity’. We suspect they played quite a pivotal role in the scene back in the day. It’s great to see them returning to music, extending their electrifying and vibrant jungle-flavoured rave character to ‘Panic Buttons’.
Faber’s evocative and anthemic vocals are a contemporary addition, helping Joe Average fit a more modern flair. Yet, the track still sounds nostalgic and charismatic, a glorious snapshot of another era. Furthermore, the trio found each other almost by chance, after a series of fortunate events. As Rich explains: “It was like the universe was telling us to finish what we started.”
