I built and ran this website between 2000 and 2001, combining passion for popular music and programming. It was listed by MTV's now defunct MusicNewswire as one of the then nascent web's top twenty sources, alongside Billboard and VH1. The most exciting part of it — for a 13/14-year-old excited by new music — was receiving scores of pre-release CDs from record companies. The entire project was written entirely from scratch (frameworks and libraries were not the norm back then!) in PHP linking to a MySQL database, with HTML as well as a little CSS and JavaScript for the frontend; the code is available here.

Kiss Smooth Grooves 2001
2 March 2001 | 0:00:00 GMT/UTC

Kiss Smooth Grooves 2001 is a compilation featuring tracks from Shaggy, Eminem, Craig David and Fatboy Slim.

Two CD's starting with Shaggy's It Wasn't Me, his new single which got into the UK Top 40 on import sales alone. Eminem's The Real Slim Shady follows - from the Marshall Mathers LP. Also on the first CD is Dr Dre's Forgot About Dre and 911 from Wyclef Jean/Mary J Blige.

The second disc's a bit better, starting with a remix of Craig David's Walking Away, a remix of Sisqo's Incomplete. The infamous Stanton Warriors Remix of Fatboy Slim's Demons also features. Track eighteen is an instrumental of Wookie's Back Up - the track used on one of Radio One's current TV ads.

There's not much you can say about a compilation, it's not brilliant, it could do with some different remixes (maybe a different tracklisting).
