Ahhh.. the classic, refreshing taste of TB-303 over JP-8080. Carefully seasoned with a splash of 909, a dash of Matrix-6R, and a pinch of several modern synths, this energetic cliché was then obsessively overproduced with modern effects plugins that would have been a room of external effects - or years of CPU time - when this nearly-antique sound was contemporary. Damned if it doesn't make me want to dance though. No, I don't think it's done, but I have to let it go so that I can maybe work on something else at some point.

Live session under my D&B moniker CNVX from 2000 or 2001. Basically, it was what I thought were the best hard D&B tracks around at the time. Naturally, this was before I discovered proper raggacore and breakcore. ;)

This was also one of my earliest forays into mashups - as I remixed in a bit with Capleton, KRS-One, Shabba Ranks and even Eon (WHAT's IN THE BASKET?!?). Not proper mashups, mind you, but still, it was something.

Never Let

Solid Steel (24th May) Following on from last year's treatment of 'Paul's Boutique' (by DJ Food, Cheeba and Moneyshot), United States of Audio does the same with De la Soul's groundbreaking album 3 Feet High and Rising. It's not just a mix, but more like an audio documentary about an album that is also about to celebrate it's 25th anniversary. In his own words;
'Several years in the making and including around 100 tracks, this is my personal tribute to De La Soul's '3 Feet High and Rising'. Using original sample sources, album tracks, interviews and rarities, 'How High's The Water Mama' tells the story of one of hip hop's most influential albums.
When De La Soul's debut album dropped in 1989 I was ten years old. Yet, by some stroke of amazing good fortune a cassette copy of '3 Feet High and Rising' found its way into my hands thanks to my best mate's older brother (though I'm pretty sure said brother had no idea of this fact!). The music was a revelation and had a significant influence in shaping my musical tastes - in fact I can't think of any other album that has had such a profound effect on me as this one. Thus '3 Feet High and Rising' holds a special place in my musical affections. Now, some twenty-five years after its original release, it's time to pay my respect to Pos, Dove, Mase, and Prince Paul...'
