The original Work To Do was on Monte Cristo Gamble [sic] from 2000.  It's a bigold collage of beats, breaks and basslines from all sorts of sources.  many of which, i doubt I'd get the sample clearance for.  
The original vocal sample (an awful lot of work to do) and most of the other vocal samples) are from a vinyl of 'not the 9 'o clock news' - a British satirical TV programme that ran from 1979 to 1982 with Rowan Atkinson (later of Blackadder and erm. Mr. Bean), Mel Smith and Griff Rhys Jones as well as many others who would go on to great comedy fame in the 1980s and 1990s.
the whole track was heavily inspired by Coldcut's Beats and Pieces in it's cut and paste, constantly shifting arrangement.
This 2020 remake tones down some of the most obvious samples that would get me sued, and reworks a (slightly) more coherent arrangement.  it's still pretty nuts though.
there's another later version of Work To Do with more vocals and rapping on it.  If i get that properly sorted and mastered, it'll go up here as well!

PREMIERE: Coldcut & Lisa Stansfield - People Hold On (Damaskus Dub)

We are back again with another edit from @jabba-2-3 who has been deejaying for over three decades. Holding the residencies at the "moon" indie raves and the Rennes "made.festival". He has chosen to edit the cult classic  from Coldcut feat Yazz and the plastic population "Doctorin' the house"  from 1988 that we could not resist.  

Why is the song important? Coldcut is a British electronic music duo formed by Matt Black and Jonathan More. Pioneers of sample-based music and remix culture in the UK. Coldcut were among the first producers to treat sampling as an art form. They didn’t just loop beats—they layered samples from TV, movies, spoken word, and other records to build complex sonic collages. Founders of Ninja Tune, an influential independent record label that has shaped not only UK underground scene but an entire generation and beyond. 

At a time when house music was still largely underground and centered in Chicago, Doctorin' the House was one of the first UK tracks to fuse house rhythms with British pop and hip-hop sensibilities.

It helped popularize house music in the UK and Europe, setting the stage for the Second Summer of Love (1988-89) and the UK rave scene. 

Doctorin' the House showcased how sampling could be playful, political, and danceable, all at once.

In his own words...
I chose to edit this 1988 track because it was one of the first tracks (which I found so bizarre at the time) that introduced me to house music and later acid house. And I love this sample-driven style.
