Review: So, what a pairing we have here, as old comrades and legends in their own fields: JFB and Beardyman get back into the studio together for a breakbeat epic with a tonne of original remix features. The track itself 'No Requests', is a jovial poke at what some would call 'unseasoned' ravers, constantly making requests to DJ's for things that are never going to happen. Beardyman provides the vocal humour, with JFB laying down the perfect backdrop. Remixes for this one includes fantastic recreations from the likes of Father Funk, Jesswah, Slamboree, Fort Knox Five, WBBL and Crazy Daylight, giving this one a high profile placement across multiple genres.
Review: Norman Cook still manages to remain relevant through three decades of electronic music. From his beginnings in indie act The Housemartins and chart toppers Beats International through to massive house 12's as Pizzaman and Mighty Dub Katz, to name but a few. His Fatboy Slim moniker has no doubt been his most successful venture, but unlike the funked up and party starting breaks of old, Cook now goes for a pumping electro house vibe on new single "Boom F**king Boom", a bass driven groove with a cheeky vocal refrain that takes its cues from current scene heroes such as Dirtybird or This Ain't Bristol.
Review: Former UK beatbox champ, comedian and tech-obsessed producer Beardyman released his second album, Distractions, last year. Now following on from its success, he releases another track culled from said LP, "Mountain Side", boosted by some new mixes. MAWT chills things out considerably; delivering epic beats and loops, woven into an M83-style hymn, Auralais returns to the days of broken beat, whilst Cosmodelica wraps things up nicely with some headnodding disco-funk.
