Some remixes you won't have of tracks you will have...
Hmmm, back from a weekend away and time for something a touch more obscure.
This white label E.P is credited to Chad Jackson, the 1987 DMC winner don't you know... and the man behind "Hear the Drummer Get Wicked". Even former world champion DJs have to pay the mortgage I guess, although getting snippets of Hijack vocals into the charts raises a eyebrow or two.
I'll have to guess at around 1987/88 for this, as the 5 mins I have spent thoroughly researching it have yielded no release details. It might not actually be Chad Jackson at all (Feel free to identify if it isn't).
Sounding delightfully amateurish in places, conjouring up images of Fostex four track recorders, ST's, Amigas, UK 12"s for £2.98, leather shoulder holsters and jumpers for goalposts etc.
Anyway, no problem with the selection of tracks, we are brought....
"Bring The Noise"
"My Philosophy"
"Paid in Full"
Plus some house track that means nothing to me....
As I haven't posted for a little while I'm also going to include two bonus tracks, neither from vinyl regrettably but both essential breakbeats.
Firstly, as used above by BDP, Stanley Turrentine's "Sister Sanctified" from 1972 (featuring Bob James, which is nice). Also from 72, Babe Ruth's "The Mexican", which you can hear parts of in the Paid In Full remix (particularly on the cheeky run-out).
Enjoy.

Move the Beagles
Moving along in a kind of related fashion from the start of the week, today we have two tracks with roots in Bristol.
Firstly, more Wild Bunch, this time with their remix of Eric B & Rakim's "Move The Crowd" from 1987.
Secondly, Tricky with "Smoking Beagles", a B-side from the Tricky Kid EP, released in 1996.
Enjoy!
P.S, More UK hip hop to come shortly....
