DJ-Kicks
This is a continuous in-the-mix CD compiled and mixed by Stereo MC's.
Fans of the Stereo MC's who have been waiting since 1992 for a follow-up album to their brilliant and acclaimed CONNECTED may be somewhat disappointed to discover that this is a mix compilation. Our only advice to them is: don't be. Here you will find a jewel box of beats and breaks, and in amongst them two original tracks by the Stereos themselves. The mix opens with what sounds like a recording of a child at a yard sale before launching auspiciously into "Moon Trek" by the Mike Theodore Orchestra from 1977--a funky and dramatic overture to the blend of hip-hop from both sides of the Atlantic, with and without rapping.
The old school rap is represented by Kool G Rap & DJ Polo's "Road To The Riches" and the Disco Four's "Do It, Do It" while the more avant-garde material from the UK comes in the form of the Herbaliser and Red Snapper. If you are a confessed "beathead," then there is a plethora of styles here, all united by big, phat beats, so effectively used by the MC's in their own productions. So, while you're waiting to be "re-connected," get DJ KICKS.
