    Edge - Compounded: Cheeky remix

    Since I'm working from home at the moment, I've been downloading a fair amount of music.

    This morning I was grinding my teeth while trying to get through Global Underground DJ 002 mixed by Plump DJs without killing myself or someone else.

    Then this track came on:

    I won't say what I think of it until other people have had a chance to air their views!

    What do you make of this remix?

    It's ok, but nothing special IMO. The original's the best, but even that annoys me now! I loved it when it first came out but it just got played to death to the point where I began to hate it & I still do

    Plump DJ's did a decent 2001 remix Of Stakker Humanoid which I've posted in the VIP - viewtopic.php?f=82&t=12418

    Gotta agree mate, more a cut and paste job than anything else isn't it?

    It's still a lot better than the rest of the s*it on that Plumps album though, breakbeats gone right off the boil since 2005/2006.

    I remember that Stakker remix, was on one of their mix albums at the time I think?

    I don't like that mix, its pretty pointless, they didn't add anything to it and took away some of the best bits in the originals. It lacks energy. I was bang into Breaks a few years back, but agree with Payney that it hasn't been as good in the last few years. I think producers moved towards Electro, Dubstep, Minimal and Crack House etc now and there is now a distinct lack of good Nu Skool Breaks coming out.

    Things tend to go in 10 year cycles, so I'm waiting for nu-skool breaks to come back!

    In the meantime, Crack House has great potential from what I can tell - some mean basslines and trippy synths leaning back to the early-90s vibe, plus there's some nice breaks in there too.

    Actually, this tune by the man like Zinc (did he coin the phrase 'Crack House'?) is a belter. Love it.
    This is off his Killa Sound EP from last year - so god knows whether he'd say it's crack house or not.
    Either way, it's good. Listen for the cheeky wink back to a classic 93 track.

    This one is more 4x4, also by Zinc:

    Niceness.

    That's a shoddy remix. It's all over the place.
