On the Floor at the Big Beat Boutique (mixed by Midfield General)

Amazon.co.uk Brighton's Big Beat Boutique probably wishes it wasn't called that these days. Ever since the Fatboy went supernova and the likes of Terrovision muscled in on the act, big beat's once underground kudos has been about as fashionable as clackers and not half as much fun. Still, the basic concept of playing "large" records in knock-'em-out fashion can still make a beered-up crowd howl with joy. Midfield General knows this to be true, and, although not one for creating seamless segues, does a pretty good job of serving up the fat ones. From hip-hop classics like Just Ice's "Cold Gettin' Numb", through to house, techno and soul, the emphasis is on big time tunes that will rock your world. Who could resist Daft Punk's glorious take on Ian Pooley's "Chord Memory", the malevolent strains of Freq Nasty's "SE15" or the scratchadelic breaks of the General himself? Monsieur, this time you are really spoiling us. --Paul Tierney Product description Midfield General - On the Floor at the Big Beat Boutique (m
