Review: It's been a short while since we last took in a project if this magnitude from the Big Fat Mama Beats crew, who unveil a fabulous full length album drop from The Criminal Minds, who really do go all out to explore the full breadth of the breakbeat sound. From the more experimental, junglist sounds of 'Analog Dog' and 'Bomb Drops', to the throwback, nostalgic energies of 'Rocksteady' and electro-inspired flavours of 'Twin Sunset', this album covers some serious ground moderately quickly! For us, the title track 'Dirty Little Boxes' alongside Nathan Green is the clear standout, adding a dash of class to the tracklisting with it's heist-like bass grooves and percussive influxes. We also enjoyed the high energy bass sweeps and drum energies of 'Cracked' which again takes us to the complete other end of the spectrum. Awesome work!

Before setting global music charts afire with his Fatboy Slim alias, Norman Cook was merging his love of '70s funk breaks with classic Jamaican dub sound system rhythms. Shortly following his stint with UK indie popsters the Housemartins, Cook founded Beats International as a creative outlet for his growing interest in dance music. Using studio musicians, rappers, vintage vinyl recordings, and samples, he fashioned clever, catchy pop tunes that were to become the basis for the genre now known as "funky breaks."
This collection compiles some of the high points of the Beats International catalog with some of Cook's other early production credits and remixes. Cook's debt to Jamaican producers is clearly indicated by "Tribute to King Tubby," a homage to the slain dub remix innovator, while on "Echo Chamber," he juxtaposes a Steve Miller vocal refrain with ragga vocalizations and a house-styled 4/4 pulse. This unlikely combination of sources is held together by a relaxed, dubbed-out production. Cook also borrows from French electronic music pioneers such as Jean Jacques Perry; of particular interest is the remix of Perry's "E.V.A.," which mixes kitsch melodies from a Moog synthesizer with an uptempo hip hop break.

All these tracks have a characteristic colour that was inherent in my sound in 2017, which is why it is called distorted. They have all been played both in my mixes and at all of my parties in recent years. For me this is like a starting point, albeit a distorted format of my own sound. Enjoy
