The Charlatans – Nine Acre Dust (Chemical Brothers Rmx) [1995]

What a belter from The Charlatans and The Chemical Brothers. Back in ’95 the Chem’s were at the top of their game, their singles from Exit Planet Dust were epic in their own right but their remixes were untouchable. This being one of the very best as well, its “Big Beat” without the cheddar. Keeping the bulk of the Charlatans vocal samples but cutting them up with a brutally catchy breakbeat. But for me its the bassline on this beauty, its a low rumbling monster of a bassline, the kind that comes to get you on the dancefloor and drag you all over the club with a massive grin on your face. ‘kin Classic!
