I have to agree with Tom - reminds me of the worst characteristics of big
beat
Ed Banger records even have Midfield General (owner of Skint - original
home of Fatboy Slim) doing a remix of Krazy Baldhead
and it's a straight-up full on big beat rave sound complete with the
hip-hop vocal sample
Imo - DJ Mehdi is about as hip-hop as the Freestylers ("B-Boy Stance"
anyone?)
