referencing Who's The Bad Man?, 12", HG 022

A quality release that was a slow burner upon its release but has more than stood the test of time since. A jagged clunky knuckleduster of a track that smacks you right between the eyes and taunts you into cutting some of your more special late-night moves.

Bad Man personifies everything that was unique and expressive about the urban underground music scene in the UK in the early 90's with nothing more than a catchy hook, a dirty pair of trainers and plenty of attitude. Get yourself a copy. It's one of those standout tracks that works with everything and nothing. Brilliant.

referencing Who's The Bad Man, 12", HAND 003T

This track was first released on a white label and it did virtually nothing. Then it was picked up by the Leftfield owned 'Hard Hands' and proceeded to destroy dancefloors all over the place.

Quite simply this has one of the fattest examples of the Apache breakbeat you are ever likely to hear and one of the best 'dubby' bass lines ever.
