This track takes a whole chunk of "Dansatak (Q-Tex Remix)" and adds some breakbeats and synths.

A very good release from late 1994, The Stomper is basically a remix of Dansatak by Massive but without any vocals, instead it has sharper beats & smoother sounding percussion (personally I'd give it the nod over Dansatak, which to me sounds duller by comparison). Whilst a lot of the happy hardcore stuff was often considered quite cheesy, this one is well worth a listen. The b-side (Bust It) uses the female vocals from Fantic & Impulse Vol. 1 on Homegrown; it's a decent track but the a-side is the stand-out track here.
