Spooky - Don't Panic

Spooky's first single on the legendary Guerilla label sounds a bit of an oddity today. A dubby bassline and some ravey hooks are combined with a frankly bizarre vocal created by pitching up two samples- the "I've got a broken face, uh-huh huh..." line from The Pixies and "Suckers they be saying they can take out Adam Horovitz" from The Beastie Boys, Shake Your Rump. It all sounds a bit gimmicky compared to the lush progressive house Spooky would go on to make within a year, but what it lacks in classiness it certainly makes up for in catchiness.

Add Spooky to the long list of bands who owe a debt to The Pixies - the squeaky vocal sample in this tune is blatantly lifted from "Broken Face," from their album Surfer Rosa.
