Essential big-beatism for the deep heads. If you haven't already rinsed the shit out of Brothers Gonna Work it Out, you don't need this yet. This the follow up to that. It's fuckin good.
Edited 2 months agoThe first of the three-part "Live At The Social" mix series, this uptempo mix from 1996 is a showcase of the styles that influenced the Chemicals' big beat music of the '90s: golden-age hip hop (Cash Money & Marvellous, Erik B & Rakim), refried funk and soul (Meat Beat Manifesto, Crooklyn Clan), breaks (Carlos Berrios, Red Snapper, Tim Love Lee), acid breakbeat (DJ Who, Metro L.A.), electro (Davy DMX, Will Webb), tech-house (Funk D'Void), ragga breaks (Selectah), and funky soul (Eddie Bo). There are just three big beat tracks here (all by the Brothers themselves), with the Chemicals having released a more big beaty mix earlier in the year ("Brit Hop And Amyl House").
There are a few highlights here that hardly ever get aired: Meat Beat Manifesto's rare cut & paste gem "Cutman", hip hop classics "Mighty Hard Rocker" and "Juice", and the Brothers' own jaw-dropping remix of Lionrock's "Packet Of Peace". The juxtaposing of a range of dance music genres makes for an interesting mix, despite it fading towards the end with some overplayed tracks. (7)- I had every 90's material of the chemical brothers except this comp and I expected something special. unfortunately, it was only above average. brothers gonna work it out is much better.

"Live at the Social Volume One is a DJ mix album by British electronica duo The Chemical Brothers, released in the United Kingdom in May 1996 at the Heavenly label and comes in six-sided digipak, as its only release (see 1996 in music). It has also been bootlegged under the album name "AuGmEnTeD", which has the same music, but with different song titles.
It is a recording of a live set at The Social, a nightclub in the United Kingdom."

This record was a gateway to breaks for me in 1997. I learned about so many breaks artists either directly or indirectly by lookinga t the setlist.
Technically speaking the mixing won't blow you away, but it's clean enough to make a good album. But mixing isn't the point - the range and creativity across breaks-related genres is top notch. The set starts out fun and funky, climaxes and resolves in great form. Worth picking up.
Usually, I don't like DJ mixes, but this one rocks the house! It's the best DJ mix I've ever heard! The tunes are wicked and the Chemical Brothers' mixing skills are greater than great. Furthermore, it's a live recording - usually live recordings are more rough, lovely and sincere. So is this one.
This CD is quite rare, so if you see it - GRAB IT at any cost!
