        Yeah it is the original source, WhoSampled politics mandate to use the first track no matter what was the ACTUAL source, still believe Liam uses the Mark 45 King remix though... nice funky track.

            Is this a studio mix or DJ mix....??? I.e. Was this produced in the studio with over dubs and sampes OR was this actually mixed on two turntables..? It seems too tight a mix for a turntable mix.... But I agree with everyone else..Great track selection and very well thought out!.. ;)

                Picture Liam in the mix, throwing records over his shoulders in a rapid fire machine gun fashion and you're there. Quick cuts, great flow and a superb selection of tracks from the Sex Pistols to Brixton's Hijack, this is all about the breaks. A tight mix of classic and obscure tracks. If you take your beats seriously or just getting into diggin', you can't go wrong with this mix. Top Notch.

                    Say what you will about The Prodigy — I think they went off the rails after "Jilted" — but this mix session is a b-boy's dream. Liam Howlett has selected the best breaks, basslines and chorus from a few dozen classic tracks and blended them up here for your listening pleasure.

                    If you're looking for "Fat of the Land" style big-beat electronica, you won't find it here. What you will find is a gold mine of Howlett's influences from the '70s to the '90s, stuff that goes much deeper than "Firestarter".

                    Back when this album was released, I was a middle schooler with pretty narrow tastes living in rural Canada. "Dirtchamber" introduced me to a world of old school hip-hop, funk and electro music that I had no idea existed. Where else would I have come across Kool Keith and the Ultramagnetic MCs? Or Uptown's east-coast classic "Dope on Plastic", or the ridiculously hard Tim Dog/Krs-One crossover "I Get Wrecked"? And I wouldn't have been caught dead listening to Barry White prior to Howlett's clever segue out of the Beastie Boys.

                    It doesn't hurt that the mixing is flawless, and for the most part everything flows quite well. Choruses are joined by funky breaks, and new tracks are introduced with judicious use of looping, scratches and effects. Even the Sex Pistols and Jane's Addiction fit in, somehow.

                    Give this mix a listen: it expanded my horizons and maybe it'll do the same for you.

                      I neglected adding this to my collection for years until i picked it up a bargain shop a few year back- and its brilliant! to it is a kind of secondary version of Breezeblock set (some stuff where omitted, such as the genius mixing of Dynamix's give the DJ a break with the Beatles) Liam splices some of the best known hip hop, breaks, punk rock, bigbeat, some early british electronica, funk and a ton of other stuff to boot. from this record i discovered one of some of my most loved tracks which i love to DJ which is Babe Ruth's The Mexican and more recently, The Funky Nassau.

                      ideal for long journeys and just general listening. I honestly hope he will one do a volume 2, as i imagined his music taste has matured far further afield and he has new outlook. until then, there's always those radio rips of his classic rave days.. 10/10!
