WHAT JAMES HAMILTON HAD TO SAY ABOUT THIS RELEASE:
COLDCUT featuring FLOORMASTER SQUEEZE ‘Beats + Pieces’ (Ahead Of Our Time AHED 1201)
Cold cutters Matt Black and Jonathan More kick off their own label with a massive 104-103½-0bpm scratch that chucks Vivaldi and Dr Who in with James Brown, Ted Nugent, and a whole lot more in a blazing display (bare 0-103½-103⅚bpm beats flip). Say kids, what time is it?
