WHAT JAMES HAMILTON HAD TO SAY ABOUT THIS RELEASE:
VARIOUS ‘Hot Plate 1’ (Ahead Of Our Time HOTHED 101)
Limited edition four-tracker featuring the Coldcut-produced FLOORMASTER SQUEEZE ‘Kick Out The JamEs’, a drifting 0-100⅔-101-0bpm voyage through shuffling break beats, sound effects and scratches with a drumkit-emphasising 0-101½-0bpm Speng version too, flipped by two Matt Black-produced North London rap crews, the similarly backed 97-97⅓-0bpm BASS INCORPORATED ‘Gaugin’ The BASS‘ and 96⅓-96⅔-0bpm SWITZCH featuring Overlord X ‘So Rock‘ (plus some incredible human ‘Scratchbox‘ by Midrange), none quite so crucial for floors as Coldcut’s earlier creations.
