WHAT JAMES HAMILTON HAD TO SAY ABOUT THIS RELEASE:
BOOGIE BEATS ‘Rebel Beats 2’ (Pan Trax PTRB 002)
Equally enigmatic, this episodic 91-91⅓-91-91½-91⅔-91⅓-0bpm rare groove bootleg scratch mix medley is slower than its Public Enemy-based predecessor and perhaps not so floor-filling, but good of its type, flipped by the 118½bpm ‘Don’t Give Up’ homegrown house bounder with message lyrics (and two dubs).
