WHAT JAMES HAMILTON HAD TO SAY ABOUT THIS RELEASE:
DOUG E. FRESH ‘Just Having Fun’ (Streetwave MKHAN 64)
This def package contains from Doug’s second single, when billed as Dougé Fresh with DJs Chill Will & Barry Bee on Enjoy, its B-side 108bpm ‘Just Having Fun’ and acappella ‘Bonus Lesson #1 — No Music’, plus from his debut as Dougy Fresh on Vintertainment the 104½-104⅓bpm ‘The Original Human Beat Box‘ – all full of blustering blowing and burping with rap support — but best of all is Mastermind’s brand new brilliant 106-106⅓bpm B-side ‘Fresh Mix’ of the full ‘Just Having Fun (Do The Beat Box)’ and ‘The Original Human Beat Box’. Now — if you follow this so far — that side really is a rival to ‘The Show’, showing off his vocal gimmick most excitingly, and should be heard. Talk about Fresh!
