WHAT JAMES HAMILTON HAD TO SAY ABOUT THIS RELEASE:
WEST STREET MOB: ‘Break Dancin’ — Electric Boogie’ (US Sugarhill SH-460)
Rap-introed vocoder ‘n chatter 112bpm 12in electro scratcher full of scratching effects for mixers (last part possibly best), but then made tricky to mix smoothly by its uncompressed “open” sound (jolting brassy 118bpm instrumental ‘Let Your Mind Be Free‘ flip).
WEST STREET MOB: ‘Break Dancin’ — Electric Boogie’ (Sugarhill SHL 128)
With an odd “open” percussion sound but lotsa scratching and vocoder amongst all the disjointed 112bpm 12in activity, this isn’t as good as other scratchers like the B Boys or Motor City Crew but is different enough to stick out purely because of its naturalistic rather than electro rhythm (filler 118bpm inst flip).
