An iconic mix by the Chemical Brothers, weaving a variety of tracks into the powerful flow of a big beat for a dynamic feel.
Starting with Willie Hutch's song of the same name, the mix crosses a variety of genres, and The Chemical Brothers' discerning eye and compositional skills come together to recreate the energy of the dance floor, earning it high praise as a mix that symbolizes the driving force of the big beat era.
The opening track, Willie Hutch's track of the same name, sets the tone for the mix, and the tracks that follow create a dynamic flow that's characteristic of The Chemical Brothers. Tracks from a variety of artists, including The Micronauts and The Serotonin Project, are skillfully placed, creating a structure that maintains the low-key rhythms and stimulating textures characteristic of big beat, and the wide range of tracks they select serves as a direct reference to their roots. Their ability to seamlessly transition between different genres clearly reflects their perspective as a live DJ, and the elements of house and breaks that add a sense of tempo to the mix vividly evoke the atmosphere of the club scene at the time.
