MAXIMUM BOOST (MADE IN LONDON)











"Marble Mix"?





 


















"Woking Cru"

Initially read "Mc BRISK" as McBrisk -  as in a Scottish name, rather than MC Brisk as in an MC

Special Request (Labello pt 2 - the samplige)

Ooh Macka Brown sampling the Pirates Anthem


4 Meg Soundboy with some nifty usage of "Can't turn me away" by Sylvia Striplin



Then there's Smokey Joe with a famous vocal lick






The "Special Request" vocal licks are sampled from Shut Up and Dance's "Rest In Peace" - but where did they get them from? 



Another iteration of that vocals lick - as well as another, different "special request" -  in this Reinforced tune 




Those reggae vocal licks from Smokey Joe's "Special Request" et al recur -  alongside JVC Force "Strong Island" riffs - in DJ Double G's UKG classic "Special Request" 


Ah (bit nuum nummy this) DJ Double G turns out to be DJ Gunshot as in No U Turn, making the same shift as No U Turn becoming Turn U On, but not sticking with the label

Real name Gordon Gummer, a veteran deejay on Don FM and Flex FM



a different "special request" occurs in this track - and the "special" recurs passim











A title-becomes-artist-name homage 




More Smokey Joe
