Chuck Eddy's fave single of 2024 - "The Spark" by Kabin Crew & Lisdoonvarna Crew, from Knocknaheeny, Cork.
The entire post-98 quarter-century-long enshittification of drum + bass redeemed at a stroke. It was all worth it.
Kids + Breaks reminded me of this inevitably
The rapping though - as an example of Very White Rapping + high energy dance beat (the breaks are not very breaksy, more bouncy - ultra-linear NRG surge) makes "The Spark" seem more like an outcrop of this kind of thing and this kind of thing.
Something a bit unsettling about all these pre-pubes acting gangsta
"I don't wanna work, I'm a full-time G... I like Nike and Max on my sneakers / truth is, I don't like my teachers"
Like the comic strip styling of the video - puts it squarely in the Cartoon Continuum as well as the Toytown Techno lineage
