3. (NEW) The Cool Kids – 88 - Unreleased
The title ‘88’ says it all – it’s Run DMC / The Beasties rebooted. Works for the monkey though.

4. (2) Stoned Soul Picnic – One Dollar Hotel – 7” Single
Filthy low-slung instrumental funk from the Hammond heroes.

5. (3) Nice Up – Old School/ Virgo - 7” Single
Two super-heavy mash-ups: more old-school breaks bolted onto Dizzee than you can shake a fat-lace at, while Nas gets grafted onto the Tommy McCook / Supersonics loop that Lily Allen used on LDN.
