I think I'm starting to run out of barely-known acts from the 80s and 90s to write about. I've gone pretty deep down the new wave/dance/electronic rabbit holes, but are there any acts out there you all would recommend that I haven't yet featured on this blog? Any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm trying to get more into 90s dance music, but there's just so much of it! I love acid house and trance, if that's any help to anyone thinking of recommendations. Tonight's post is all "dub," a genre whose defining aural charactistics are as mysterious to [...]

Beats International - 3 Foot Skank (Monitor Mix) ( mp3 ) 1991
Beats International & Lindy Layton dropped 'Dub Be Good To Me' way back in 1990. Lindy seemed to be on TV all the time back then, That was a good thing. Love the Morricone sample with the Dub bass. Buy Beats International's music from: Follow @electronicrumor
En admettant que vous soyez encore loin d'avoir la majorité ou que vous vivez dans une cave depuis 20 ans, on ne vous apprendra rien de l'impact qu'a eu le titre " Dub Be Good To Me " du groupe Beats International sur les dancefloors du monde entier. On vous notifie juste au passage que l'un des protagonistes qui se cache derrière ce pseudo n'est autre que Norman Cook aka Fatboy Slim . Ce hit sorti en 1990 sur le label Go! Beat (Sia, Portishead, David Holmes) est au départ paru sous l'instrumentale "The [...]

With increasing amounts of free music being distributed legitimately via social networking sites, yesterday it was Rusko 's turn to drop the second installment of his Lost Dubs via twitter . The pack of dubs features five tracks including collabs with Skream and Clipz (a guy who also goes by the name of Redlight ). My picks from the bunch are: • Rusko & Skream - Dutch Flowers (Trial Inna Babylon Mix) [...]
Tomorrow marks the birthday of Norman Cook . Better known to most as Fatboy Slim , he was born Quentin Leo Cook in 1963 in Reigate, Surrey, England. There he began playing in bands, before becoming interested in deejaying and hip-hop culture while in Brighton to attend Brighton Polytechnic. Though he had hits as a member of The Housemartins , Beats International and Freak Power , he achieved his greatest success after adapting the Fatboy Slim moniker in 1996. While he hit the Top 40 with "Everybody Needs a 303," from his debut, [...]

"30,000 singles". So boasts the back cover of my copy of the Guinness Book of British Hit Singles. The 1995 edition mark you. So you can probably add, what, another eight or ten thousand to that tally now (especially given the remarkably short chart-life of a pop single nowadays). So what, you might reasonably ask? Well, I mention all this because the music radio stations of the UK seem fixated on an absolutely miniscule percentage of these songs, some of which weren't exactly huge in the first place. Take Waiting For a Star to Fall [...]
I recently pillaged my blogroll of dead and out-dated links and am in need of MP3 blogs to discover and link to. Everyone leave suggestions in the comment section - whore yourself if you want, it's fun and all the cool kids do it. My blog is read by literally...um...a few people everyday and a link from me will totally make you hot shit forever. A quick little list of things I look for in a blog: No rapidshit or other download service links - pay for your own server, it's cheap. [...]
![1990 "Dub"-style Pop Cover Versions [2]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1608370_lg.jpg)
Beats International - Dub Be Good To Me Hearing Only Love Can Break Your Heart again reminded me of this track, which also falls into the very specific genre of "Dub" style pop cover versions from 1990. As far as I can think (and I haven't thought very hard at all about this!) these may even be the only two tracks in existence that fit the genre. If you can think of any others then leave a comment to let me know. Obviously there are hundreds of "proper" [...]
Some jazzy soul from an early incarnation of Norman Cook (aka Fatboy Slim). After the 1988 demise of the fourth best band in Hull, the Housemartins, Brighton-born bassist Norman Cook returned to DJing. He launched his career away from the Housemartins in 1989 and 1990 with a series of singles. These included, "Won't Talk About It," featuring the falsetto vocals of Billy Bragg and "For Spacious Lies,". Cook then formed Beats International, a loose confederation of studio musicians including vocalists Linda Layton and Lester Noel, rapper MC Wildski, and keyboardist Andy [...]
De vakantie is weer voorbij, tijd voor een frisse seizoenstart van de eclectro weekend (vh house) classic. Iedere vrijdag een enigzins electronische topper uit vroeger jaren waarmee je je spieren vast los kunt schudden voor het weekend. Beats International , ooit een projectje van Norman Cook aka Fatboy Slim trapt af met Dub be good to me uit 1990. a Eclectro - Weekend Classic
Ah to be a 23-year-old from Brooklyn who likes electro and remixes and mash-ups. We got an email from Drew aka fitforuse today with this new edit of Beat International, who are probably best known for what happened to the group's principal, Norman Cook, a half-decade after the band's demise. Cook released Better Living Through Chemistry , under the monker Fatboy Slim . (mp3) Beats International - For Spacious Lies (fitforuse edit) Godspeed!
By no particular intentional design, this is my 150th post according to the WordPress dashboard thing. That would mean that I've written an average of 2.5 posts a week since initially putting this place together, and I really didn't think I was that productive. This post has been sitting in my draft folder for a while, festering while I try to ignore it but with a milestone approaching I must rid myself if the millstone around my neck. It started coincidentally enough because I was looking through some older posts, and Smith & Mighty stuck out somehow leading [...]
