WOW... this is one I do remember 😃![]()
Do you? 🤟My first No 1 ! Co produced with Coldcut and came out this week in ‘88. Spent quite a few weeks at number 1. I remember Matt and Jonathon were completely blown away when I brought the Akai S900 in and programmed the beats with an Atari running Iconix,, initially they just wanted me to do a bass line, but it got quite involved when I started adding the extra keys and string samples( which I got after I had swapped some of my beats from my sample library, (I’d spend days sampling up cds and drum machines looking for isolated beats) I did this with the producer of the ‘Real Thing’, so those strings have some provenance and history in there !) I followed up with co-writing and producing Yazz’s debut album ‘Wanted’ ...Matt and Johnathan went on to found possibly the coolest record label in the universe, Ninja Tunes ...Never look back 💥
