Re: Dubnobasswithmyheadman: 20th Anniversary 5-CD Deluxe Boxset
Steven Hall made some comments in the Drift Facebook group about bigmouth that should be put down here for posterity and archival:


Quote:
when i released bigmouth it was a tongue in cheek nod to stonefox chase the theme of OGWT on the bbc and a number of italian house versions that had been floating around in ibiza from 88 onwards...if you were around in those days you'd understand the references.the credits on the label,the title,the artist name & the patrick hernandez born to be alive thing were part of the 'silly' concept that amused us and our mates at the time.
the release was something i did with underworld to start our relationship,to see if we all got on and could work together before we got into the serious biz ahead.
that said i thought it would be massive on the prog house scene and at festivals etc and it was. it was a huge track and sold loads and we all still love it today 'cause it set underworld off on their way as a new act unconnected to the stuff they'd done before.

the guys were desperate to get music out and 'cause we hadn't concluded the legal/biz stuff and the music wasn't exactly underworld-ish we made up a different artist name and did a couple of 12" until we could do our first official underworld release which was skyscraper.

I’d never heard of Freur when I met them and I’m eternally glad of that. 😀
