He's had a couple of breakbeat albums out : 'Peanut Butter Breaks'
which contains the tracks 'Lunar Props' from the E.P. of the same name
and 'Phanatik Beats' which has just been released on his own Stone's
Throw record label which I haven't got round to picking up yet so I
can't really comment on it.
You can also find a (slightly) different version of the track 'The
Chronicles' on Bomb's 'Return Of The DJ' compilation which came out
about a year ago and which should not be missed.
He also did a remix of 'I Don't Give a F**K' by Big Kwam released on
single sided 12" on Blindside Records (BSR003R) which comes highly
recommended for hip hop fans.
This is about all I have heard about him apart from production on a
few rap 12"s whose titles escape be at the moment (Charizma is one of
the artists that springs to mind as well as the title 'Step On Our
Egos' which I think was a various artists E.P. on South Paw records
but don't quote me on that) but these are all on American independent
labels so they might prove difficult to get a hold of but are probably
worth hunting down (I haven't heard any of them but what I have heard
of his has been excellent).

Colin.
