yeah, skint is definitely the bomb. picked up several 12''s recently. check
Indian Ropeman, Bentley Rhythm Ace, Envorinmental Science. this kind of high
energy breakbeat shit ( a lot of it seems to be up near 120 bpm) is movin' my
booty more than just about anything these days. also digging the Headrillaz 12"s
on Gee Street, especially the remix of "Get Yourself Organized"

on the truly downtempo tip, digging the Uptight label from Austria. check the
"eastwest" ep by Mama Oliver, featuring remixes by kruder and dorfmeister et.
al.

another beautiful, slow track is "D' Ya' Dig" on the Abstraktion, Moves 'n'
Grooves ep on Pik'n'Mix.
