the basement jaxx "fly life" american ( i think) remixes also have a version
with someone toasting over it. veryverynice, though it has sort of a strange
layout for mixing in that it start with straight beats and then there is the
flylife mian noise and then there is toasting. cool thread as i have alwys
thought ska and house had a sorta similar vibe that might work together and
i have been listening to desmond dekker alot lately.
