Plump Night Out

Classic album!

2 years ago nobody had even heard of the Plump DJs. The year 2000 is when they exploded on the scene. Their style of breakbeat is tough, dirty, and full of low-heavy bass. Although some could describe it as dark, I feel that it has a very funky and feel good vibe to it. This CD contains an intro, 7 original tracks, and 5 remixes woven and blended together into a continuous solid mix. This album's awards include Pete Tong's 'Best Breakbeat Album', Timeout and Mixmag's breaks album of the year. Since their Finger Lickin' debut, the Plump DJs have won support from DJs as diverse as FatBoy Slim, Annie Nightingale, Boy George, Adam Freeland, Artful Dodger and even Sasha! Two of the tracks on this album were even featured in DTS surround in the Sony PS2 Game "SSX Tricky." I definitely reccomend this CD to anyone who is looking for something different and new to add to their collection. An instant classic for the breakbeat genre.

Just awesome, no-frills dance breaks. Clubbers will have heard it already. Headphonauts will buy it for the bleeps and chirps but end up sashaying across the floor in their swivel chairs. Dammit, they might even GET UP and dance. It's that good. You might think you didn't like techno, or electro, or even disco. Then you heard THIS...For my money, this beats even the admittedly excellent follow-up, 'Eargasm'. That has more cochlea-twisting studio prankery, but this has that sawdust-on-the-floor, Flat-Eric-limbs-everywhere edge to it. If you know what I mean.Only a CORPSE could fail to enjoy this.

Finally, breakbeat has been delivered for the pure pleasure seekers, without the nu-school obsessiveness or party inanity. The Plump DJs deliver a dose of beats to those of us lamenting the dwindling genre that got our blood boiling in the first place, picking twelve of their original tunes and remixes whipped to delight and assuredly for the dance floor.Low-slung basslines, chunky beats, and aimed to appeal, you get "Electric Disco," riding the deep frequencies to describe itself perfectly, and their own "No Way," a Janet Jackson take done futuristic funky. Also needing a mention are the spine-tingling minimal rumbler "Bumper" by Elektronauts and doses of invigorated old-school electro ("Fever") or funk ("Galaxy").At a tight 60 minutes, the party wisely ends before the workout becomes a headache. For those wondering what existed between Fatboy Slim's factory tunes and Adam Freeland's serious bodyrockers - you've found the answer, plumped to perfection. Grade: A-

Being realativly new to breakbeat i was totally taken with the prduction and the influences they emulated. A must for any dj who wants to get the dancefloor rockin!!
