SkinHead Rhythm Phokal (UK)

Trainspotters will be foaming to hear that Skinhead is the combined alter-ego of The Light’s Joe Williams and Twisted family cat Benji Vaughan, and here we have a cute über-tribal number. The Junk remix on the A side takes a smooth rolling bassline, pokes it along into life with some very neat stabs and hypnotic vovals, centered round a pretty intense and totally loveable breakdown. The original mix on the flip takes a harder kick and is generally more caustic in its delivery, possibly betraying Benji’s filthy trance upbringing, he pondered as the tune escalated into a rather pleasant final stomp that would have the general effect of turning one of those trendy London tech nights squarely on its head.
