Edited one month ago"Beat Dis" streamlined the eclectic mash-up template of Double Dee & Steinski for the UK pop chart by layering a sample-collage of scratched-up b-boy funk, hop hop and cartoons over a thumping beat and catchy bassline. It even used some of the same samples as the original "Beat this" and Fiorella La Guardia's "What does it all mean?".
The 4/4 drums and electronic bassline (both written by Bomb The Bass) were in keeping with the burgeoning UK house scene (for which the cover art's smiley face, nicked from the "Watchmen" comic book, would become the iconic mascot). The rest of the record masterfully mixed and matched disparate samples in a way that Norman Cook & Co. would take note of, such as the Bar-Kays' funky guitar riff from ""Everybody in the street, get down to the funky beat".
The well-chosen hip hop soundbites - Hashim's "There's not a problem that I can't fix" - would become immortalised by the record's success and re-sampled on countless records as a result - just as "Beat Dis" had done with the "Lessons".
Reaching #2 in the UK (despite the annoying alarm clock beeps), Bomb The Bass showed that cut & paste could be successfully commercialised into a pop song format, laying the groundwork for the future big beat scene in the process. (8)
