Four tracks in four versions; the breakbeat science the Chemical Brothers inherited
Four tracks, four versions each: Storm the Studio turns repetition into breakbeat research. Jack Dangers keeps revisiting the same material from different angles, and 'God O.D.' across its four parts is the clearest line toward the breakbeat language big beat would later cash in. Dense and difficult, and a lot of people built careers on what it worked out. The repetition is not padding; it is the laboratory.
№ 8 on The 10 Best Big Beat and Breaks Albums
Five years early and made in Swindon. Jack Dangers sampling culture into breakbeat before big beat, jungle or industrial dance had names, and half the producers who followed took it apart for parts without saying so.
