Bob Holroyd

Originally released in 1994, Bob Holroyd's effervescent, career-defining anthem 'African Drug' was included on both Francois K's Essential Mix and Coldcut's Journeys By DJ: Coldcut - 70 Minutes Of Madness. The first remix comes from the consistently trailblazing Four Tet. Clocking in at just under 12 minutes, there's only one word to describe it - epic. Using the African samples of the original, Four Tet builds a complex, glockenspiel-esque melody that slowly morphs into a feast of hypnotic percussion, pulsating sub-bass and dizzying, psychedelic FX. Following a brief remission around the halfway mark, the melody returns, unspooling into a climactic freak-out that's simply classic Four Tet. on the flip T.Williams delivers a mix with an absorbing, off-kilter percussive intro gradually gives way to a heavy yet streamlined 4/4 groove.
