Krafty Kuts - Dynamite Love/Beer Chucka

Posted by Matt Oliver at 09/09/2008 11:33:32

A cross-breeding made concrete, featuring man-for-all-beats Dynamite MC getting copied and pasted from an appearance on a previous Krafty Kuts production (There They Go) over a Freestylers instrumental (In Love with You). Think that the two-track mash-up has had its day? Well Krafty Kuts originally did the Public Enemy/FreQ Nasty glue-job Amp da Noise, and that was nothing short of whopping.
 
The white label coming to life is based on a dinky synth riff, opened up on occasion into something more cyber-transmitted with a trace of fanged bite, but otherwise just set out to glide easily into the distance.  I.e., it’s near enough the leftovers of the ‘Stylers’ Push Up – sinewy, with a quick glance back to the synth-discovering 80s. For all its lack of imagination (after also being half-inched from KK’s Fabric mix), it fits naturally, nigh on unerringly well, with Dynamite’s rounded vocals comfortably making the relationship work. He’s in good humour, enjoying the feel of the mic in his palm while running spiel about partying hard and dismissing all general stay-at-homes.  
 
Beer Chucka collaborates with Deepcut, and is little more than an electro-shot, wiggy-ziggy riff bulleting round club corners. Some dude adds a huff and puff of oral percussion from the back. There’s the odd flange and drone to the decidedly complexity-free hook. And that really is about it. The lack of vocal might help divide opinion, seeing as it’s essentially a five minute loop of a stepping synth that to the wrong ears can gradually get more and more inane. For a bit of simple, Sweep from The Sooty Show-rewired fun though, it could well see the odd pint being spilt.

Simplicity done well, with KK underlining that party music thrives on straightforward, crap-cutting technique. Such are the squeaky high-ends of both that Krafty Kuts could well being finding time on the mobile phone circuit as well. And you won’t have to ask for it from under the counter either.
