Danny Rampling Still Knows What Is What

The vinyl edition of Danny Rampling's new compilation Turntable Symphony includes three full vocal accapellas including Roland Clark's I Get Deep, the track made famous by Fatboy Slim's Star 69 (you know what is what,…., what the f**k'). The Man featuring Ashley Slater's Question and Soul Providers' I Don't Know are the other two accapella's included on the triple pack album and all three are likely to start appearing in DJ sets over the next few months.

The CD version also includes sleeve-notes by React chief (and DJ magazine columnist) James Horrocks recalling Rampling's first induction into house.

"According to acid house folklore, he was the hapless, disaffected DJ clubber who took the magic pill to a house record in Ibiza, discovered the Holy Grail and unlocked the mind of dance music," says Horrocks.

"As the myth goes, when 'coming up' to the strains of the Nightwriters' Let The Music Use You'spun by DJ Alfredo during his legendary Amnesian house and Balearic set, he could be heard skrieking, 'Eureka-style', 'We may be onto something!".

Turntable Symphony is out now on React.
