The Greatest Mix Ever

Way back when, in like grade 7/8 when i first started getting into dance music, I bought "On The Floor at the Boutique - Mixed by Fatboy Slim", back when I didn't even know what it meant for someone to "mix" something. The first couple times I listened to it, it was okay, i was a bit confused since it didn't really sound like his albums, but about the 4th time i listened to it, i was hooked. I've probably listened to it about 500 times since then, just doing my homework or whatever in my room with my headphones on. Every 50 times or so, I notice new elements or techniques that never occurred to me. The way Norman mixes oldschool breaks, bigbeat and acid house is pure genius. He selects the tracks in such a way that the sound of this mix is a unique sound of its own. I look for acid house gems or rave compilations, downloading stuff by the same artists as on the tracklisting, but nothing would ever replicate the sound of this mix. The strength of the mix is that powerful. It sounds like a genre of its own. It's just Fatboy Slim's "On The Floor at the Boutique". Here's a high quality, straight-from-the-cd rip, in one track. Enjoy.

I also made an edit out of CLS's "Can You Feel It" (or is it Todd Terry?), imitating the way it's done in this mix. I just extended the intro and applied a dynamic EQ effect, so it sounds like it bubbles from below for a while and then slams into the full-on synths. DJs, let this play underneath a beat for 16 bars and then just slam it in. I think you won't be let down.
