Most of you what happened when Marc Grouls, up north and back nearly three decades, decided to play Split Second's Flesh at the wrong speed (45rpm to 33rpm): "One Nation Under a (Slowed Down) Groove"... Those who don't know should read the 1991 eponymous article by Richard Norris (hat off to him actually).The story goes that it was 33rpm/+8, it's hard to find that handles the pure switch. In a way, this one does. just... It may be rough and unplayable but Grouls and the others were just spinning rough and unplayable records. so take it as an homage on a style that shaped a lot of what I am today.
HOMAGE TO THE GROULS ROUTINE (ISE8 VARIANT)
ps: let's see if anybody recognizes the original....
back when me and a friend were learning the decks as young fresh faced munkys we used to play Prodigy's poison at 45 instead of 33rpm, because we wanted to play at 125-128bpm we thought we were genius's but it turns out after finding an old mix CD that it just was a bit crap really. although we were genius's. obviously, but for totally different reasons.
