Dig Your Own Hole

Released

The post-rave UK dance scene seemed up for grabs in the middle of the decade, but after a couple of Mancs with a thing for ’82 synthpop and ’88 hip-hop laid a major claim to it with their ’95 debut, this broke them big trans-Atlantic. The collab with one of those Oasis Gallaghers got them labeled “rocktronica,” but their big beat with bigger breaks scratches the kind of polychromatic “what if the Bomb Squad did mushrooms” itch you didn’t know you had.
