This was the track which declared Andrea Parker’s Touchin’ Bass well and truly open for serious business in 2002, intriguingly seeing the London B-girl techno maverick hooking up with Detroit ghetto-tech masters DJs Assault and Godfather. There was a surge of interest in Motor City booty-bass at the time and this lascivious beauty became an anthem to drag it humping and sweating into European club culture. Now it’s back with a bevy of high-tensile remixes. Miami’s Alpha 606 kicks off with another new mutant which boosts the spaced acid-electro with live latin percussion to roof-raising effect. Kero from Detroit Underground Records pumps the bass for a rectal boomer while Edinburgh’s Weedjs pleasure a gaggle of scary monsters in their subtly-titled Touchin’ Boobs mix. Ireland’s Ed Devane rips into the track emerging with a kicking, screaming drum ‘n’ bass-tinged sphincter-shredder. Supreme punk-electro [not the other way round] and it’s only the first instalment.
