So the wait for Norm to get back to doing what he does best is over, and after a lengthy hiatus padded out with a plethora of remixes of his back catalogue, he’s back with a brand spanking new acid house workout aided and abetted by Hervé. Seriously retro, like Cook’s smiley face obsession, this is stonewashed denim, glow-sticks and Kickers and dancing to Carl Cox and Danny Rampling at Shoom in 1987. It’s a trip (to use yet another cliché from the era) but like all things musical and cyclical the timing for squelchy acid might just be right for 2010… so who’s ready as FBS reignites the fuse on what could potentially become the third great summer of love? Hervé, under his Action Man guise, adds an alternative take while other mixes ready to roll out come from Joris Voorn, Modeselektor, Reset and Ado.
