Dan le Sac VS Scroobius Pip Review


Letter From God to Man, Dan le Sac VS Scroobius Pip

Radiohead’s The Benz is an album that many of us hold very dear to our hearts, and the thought a couple of young upstarts taking Planet Telex and ripping, chipping and chopping it up is more than enough to raise a few heckles. This is indeed what the aforementioned DJ’s have done, but please, all Radiohead fans, please, give this track a listen before passing judgement.

Thom Yorke’s melancholy intonations are the perfect compliment to Scroobius Pip’s literate, social critique, delivered, as it were, from the mouth of God, and Dan Le Sac’s superlative cut and paste skills take this track all the way into ‘epic’ territory, guaranteeing an enthusiastic dance floor audience. And if all this isn’t enough for the Radiohead purist in you, you might like to know that the single also includes a B-side remix by the bands unofficial sixth member and regular producer, Nigel Godrich. Additionally, there are remixes of the track by The PolarBear P.S., we thee! and DJ Sega.

Dans le Sac and Scroobius Pip are without doubt one of the freshest, most innovative hip-hop acts around.
