Bootlegging seemed to die like the dinosaurs. Overnight. Mysteriously. Seemed like all the love on the net landed on Dizzy Rascal's lap. Of course The Junior Boys have squabbled for our affections too.

I thought bootlegs were ace. My fave being Soulwax's "Dreadlock Child", Freelance Hellraisers "Nelly-vs-Grange Hill" and (natch) Richard X's "Being Scrubbed." Often the best thing about them was the first two seconds. That delirious moment of confusion, misrecognition and fascination.

Then yesterday I heard Blu Cantrell's "Breathe" rubbed up against some Channel One or Joe Gibbs dub. You can tell it's by one of those studios cos of the clarity of the mix. The track actually works right the way through. Me and the dread at the counter were bowled over.
