Fatboy Slim – Everybody Needs A 303 (Harry Romero Remix) [Skint]

Legendary imprint Skint Records continue to deliver their masterfully curated remixes of label luminary Fatboy Slim’s seminal dance tracks. Garnering remixes from the industry’s most esteemed producers, with previous mixes from KiNK and Todd Edwards, next to step up with his unmatched club production wizardry is Harry Romero.

Taken from the timeless 1996 album ‘Better Living Through Chemistry’, ‘Everybody Needs A 303’ masterfully mixed funk/soul samples with off-kilter acid synth leads in a true homage to his favourite instrument. The Roland Magazine asked him about the muse for his 1996 debut single, “Everybody Needs A 303.” “It’s my equivalent of the Telecaster.”

American dance mastermind Harry Romero takes this unbounding love for the instrument on board, with a sleek, tech-edged rework that keeps the 303 at its core. Percussive drum grooves build throughout while the unforgettable synth line takes centre stage from start to finish. Teasing us throughout with vocal samples that nod to classic acid trax and nudging in selections of Fatboy Slim’s sample of Edwin Starr’s ‘Everybody Needs Love’.
