[RATING: 5] My neighbour is fucking fit – the one across the road that is – not the ones either side. My Neighbour Is‘ Fish & Chips on the other hand is the latest nom de breaks of Robot Needs Oil. And I’m pretty hot for both of them. I always felt the term ‘roller’ was grossly mis-applied to certain drum n bass cuts which could never pimp it loose enough to properly warrant such a description. The nine tracks here however, appear to have been created with precisely that term in mind. The Fish & Chips EP recalls the the high points of an era when club nights mixed up the hip-hop, the rare groove and the breaks. It’s all about the Funky Drummer-based b-boy flavour of Little Freak and the stoner groove Mr Scream on this, the Cold Busted label’s first picture disc. Yes. It’s out on wax!
