  • Skint turn 15 with new compilation image
  • Brighton-based label Skint will release a three-disc compilation later this month to mark their 15th anniversary. "Ten years on from its days in the sun, I can finally look back on big beat with some perspective and pride," wrote label co-founder Damien Harris in 2008. Throughout much of the '90s, Skint was a leading source of the ravey, breaks-influenced sound that acts like Fatboy Slim, The Prodigy and The Chemical Brothers had launched to widespread popularity by the end of the decade. The term itself can be traced back to a club night hosted by some of the folks at Skint: Big Beat Boutique at the since demolished Concorde club in Brighton. Skint 15 looks back on many of the label's biggest tracks, while also charting its progression toward more house and electro-influenced sounds. Early staples like Fatboy Slim and Lo-Fidelity Allstars make an appearances, as do post-2000 additions like Dave Clarke, X-Press 2 and Thomas Anderson. Some lesser-known tunes are included as well, including cuts by Noisia and Metal on Metal. Tracklist CD1: 01. GOOSE - Black Gloves 02. Fatboy Slim vs Herve - Machines Can Do The Work 03.
