4.0 out of 5 stars Straight Outta Finland, January 16, 2001

With hip hop beats that spiral out of control, some deep fuzz bass that will shake the fillings loose in your teeth and a batch of compositions that sound completely unique and fresh from one another these 3 production geeks have created one of the most eccletic and diverse albums of the year. Originally released in Finland before U.S. domestic release Pepe Deluxe have managed to churn out a 2001 hip grabbag of sorts that shines. With sprinkles of old 45 scratches and smoke filled upright bass riffs makes you wonder how vast and expansive these guys' record collection really is. There is something for everyone here that is the super sound of Pepe Deluxe. A mix of of Big Beat, Electro, acid jazz and rump shakin dance floor epics geared to make you listen and learn where the new skool of sound is heading. Straight outta Finland!

I rarely take the time to write (only if something is absolutely exceptional, or something completely disappointing). Emperor Norton is just one of those labels that you rarely go wrong trusting. I found this release by accident, surfing other Emperor Norton releases after falling for the Logan's Sanctuary release. This album has it all - big, satisfying beats with imagination. There is not a single track on here that isn't amazing. I love the creative use of "Love Hangover" in "The Beat Experience." For the extreme bass-heads out there, you will go nuts over "Thru the Motion" and "Super Sound."

I just caught the Finnish DJ's this past Friday night at First Avenue here in Minneapolis. The live show was great - imaginative spinning from a duo who obviously have a deep record collection and a knack for hearing an insatiable hook.

BUY THIS CD!

5.0 out of 5 stars For the hip hoppers, and chic hipsters alike., December 21, 2000

By A Customer

Pepe Deluxe craft beautiful hip hop inspired fusion with a touch of big beat and a dash of European electronica. I love hearing Europeans' interpretations of traditionally American music. Hip Hop has remained a very localized style of music, having been only touched upon by foreign musicians (i.e. mc solaar, dj krush for example). Pepe Deluxe, a trio of producers/DJs, are very much in touch with hip hop culture. Maybe TOO in touch at some points! Really, the skills are undeniably incredible, and the musicianship is top notch. DJ Slow, one of the three, is a European DMC champion and an amazing one at that! A track of his was featured on part 2 of the "Return of the DJ" series on Bomb Hip Hop Records. I highly recommend this album to hip hop purists and club goers alike. Its THAT good.
