cringing his way through Newsnight interviews talking about 'ambient chillax', one of the many reasons that the leading gent of UK electronic music was generating such a buzz was his ballsy takes on chart-straddling pop, hip-hop and R&B hits from across the pond. One of the few to ever see life on vinyl was this twisted, synth-and-clicks-driven version of Destiny's Child's 'Bills Bills Bills', which appeared alongside an 'A Milli' remix on an unofficial white label. And even as the innovative Brit finds his services under request from the likes of Drake and RZA, his early days still sound something like a future that we're yet to catch up with.
