Album Review: Where's My Money (Clipz Remix) / Drink (Xample Remix) by TC
Alright, let’s get into this wild ride of an album. Released back in 2008 on D-Style Recordings, this little gem from the UK is a proper slice of Drum n Bass goodness. And yeah, it’s one of those albums that doesn’t try to be anything fancy—it just hits hard and gets the job done.
First off, you’ve got “Where’s My Money (Clipz Remix)”, which is basically a masterclass in how to make beats slap without overthinking it. The track kicks off with this gritty bassline that feels like someone’s revving up a motorbike inside your brain. Then TC comes in with his raw vocal delivery—no frills, no autotune, just straight-up attitude. It’s impossible not to vibe with lines like “Where’s my money?” because honestly, who hasn’t been there? That moment when you’re owed something and life’s being shady about it? Clipz nails the remix too; he takes what could’ve been a simple tune and cranks it up to DEFCON 5. You can tell Jon Midwinter put some serious thought into the production here—it’s tight but chaotic in all the right ways.
Then there’s “Drink (Xample Remix)”, which flips the energy completely. This one leans more into that jungle vibe, all breakbeats and rolling snares. Xample does a sick job keeping things fresh while still staying true to the original vibe. There’s this weird hypnotic quality to the track—it pulls you in and before you know it, you’re nodding along like some kind of human metronome. Tom Casswell deserves props for the engineering work here because everything sounds crystal clear even though it’s going at a million miles an hour. It’s the kinda track that makes you wanna grab a drink—not necessarily alcohol, maybe just a coffee or whatever—but the point is, it sets a mood.
What sticks with me most about these tracks isn’t just the technical stuff, though. It’s how they feel real. Like, you can hear the sweat and effort behind them. These aren’t polished pop songs made by committee—they’re rough around the edges, full of personality, and unapologetically themselves. That’s probably why I keep coming back to ‘em.
So yeah, if you’re into Drum n Bass or just need something to blast while you’re stuck in traffic (or pretending to work), give this album a spin. Honestly, listening to it feels like finding an old mixtape in the back of your closet—you remember why you loved it in the first place.
Oh, and random thought: Why do we always assume money will solve our problems? If I had a quid for every time someone said “Where’s my money?”… well, I’d probably lose count halfway through counting. But hey, that’s life, innit?
