Cool Hand Flex is one of the most prolific-yet-underrated early hardcore\/jungle producers and engineers. A lot of his early tunes are split over De Underground and its numerous sublabels (Oddball, IE, Ruff Groove, U No Dat, In Touch etc), though he also did tracks on Brain and Suburban Base.  I wouldn&#8217;t even say this is one of my top favorite singles by Flex overall, but I totally love this tune: it&#8217;s stripped down but solid, with nice layering of drum hits and breaks.  The slow tempo makes it mixable with a variety of styles (not just faster 92-94 hardcore\/jungle),  and the main synth and vocal (&#8220;I just wanna hear a good beat&#8221; from Dee Lite &#8220;Good Beat&#8221;) are wicked catchy.<br \/>\n<A href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/Cool-Hand-Flex-Uncle-22-Odd-Ball-Ex2217P\/release\/399261\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/images\/cool_hand_flex.jpg\"><\/a><br \/><del datetime=\"2014-02-27T07:45:35+00:00\">Cool Hand Flex &#038; Uncle 22 &#8211; Odd Ball EP (A1)<\/del><br \/>\n<i>link removed pending posting on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hardcorejunglism.com\/\">hardcore junglism<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s a slower track than I&#8217;ve posted lately..
