Snake Style / Exit 9

"Snake Style" and "Exit 9" were issued as a 12-inch by Source Direct Recordings in 1995. Fact says the breakbeat in "Snake Style" is taken from James Brown's live version of Archie Bell and the Drells' "Tighten Up", and that it introduced martial-arts sampling the duo reused on "The Cult"; it calls the track strikingly contemporary and a fan favorite. The flip, "Exit 9", an amen-based tear-out, was influential in the mid-2000s on DJs including Fracture, Neptune, Equinox and Bailey. A "Snake Style 2" is listed on Tempo Records in 2022, which we saw only in a search summary.
