Double Trouble

Initially founded as a one-off project for the remix of "I Know You Got Soul" by Eric B. & Rakim. It was Norman Cook's first released work after the end of The Housemartins. The record company, Chrysalis, called Norman to do the remix without having permission from the artist. The track wasn't owned by them, so they didn't have the master. Norman took the a cappella B-side and put a groove under it, lifted from The Jacksons' song "ABC". The remix was engineered by Danny D who was the A&R man at Chrysalis' dance offshoot Cooltempo at the time. The single went to number five in the British charts and because of the unexpected success, Norman and Danny went on to remix a few other tracks like "Do This My Way" by Kid 'N' Play.
