Back when I had a residency in the Lower East Side along with DJ Elsewhere now of Lazlo.TV, I would spin a slew of Dizzee Rascal tracks from his debut record, “Boy in da Corner” which won the Mercury prize in 2003. At the same time I think “Wonderwall” is making a comeback now and since I started dropping this mash of “Wonderwall” and “Fix Up, Look Sharp”, I figured I give it to the kids who can’t blend just yet….
