I have no idea what kind of music it even IS.

Also for some reason I misread "what is yr favourite title" as "which is yr least favourite song". my fave title is COOL OUT/WHITE HORSE because it puts me in mind of 'White Girl' by USDA which I now have in my head, and v pleasing it is too. "CHRISTINA AGGA-LERRA!"

I'd be surprised if you didn't know "White Horse" when you hear it Lex (truth be told I haven't heard this particular 'blend') - it had a kind of Optimo-inspired revival a few years ago - very dry 80s electrofunk, European I think: "Do you wanna ride...ride the white horse?" Paging Dr Druqs.

i think this 'blend" wz probably m4tt's one and own! i actually can't remember if we'd moved to london yet wen he did this -- in which case the j4zz ins3cts were defunkt -- but mere routine mixtapes were the start of his actual real continuin sleb job (he wz breakin into DJin and still had a dayjob, at L0gica) (do they still exist?)

I think it's 'if you wanna ride, don't ride the white horse', so more of a 'WHITE LINES: Do not do them' feel. It was sampled in that hot chip 'over and over' song (or at least in the j koehnke remix of same), which features the line "laid back, i'll give you laid back" DYS.

Message of "White Horse" = don't ride the white horse (ie hreoin) instead ride the white pony (ie coke)!
