Coldcut

Coldcut are an English electronic music duo composed of Matt Black and Jonathan More. Credited as pioneers for pop sampling in the 1980s, Coldcut are also considered the first stars of UK electronic. In the late 80s, they introduced us to Lisa Stansfield ("People hold on") nd Yazz ("Doctorin' the house") who both quickly as featured artists. They are also very known for remixing a variety of hip-hop and dance outfits. It is a little surprising that Coldcut only had one UK Top 40 in the 1990s but "More Beats and Pieces" did reach #1 on the UK Dance chart.
