If you can't beat'em join'em.

Not really a philosophy I choose to live by, but hell its just a record. UK's DJ Format's 2005 release If you can't beat'em join'em is pretty light and great for chilling back on a nice summer day. You aren't going to find any real heavy baselines, but you will find some great beats mixed with some great piano samples. Its pretty backpacky, but I love a good backpack track for a lazy Sunday afternoon. I just used "but" three times in the last paragraph...bad sentence structure on my part.

Buy it! Dj Format @ eMusic.

Update: I was just made aware that the album title is actually If You Can't Join 'Em... Beat 'Em so you can forget about all the stuff I said at the beginning. Most probably just skip my blathering and go straight for the music anyways. Thanks to a detail oriented reader for the heads up!
