Production

[edit | edit source]

Phuture 2000 was produced by Cox.[8] He wanted to make it more dancefloor-friendly than his debut.[9] He worked with the English musician Dave Angel on some of the tracks.[10] Cox included some jungle songs, which he completed after an intended collaboration with Roni Size never materialized.[7] His favorite instrument was the Clavia Nord Lead.[7] "Dr. Funk" samples Jackie McLean's "Dr. Jackyll and Mister Funk".[11] The closing track is a version of the title song, remixed by the British music duo Hybrid.[12]

The Windsor Star stated that "Dr. Funk" "picks up on the slinky disco sound currently promulgated by French artists like Cassius and Dimitri from Paris."[18] The Burton Mail praised the "hard house" and Cox's "talents for lavish production and ... ear for a good tune".[14] The Toronto Star noted that "there's an endearing simplicity and kinetic practicality to [the] hard-house drivers".[10] The Cambridge Evening News opined that Cox attempted to incorporate too many genres.[19] The CMJ New Music Report said that Cox "uses a base recipe of multi-layered melodies and domineering rhythmic structures to give each song his authentic flavor."[20] The Boston Phoenix concluded that "the hardness of [the] music veers far away from the joyfully plush and soulful deeps of most house music."[21]
