Double Trouble: Founded as an one time project for the remix of “I Know You Got Soul” by Eric B & Rakim. It was Norman Cooks first released work after the end of the Housemartins. The record company Chrysalis did call Norman to do the remix without having permission from the artist. The track wasn’t owned by them, so they didn’t even have the master.

The single went to number five in the British charts and because of the unexpected sucess, Norman and Danny went on to remix a few other tracks like “Do This My Way” by Kid’n’Play.
