An Entity of Type: song, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

"Beat Dis" is a song by British act Bomb the Bass, a studio production 'group' formed by producer Tim Simenon originally as the Rhythm King All Stars, with producer Pascal Gabriel and Adele Nozedar from Indians in Moscow involved too. From Bomb the Bass' first album Into the Dragon, the track largely consists of samples, like other hits of the time such as "Pump Up the Volume" by M/A/R/R/S and "Theme from S'Express" by S'Express. The centre label on the record features a smiley lifted from Watchmen. This usage was the origin of the use of the smiley as a symbol for acid house.

The single was very successful in the United Kingdom, debuting at number five on the UK Singles Chart of 20 February 1988 and peaking at number two a week later, behind Kylie Minogue's "I Should Be So Lucky". It was also a major hit in Europe, reaching the top ten in at least five countries, and in New Zealand, where it peaked at number five. It reached number one on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart for one week and is Bomb the Bass' only chart hit in the US. (en)
