A Little Bit of This, a Little Bit of That is the only studio album British music producer D Mob,[1] released on FFRR Records in 1989. The album peaked at No. 46 on the UK Albums Chart,[4] No. 72 in Australia,[5] and No. 82 on the Billboard 200 in the US.[6]
British singer and songwriter Cathy Dennis sings vocals for two songs, one of which, "C'mon and Get My Love", became a top 10 hit in the United States, peaking at number 10,[6] and reaching number 15 in the UK.[4]
Critical reception
AllMusic wrote, "Those who consider house music one-dimensional must give a serious listen to D-Mob's unpredictable and appropriately titled A Little Bit of This, A Little Bit of That."[2] Bill Coleman from Billboard commented, "Coming off three No. 1 club hits, D-Mob finally unleashes its album debut [...] and it grooves. D-Mob brainchild, popular U.K. remixer Dancin' Danny D (aka Danny Poku) lays it out on the line and proves himself a more-than-able producer/songwriter/artist who has got quite a few tricks up his sleeve. Featuring a varied assemblage of performers, A Little Bit tackles a number of styles with ease and personality."[7]
