a housey hip-hop mix wrapped in an electro blanket, this short mix (40 minutes) runs the gamout of new and old favorites in a mashed up and overdriven way. this mix was performed live at knock knock on June 29th, 2005.
this set was performed live on 6.22.2005 for Lo-Ki Wednesdays, the new ezRPM / Ce-Mu weekly hosted at knock knock. The set warms up with more upbeat IDM jams, feeding off the energy of the dj before me, and simmers down into a soulful rare groove mix of new and old greyboy favorites. the track was split into two parts, to ease any bandwidth issues.
dark and brooding like an ex-raver fed up with the undanceability of most modern IDM music, this compu-hyper-global-mega-net mix is at once both a big fuck-you to the IDM nay-sayers calling for it’s death (which may be more than a little bit true), as it is a dirty triumph of dance music as a whole. the mix digs deep into the vault and pulls out all of the tracks that made me take a double-take while on my iPod’s rotation. who knew those tracks i had been earmarking for my next dj set would fit together so well? all of these songs have one thing in common, a pounding desire to make you shake your ass, as well as cause your brain to jump-up and say hell-yeah! with all of the power contained in the dopey rhythms of IDM’s back side, with a little adult swim playfulness thrown in for good measure.
this mix was recorded live at knock knock on april 13th, 2005.
knock knock is this great hedonistic back alley bar in downtown orlando, where the drinks are stiff and the crowd is known to get more than a little crazy.
