| A crazy mixed bag, top of the heap is the Sofrito compilation, i always play at least 3 or 4 tracks at every gig. Next up is the amazing Virgo Four compilation featuring mostly unreleased music from the seminal Chicago house outfit. At number 3 is the ace Hizatron, flipped with my new wiggly, bass heavy remix. The Eddie Hooper track has been around for a few months now, but I never tire of it's haunting beauty. Headhunter is one of my favourite producers, and his new AG 12" doesn't disappoint. No. 6 is a 12" from the Sofrito comp, so nice to have this kind of tropical dancefloor music on a fat 12". 7 & 8 see Soundway taking care of some heavy, heavy latin business, as only they can! At 9, Kerri Chandler does a lovely job on his remix of Makam, simple & effective with some squidgy synth creeping into the mix. The Royalty EP at number 10 has really caught my ear, like a more bass heavy, less retro Dam Funk. The Sugar Minott tune at 11 is great, heavy digi roots with real bass guitar, and the dub is astounding. I have been playing Pangaea's 'Won't Hurt', love the intro & drop, individual & quality as we have come to expect from Hessle Audio. The b side wins again with the next selection too, Baobinga & Hyetal getting all skippy & spacey on 'Trouble'. Boddika's House 10" has been around for 5 months now, and the Syn Chron tune still gets me, sounds like the kind of tune that a studio full of insects would make. The prolific PPU label are up next with the Michael Soward 7", more early 80's drum machine soul/boogie business, the kind of stuff I grew up on & still love today. The new Wagon Christ LP is on Ninja Tune, and his mixture of humour & originality is still very much intact! DJ Nature pretty much lives in my record box, and Gyrating Savages is the one getting most play at the moment. juno won't let me write any more. boo! www.mrscruff.com , soundcloud.com/mr-scruff |
