DJ MINX Vinyl & CDs

Review: Despite being the First Lady of Detroit dance music, DJ Minx has yet to find fame outside of her home city. 'Do It All Night', her first single for Carl Craig's Planet E label, may just change that. First featured on one of the label's compilations a few years back and now getting a deserved single release, the track is a rolling, heavily electronic house workout marked out by addictively soulful vocals extolling the pleasures of dancing all night. Minx's original version comes accompanied by a heavier, more energetic and thoroughly sweaty revision from Chicago native Honey Dijon. Her version is a darker, warehouse-ready revision that sounds a little like a tougher, more tooled-up take on Kerri Chandler's turn-of-the-century electronic house sound

Review: With label staple Divinti making an appearance this week on Stump Valley's latest EP, we're very happy to see Women On Wax Recordings serving up a new release to follow up last year's Violet Groove EP by label owner DJ Minx. It's an entirely Detroit affair once again, where she teams up with local scene veteran Gari Romalis (aka DJ SCSI) for this split release - Tronic D. On the A-side, Romalis serves up some serious attitude on the late night basement wall shaker 'Stomp Da Yard', followed by more sensual mood music on 'Goin' Down'. On the flip, Minx does deeper with the hypnotic chords of 'Stiletto Stroll' and the jazzed-up minimal house groove of 'Cocktail Or Two' where she nails that perfect afterhours vibe once again. Tip!
