Featured DJ Chart: My Cousin Roy (Wurst)
My Cousin Roy aka Roy Dank has been overseeing the rise of Wurst since 2006. Originally an imprint that stood for some classy re/edits of obscure late 70s/early 80s disco and electronica from the likes of Runaway, Eamon Harkin, and Dank himself, Wurst themselves which got support across the board with everyone from Carl Craig to Erol Alkan dropping some prime Wurst in their sets.
The imprint chamged direction in 2009, resurfacing as The Wurst Music Co. and focusing instead on original material with releases to date from Brennan Green, Reade Truth and The Neurotic Drum Band. This week sees the latest Wurst release drop in the form of the splendid ‘It’s Now’ from Great Weekend, so to celebrate we coaxed a current top ten out of Mr Roy Dank.
1. Great Weekend -It’s Now feat. Justin Carter (Dub Edit) (Wurst US)
2. Mim Suleiman -Tungi (The whole LP!) (Bubbletease Communications)
“Maurice is back! Was elated to see this album available for sale and bought it as WAVs instantly. The man can do no wrong in my book. Well, maybe except for not releasing all of those gems in the Bubbletease podcasts!”
3. Sare Havlicek – Pleasure Storm (Nang)
“Big tings a gwan for this Slovenian disco master! Been playing this song every set for months now! Go Sare, go!”
4. Mano Le Tough – Oblique (Chateau Flight Remix) (Internasjonal)
“Chateau Flight are true dons. They can flex so many styles and always come up trumps.”
5. Aeroplane – We Can’t Fly (Eskimo)
“The Belgian super duo channel a bit of that Compass Point Studios-era Sly & Robbie rhythm section on their latest hit.”
6. Cold Cave – Life Magazine (An Optimo (Espacio) mix (Matador)
“What a combo – awesome song by awesome band mixed by super awesome Optimo. Love it. PS – Awesome!”
7. Moullinex -Hide & Seek (Gomma Dance Tracks)
“Moullinex takes it a bit deeper on this lovely little disco cut. Hope he does more along these lines.”
8. Nick Chacona -The Fear (Beg to Differ Remix) (Moodmusic)
“Obligatory self-promotion for my Beg to Differ project with Nick Chacona. Finally available digitally after the limited 12″ release.”
9. Greyship Daviz – The Groove Is On The Loose (My Cousin Roy’s Way Past Due Mix) (Past Due)
“And another bit of self-promotion – my very first solo remix!”
