mix CDs and a little loungecore



DJ /rupture - 58.46 Radio Mix

Hmm this is a little bit worrying, I'm starting to get a bit bored of rupture's mix CDs - I'm just not being surprised anymore, the formula is too predictable: Take one part ragga toasting, add some middle east vibes, mix with some noise and throw in one or two modern rnb tunes - dead easy really. I think I'd like to hear him do something different now.



Amon Tobin - Solid Steel

This is a bit more interesting, a mix recorded live where Amon Tobin uses a software/hardware package to link two timestamped vinyl 12 inches to a computer storing all the songs digitally - this allows for an interesting mix of digital and analogue mixing techniques. Putting the geekiness (in a good way) of the whole mix to one side and just having a listen to the tunes it's damn good stuff - nice and dark, very Amon Tobin and he finishes with a bad ass mix of Venus in Furs, which does me nicely.



Richard Cheese and Lounge Against the Machine - Tuxicity

Sometimes you just need to hear a cheesy lounge singer scream 'GOD I WANT TO FUCK HER!' in the middle of a cover version of Britney Spears's Crazy... A joke album, but they do it well and know when to shut the fuck up.
