Episode 130: WDNTFGT

BROTHERS! SISTERS! Allow the groove to be political for just a moment. Do not need. Do not want. Then the episode settles into a sibling to episode 128, though cleaving a bit more closely to footwork. Exceptions, overlooking the lead-in track, include another fast grime tune from Proc Fiskal and a tune by Aphex Twin, off his new Collapse EP. And I’m not even entirely sure about the AFX tune. Like, aside from the 160 BPM tempo, the percussion strikes me as pretty jukey. Is this the maestro’s response to the Chicago genre?

Aside from that, the story of this mix is the samples. Samples from the Eurhythmics, from ODB, from Technotronic, from… that tune that Wu Tang also sampled? And also Traxman appears three separate times. What can I say? Trax4Lyfe!

Finally, every time I listen I can’t help but note how the most complex rhythm of the mix (Traxman’s “Let It Roll Geto”) segues directly into the most straightforward rhythm of the mix (“Shame” by DJ Ends)
