A while ago I heard a sample of Audacity of Huge, a terrible taster that had me craving to get hold of Simian Mobile Disco’s album “Temporary Pleasure”. I love an album which you spend money on and every single track is brilliance. There has been one track on the album I have been playing more than the others, “Off the Map” it has me wanting to lace up my pumps half way, and claim the entire dance floor. It’s sexy, and you certain to sing along to the vocals in no time, “Shower Time Live” your personal karaoke shower show will certainly have a huge new addition.
Another track I have been enjoying again is High Contrast’s Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, I asked a friend once if there are any Drum n Bass love songs as a sarcastic joke, my bubble burst very quickly, as it turns out, there is. Now, I have always been a sucker for old classics, Julie London’s Cry Me a River one of them, but the sample in this filthy classic Drum n Bass track almost had me in tears, not just for Julie’s transposed Loop or the fact it starts without even giving the slightest hint of being DnB. It’s when the track kicks into gear, it gets me every time without fail! Okay it’s an obvious favorite for myself, why not, it’s not just a swell track, it’s legendary.
So while I enjoy interwebbing, chewing Woolworth Gum Chums and feeling slightly ripped of the pleasure the original chocolate covered raisins give me, a Soulwax track pops into my headphones. I was only introduced to Soulwax about four years ago they never grabbed me, only about two years ago when I heard Nite Versions and there new electro sound did I go insane, for some old news, for me it was like I was a child again with a handful of sweeties, I could not resist, I had to have it all. Immediately Miserable Girl was the one, but, it was Krack that slowly instilled its place in my Soundtrack of Life instead. Most of you that have heard it may agree, but those that have not… Take it in, enjoy everything about it.
“Jus lykee, die shit is die shit!”
Lets get something straight here, I am no lover of remixes screwing up old classics, yet there are some very special producers out there who know how to keep it within the boundaries of class. I was hesitant when I saw this <(ODhal’s K-Love Remix)> attached to Luther Vandross – Never Too Much, but was interested in a little listen…
“Ja bru, it’s like brilliant ey, you and lady friends can jam lekka to this one.”
