For me as the event draws closer so does frantic pre-bali organisation. Although a saviour during this time has been the addictive super mash antics of Girl Talk. I myself am not the biggest RnB fan though the extreme nature of his mashes, blends, and changes are what really hook me. As a dj myself this is envious music at its best and it also includes an element of music that i adore - recycling retro tracks in modern ways. In any one song you could hear a range from Kelly Clarkson to Metallica to Salt N Pepper. The only downfall of this master mashing extremist is that if a certain track floats you boat it will be a short lived ride as he crams in thousands of samples into one set. His album Feed The Animals is available as a 'pay-your-price' album... Meaning that you can support this overgrown chiller a lot or little (i myself repurchased the album as to contribute ten dollars). Do not feel obliged as if you are a BDO ticket holder then your contribution has been payed and your boiler room fantasy will be delivered. Below is the link to the album purchase [drunkfunk strongly suggests this]. Also the label the record was released through has other strong sample artist signed and after downloading browsing their work wouldn't be a bad call.
Away from the BDO now. I will be in bali on the 23rd but as this event has such a great lineup i was hoping to share it all with you so that people can party on my behalf (to decent music). The Arthouse which since stopping kink has not had a great deal of quality stuff on is hosting three major pumpers. The event is headlined by One Man Party who is part of the infamous Soulwax and got his solo alias via crazy dancefloor antics - and surely brings a great set. One of my favourite groups of the last year or so Designer Drugs also join the roll and bring their dirty pumping scene electro to the Arthouse. Lastly is Le Castle Vania whose synthy dropping beats have recently impressed the pants of me - probably will open the big acts but not one that you want to miss. For tickets or a link to the venue just look below... Till next time
peace. nicK!
