\nI heard you have a compilation of every good songs ever done by anybody
\n…
\nI heard that you have a white label of every seminal detroit techno tracks: 1985, 86, 87
\n…
\nI hear that you and your band have sold your guitars and bought turntables

I hear, everybody that you know Also stumbled upon 2 Many DJ’s<\/a> first recorded bootleg: Radio Soulwax pt. 1 (e2k hash<\/a>)… it is actually more like a draft of their second, officially released CD: Radio Soulwax Pt.2 (e2k hash<\/a>), but with major differences in that it contains most of the tracks and samples they were refused clearances for. So I guess it is a bit closer to the original intent…<\/p>\n Anyway, both are just unique alien pieces of recording. Each one features over a hundred tracks and probably twice more samples, mixed, remixed and crammed into one continuous stream of 70 minutes.<\/p>\n Of course, what makes it a world apart from the crappy dance compilation you can buy by the pound in supermarkets is that we are talking about virtually every<\/b> musical genres and popularity mixed together… top 40s hip-hop gets pounded by obscure hardcore techno, 70s hard rock undermines 90s ambient house, angry german rock headbutts trance anthems… I don’t know of many other people so shamelessly mixing the unmixable and getting away with it so well… If anything, the warped bootleg covers of original classics alone would be worth the time (I wanna be your dog<\/i> electro’ed by dakargrinser is my all time favorite)…<\/p>\n Not unlike what you’d be getting at a high-schoolers’ house party when people start fighting around the stereo, except the herd of drunk teenagers would be replaced by two fine music connoisseurs and skilled djs…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" electro house and post-punk oddities…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"activitypub_content_warning":"","activitypub_content_visibility":"","activitypub_max_image_attachments":4,"activitypub_interaction_policy_quote":"anyone","activitypub_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-33","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/unknowngenius.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/unknowngenius.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/unknowngenius.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/unknowngenius.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/unknowngenius.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/unknowngenius.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/unknowngenius.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/unknowngenius.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/unknowngenius.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

\nlately, I’ve been listening to tons of weird electro-post-something-techno tunes like lcd soundsystem<\/a> (brilliantly losing his edge<\/i>) and green velvet (particularly trippy preacher man<\/a> track: one day, I need to do a road trip through the bible belt with a sampler recorder)…<\/p>\n
