Metallic Songs Strictly House Music

b'dattrax: The title basically says that there is nothing organic about this mix. Techy, electronic, funky w/ a slight tribal feel. Charging beats and harder edged layering. It has a relentless and aggressive pace.

This mix begins w/ Ladytron\'s "Playgirl", a gem that I found in a Queen St. W. record store called "Rotate This" in a back bin of techno records. Just pulled up any record that had cool artwork and that I didn\'t recognise in their electronic section. Must have blazed through 150 records that day. Such a waste of time taking records in and out of their sleeves without damaging them. People hate us at record stores. Just dropping the needle on each cut of a record for seconds looking for the goosebumps and hair to rise. "Playgirl" was a b-side that was made super fast. I had to slow it down 4 notches on technics 1200s and it\'s still fast.

This mix is highlighted by wicked tracks by the Dynamic Duo of Justin Harris and Luke Solomon of MusicForFreaks (MFF) fame, Steve Bug\'s double album, "The Other Day", DJ Heather, Richie Hawtin, Cevin Fisher, Rob Mello, Adam Marshall (a fellow Torontonian), Dub Taylor, Derrick Carter, etc., etc. LOVE THESE GUYS!!!
