Must Have Trax




ok, everyones got their own perspective. i may rate your chick ugly, you may rate richard's jeans way too tight.
but it goes as follows:

Marshall Jefferson - Move your body (the house music anthem)
true founder and still relevant and catchy as hell to this day.
old marshall may not be rockin the sets like he used to, but at least hes left a fucking pearl in his path. funk without irony.

James T Cotton - Oochie Coo
Cotton right now is the master of reuniting the old skool acid house vibes. This man is fucking evil! shit is dark. The synths creep and creep until you think they gonna jump out the fuckin speakers and mugg you. Demonic vocals in the backround, industrial 808's goin off left right centre. Another pearl of wisdom from (in my humble opinion) the most talented man in electronic music today, Mr Tadd Mullinix. Awesome fuckin stuff.

Cuizinier - Simplement le meilleur
The TTC dudes are doing some fuckin sick stuff recently. They've dropped the mixtape Pour Les Filles Street Tape Vol 02 recently and its a full-on assualt of euro-crunk (frunk as we at lagos like to call it) with unusual samples and chopped synths. These dudes should be making beats for swisha house or any of the crunk bitches in America. This track in particular makes fuckin great use of a Tina Turner sample which im sure all of you will recognize and have made out to at some point in your lives. Go relive the better times...

Felix Laband -Donkey Rattle
Felix hails from my old stomping grounds, Cape Town. This dude is a wizard with music. His first album was great chillout sunday afternoon vibes. His second album was like wat the fuck felix??!
4/4 Down The Stairs is a full-on masterpiece of electronic music. I could be extremely patronizing and say "wow, thats great for south africa", seeing that not the most thrilling stuff usually comes from my homeland. But this album is pure beauty and has so many layers of warmness, (k enuff with the moffie talk). This track in particular isnt really like the rest on the album, but it still fits in. Not many of you will know it, and Lagos were plannin on keepin it as a secret weapon. Evil subass, awesome kwaito beat makes for an all-round banger- great to impress your hipster friends and hipster loving djs.

Right, 4 is enuff for this week, anymore and you mullets would get confused. go find em, enjoy em, play em to your parents and their friends.
