Revenge of the Nerds!
I’ve heard some of the best DJ sets in recent times played and supported by a group of kats that would have once been bullied and thrown in the bushes after school everyday. While some of the music is original, there are a lot of remixes to classics, and great portion of the sound is a revival and appreciation of The late 80′s early 90′s acid/ Chicago house sound.. In reference to the dancing and excitement people get from the music, I love in this old expose’ on the music scene where the old woman says, ” unless its just the music that does it”.. the music is the high! (for some of us)
In my last post I talked of this party that was happening with The xx and Vhs or Beta doing Dj sets. Well, Finger on the pulse was the DJ crew that opened this party up @ lprnyc , setting the vibe high. Next VHS or Beta kept it pumping
and took me back to a hands in the air jumping screaming good period with this tracks below.
The last set was By a member of The XX . Im really diggin them musically right now.. The DJ set was kinda all over the place and definitely changed up the vibe that was going, but I could appreciate their ear for what inspires them.
I really liked the uk two step tracks they selected.. here is an example of the work they are doing as a band.
