CrookersInAmerica Radio1 Essential Mix 06/21


2008 will surely go down as the year of fidget house.

So many kids - artists and hipsters alike - have already jumped on this bandwagon. But really it's been the sonorous expeditions of two Italian, hip-hop lovers (of all places and things!) that have largely reintroduced the cut-up, glitch style to the dominant "electro" form of house ...

and perhaps to a greater extent have made it their own.
"Basically, every day we wake up and in the morning we make music, in the afternoon we make music and in the evening we make music; and on the weekend WE MAKE MUSIC ALL DAY and at night we DJ ... and in the morning we go to sleep."
-Francisco and Andrea, A.K.A. Phra and Bot of the CROOKERS

Over the weekend the 'mad kidz' met up with Pete Tong in his BBC studio in the UK to record an essential mix ... and now it's here:

The Crookers - Radio1 Essential Mix - 06 21 08.mp3*

But better news still - if you happen to reside in L.A. - the Crookers themselves will be here in the flesh at Cinespace, Hollywood this Tuesday, June 24th.



*I'm hotlinking to the peeps over at newmixes.com, but you're still gonna have to hit the download link below their tracklisting - hopefully they don't mind a little more traffic, albeit redirected. I'm working on getting my own domain and ultimately picking up this site with daily updates ... a little more patience, y'all won't be disappointed.

[Note: Excuse my subjectivity on the matter, but I would just as easily place the Bloody Beetroots on the same (high) level of influence over the burgeoning fidget genre. The real question being, which of the two groups has it more ...]

TCB Salmon Dance Crookers RMX
(CCC Batman Re-Edit)



Jiminy Jillickers Batman!
Is that a new remix I smell cooking in the oven?

The Chewy Chocolate Cookies just sent me this fun re-edit of the Crookers' remix of the Chemical Brother's Salmon Dance ...

%$#!?!

It's actually a lot simpler (and sweeter) than it sounds:
In place of "WoW!" you get the retro duh-na-duh-na-duh-na-duh-na-DA ... "BAAATTMAAANN!" chant - from 1966's TV series' theme song.

If you're familiar with CCC's March NLLR Mixtape, this is the last (unlisted) track of the set.

Oh!MYscience (t.s.s. avril '08 mixtape)



So here it finally is guys ...

My freshman mixtape debut, aptly entitled:

Oh! MY science (t.s.s. avril '08 mixtape)


Your Gramama couldn't possibly stuff a butterball nearly as fat as I have this power-hour of electroliciousness. And even if by the grace of some horrid genetically mutated man-bear-turkey she could ...

My way ensures all the tryp minus the tophan.

Plus, electro is vegan.

Enjoi.


NOTES:
  • Cover Art & Full Tracklist included in the zip (hit the comments for a sneak peak).
  • Exactly an hour and two minutes (1:02:00) short, the official mix is comprised of 27 tracks - plus an additional bonus MYSTERY track - and consists of a medley of electro-house/pop/hop and rock.
  • Mixtapes generally feature fast transitioning and in this regard Oh! MY science is no different. However, by way of sustained blends, I've also managed to employ gradual, if not conventional, mix-in techniques while at the same time conserving the rate of [song] change. The [desired] effect is one that not only showcases more of particular songs' depth but also expresses a remixed sound.
    • The latter is most notably evidenced in the second half of the tape (I.E. the Flou to Fischerspooner blend-transition); while attention is explicitly given to the former [feverish, club-like style] in the first 30-odd minutes of the mix.
  • The title Oh! MY science is a tribute to Matt Stone & Trey Parker's pop-culture parody Southpark - namely season 10's two-part episode (151-152) Go God Go that satirizes the notion of secular religion; which is, in fact, a further allusion to Aldous Huxley's novel Brave New World where people honored Henry Ford, and said "Oh, Ford" instead of "Oh Lord."
