Welcome to the first installment in our Of Mixes and Men series, a pilot of which can be perused right below, as the new Orgasmic CD is just that, a mix. So. We run this little ltd. ed. mix-CDs scam (can't remember if we have a name for it). It's pretty simple: here's a CD, run with it. Anything goes. The most outlandish ideas can be put to the test, as we don't need the thing to be "smashing" or "brilliant" or whatever. Unfortunately, much to my despair, INSMX001 was smashing and INSMX012 is brilliant (in a dark way).
Vitamin House by Out One features the kind of vanguard, elegant, shimmering symphony of tones to be expected from a heavily-tattooed metal head. HA. You wish. More like straight house music, some classics--instant, forgotten or forever fondly remembered--some wonderful sell-outs, some new stuff, all hand-picked and pitched-up (33>>45) and hand-mixed by Out One aka JESUS SHAVES.
The new one. Above The Law tribute by Tacteel & John B. Rambo, aka The Hair Squad, murder rap experts. I won't talk much about ABVDLAW, because John B. (aka The Geneva Heathen) does it bigger and better on the actual tape. But, if I may: Above The Law, West Coast, G-funk, Gangsta rap--they weren't just seminal, they actually made babies. I heard Big Hutch has about 23.
It's also, this tape, the last in the series. Ten more are coming. Plus a box to house them all. What's next? We've been entertaining some pretty interesting notions, such as an unmixed SAD RAP mixtape, featuring the most heartbreaking, miserable and gloriously sad rap songs of all time. Suggestions welcome, as always. DJ Aï aka Jean Nipon will do one, if only because he signed in blood.
Tomorrow we'll talk about our big Xmas bash and the related mix-CD. And to celebrate the end of the week (whatever the fuck that means), Of Mixes and Men 3/3 will feature a new Surkin minimix. The boy is cute, he loves you all.
