DJ S&M dot Com

Irony isn't funny if you have to explain it. Good music doesn't need to explain itself, it bypasses those higher functions and goes straight into the emotion centers of your brain. Whatever they call those. If anyone out there is an amateur brain surgeon then tell me so I can avoid you when I'm on tour. I like my brain the way it is.

Oh yeah, so as I was saying good music doesn't need to be intellectual, I think it just needs to be honest, most music that hits the charts these days is manufactured in multimillion dollar studio setups with masterful producers directing musicians and performers into the niche which will shift the most units. While the kid with a PC and some sample sequencer can throw together something which he or she is truly proud of, something honest, that's where the best music comes from.

Of course, I say this after hearing Hip-Hop superproducer P.Diddy has produced a house record with Kelis and Deep Dish. I'm not quite sure what to make of it, I hear he's been a regular at Ibiza parties for the past few years, has he been seduced by club culture or does he see the clubbers as someone he wants respect from? Whatever it is I'll be sure to play it when I finally get a copy.

Tracklisting - Hour 1

Artist	Track	Label	Buy? (readme)
Bassbin Twins	ESW	Marine Parade
This is the intro track we play at the start of every show. Slammin Beats!
Mint Royale	Sexiest Man In Jamaica	Faith And Hope
Mint Royale returned last year with this Prince Buster sampling disco monster which never failed to raise a smile - one of the few tracks Fatboy Slim played which wasn't on his record label.
Kurtis Mantronix Presents Chamix	77 Strings	Southern Fried
While this is was on Norman's record label and ended up getting played out all over the place by Brighton's most famous DJ
Lil' Devious	Bounce	White
This is a great record, you can play it in a breaks set or a house set and everyone loves it, c'ma everybody and move your bodaaay.
Peter Dildo	Physical 2000	Distinctive
I originally found this on the Tyrant mix album - Craig Richards and Lee Burridge are definately DJ's from the more intellectual end of the spectrum. Not exactly a happy tune, but it certainly means business on the dancefloor.
Birdy	Ouisea Blue	Birdy
I've no idea who this artist is, but the first time I heard this record I fell in love with it - the tribal beats, the techy high hats, and the growling bassline. Especially good for that 3am slot when some of the dancers are starting to flag, this would wake up the dead.
Vigi And Zero	Ultrafunk (Latina Mix)	TCR
A Certain Ratio - for the noughties! Tony Wilson would be proud, or something like that. The great thing about this record is that it's diverse, you can be playing some techno, house, or breaks and drop this latin number in the middle and it'll get a great reaction.
Soul Of A Man	Dirty Waltzer	Finger Lickin'
I read recently that Finger Lickin' sell more records in Australia than the rest of the world put together, over there the Plump DJ's are superstars, playing to crowds of 18,000 people. Maybe it's time I moved.
Who Da Funk feat Jessica Eve	Shiny Disco Balls	SubUsa
This is truly a massive record, in fact I worry that some stations will decide I'm not 'underground' enough when I play things like this. Of course this record gave DJ's a whole new double entendre - so they could make suggestive comments about things other than their black 12 inches.
Dirty	Dirty	Junior
Obscene, Dirty, Filty, Immoral - no I'm not talking about my Disco Balls or 12 inches, just repeating the lyrics of this records which is labelled as 'Not another production by King Unique'.
Atranig vs Angelica De No	Dangerous	Sondos
Somewhat cheezy vocal on this by the numbers prog house track, I like it, and as a Scotsman I appreciate the fact that found it in my local record store in the 'free promos' bin.
Accadia	Into The Dawn	Lost Language
At 130bpm this record is too slow to be called trance, but otherwise it has all the trademark builds and breaks, it's nice to chill out to, and the flip side has a fantastic breakbeat remix by Ashtrax.
FC Kahuna	Hayling	City Rockers/Skint
I think this has been the third time this track has been re-released, this time it's on Skint, but I proudly play my 10 inch copy from City Rockers. FC Kahuna did great things last year and they produced and excellent album 'Machine Says Yes' - definately one for your collection.
Way Out West	Earth (waveform remix)	Distinctive Breaks
Earth was the last track on Way Out West's debut album back in 1997 - the album was criminally overlooked by the general populace. This remix turned up on the first Y3K compilation, and still manages to sound blissfully chilled out despite running at trance tempos.
Choci & Mark Sinclair	What Is Love	Cannon
This reinterpretation of 'What Time Is Love' was swift and by the numbers, I'm not sure if the KLF would be proud or horrified. But Frankly I love it.
Nukleuz DJ's	The Curse Of Voodoo Ray	Nukleuz
This is from 'DJ Nation - Bootleg Edition' - a ploy by Nukleuz to exploit the UK record sales chart, it seems to have worked - they've been the first label to get a Vinyl only release into the charts in over a decade. Ok it's cheezy hard trance, but that's the best kind isn't it?
