DJ Chart: Ian Brandon & Bruno F.K., Tweek Me
Tweek Me is a new night from DJs Bruno F.K. (Majestica), Chris Spence and Ian Brandon (Split / Obscene), showcasing a mixture of different styles, from breakbeat and electro to deep house, with frequent detours into 'anything with a bad groove' (and that's bad as in baaad). The duo phoned in this festive top ten for your delectation... Enjoy.
1. Black Russian - Crazy [Fakt Recordings]
Sirens, scratching, guitar stabs and a very, very fat bass line. Top notch breaks action from London outfit Black Russian.
2. Spank Rock - Bump (Switch Remix) [Big Dada]
Completely insane remix from Switch with more twists and turns than the A9, and a lot safer to boot. There may be points where you don't know where to throw your shapes, but that's half the beauty of this one.
3. Mastiksoul - Funk Master Flex [Dirty Ego]
Nice and funky ass-shaking number with some really nicely filtered beats - a great warmup track.
4. DJ Misjah - On My Back [ReRun]
'Groove is in the Heart' sampling stomper by DJ Misjah. Excellent use of the Dee-Lite classic without ever being cheesy - really works a crowd.
5. The Prodigy - Voodoo People (Pendulum Remix) [XL Recordings]
Pendulum breath fresh life into Voodoo People, creating my ultimate one more tune (for now). An incredible remix - even after 6 months I still can't find anything that could possibly be played right after it, it's really that good.
6. Musaphia & Mayhem – Rock The Bass [White label]
A banger of an electro track that will no doubt flood a dancefloor when dropped. Soon to be on general release and worth every penny.
7. James Zabiela – Weird Science [Rennaissance]
Top track mixed and produced by tech/breaks genius James Zabiela. An infectious breakdown of total funk filtered all over this dj-must-have. Warning signs, you may slip a disc in your back.
8. Bodyrox – Yeah Yeah (D. Ramirez club mix) [Eye Industris]
Minus the cheesy vocals, this track can still hold it down in any club. A truly funky electro track, but please, no vocals.
9. Hoxton Whores – Friday Saturday Love [Hoxton Whores]
If you are a fan of ground breaking dance music then this is one record label to keep an eye out for. 'Friday Saturday Love' rocks and as a dirty electro track, this tune does amazing things with a mixed vocal.
10. Full Force Sampler Session 2 – [Cyber Productions]
Not many dance producers out there give you a taste of everything. Well in this case you have three tracks to wet your appetite on this electro French label featuring Da Fresh, Baxter Baxter and Alex Orion. One track that stands out is Da Fresh 'Spaghetti Groove.'
