Artist: JDH & Dave P
Title: Go Commando
This is a DJ mix set CD with the tendency to lean toward old school hard house. There are some familiar dance numbers here from notable indie electronic acts like The Knife and the Rapture but their song structure hasn’t been changed hardly at all, if anything is changed its just an annoying blippy squelch or vocoder over an otherwise unchanged song. The mix shines when it plays unknown dance numbers that lend themselves towards mixing more, although it’s kind of obvious that that would work better. It’s strange that the interludes are some of the most enjoyable pieces on the entire disc. Like “Do not Break” (8). The songs that could stand on their own would be “Mr. Oizo – Halfanedit” (9) which features a ferocious beat and some serious scratching. The other is opener “Jaokim – I wish you were gone” (1) which uses an arpeggiated loop and a vocoder to add to its space age feel. As an original work it is lacking, but as a ready made sound track to get down on the town with, I say to you, “Have at it.”
