Sounds: Booka Shade: DJ-Kicks (!K7)
Text Alif Omar Bringing on their trademark tech-house sound, German veterans Booka Shade finally get a shot at the DJ-Kicks series. The unexpected mix of obscure material that ranges from dance classics such as Yazoo’s ‘Situation’ to John Carpenter’s movie score reflects the pair’s crate digging talents.
Sounds: Soulwax: Most of The Remixes (Parlophone)
Text Alif Omar Not many can bastardise pop as well as Soulwax and this 2 CD opus is no exception – take Sugababes’ ‘Round Round’ for example. Eschewing the standard protocol of modifying rock songs into pop-dance, here they’ve turned that bright idea on its head and made Sugababes an all-girls indie band.
