│ Let's see... Great design and intricate packaging? Check. │
│ Outstanding tracklist that goes from The Orb to Ministry to The │
│ Cars to Crass to Human League to Goblin to Syd Barrett? Check. │
│ Mixed by a highly-skilled 15+ year veteran of the NYC party │
│ scene? Check. And the pricetag? Five smackers. I guess the only │
│ question left is... why haven't you added this to your cart │
│ yet? As with all these RVNG mixes, this one is limited to 1,000 │
│ copies and won't be reprinted, so don't go sleepin'. 23 tracks; │
│ 74 minutes. Recommended. │
│ │
│ │
│ Remember 2004? Remember suicidal depression in November, a │
│ whole summer spent watching VH1's "I Love the 90s", and the │
│ swift and vicious post-2 Many DJs backlash against "eclectic" │
│ DJ mixes? Well three years later, I'm still loving this │
│ tendency in 21st century mixology to just play whatever sounds │
│ good, regardless of genre or year of release. Besides, backlash │
│ comes and goes. The deserved acclaim thrown at the feet of │
│ Scottish duo Optimo is proof that even grouchy grousers have │
│ grown more comfortable with a generation of DJs out to keep on │
│ unearthing cool old music. All they're trying to do is share, │
│ you know. │
│ │
│ Optimo's JD Twitch lent a hand with the recording for Justine │
│ D's Mx5, the latest mix CD from New York's Rvng boutique, │
│ following top shelf limited edition discs from Crazy Rhythms │
│ (the duo of Dan Selzer and Mike Simonetti) and DFA duder Tim │
│ Sweeney. Unlike Optimo's mixes-- potentially deadly acts of │
│ multi-track chainsaw juggling pulled off with the blithe, │
│ dizzying panache of assured showmen-- Justine D blends and │
│ bleeds across eras with just your traditional DJ fades and │
│ chops, while still casting a wide net for cool records. A jury │
│ of cranky dance music fans might look at the tracklist for Mx5 │
│ and simply conclude "eclectic," but I'm fairly comfortable │
│ saying it's the first mix CD to ever feature Chic, Crass, and │
│ the Cars. │
│ │
│ But like kohl around the eye, Justine D traces a small, dark │
│ spot on the dancefloor where flamboyant goth-pop, haughty │
│ electro(clash), hypnotic techno, rigid EBM, concrete block │
│ German new wave, skeletal punk, and glam-era Bowie all │
│ intersect. (She takes a short side trip at the start for a │
│ little shoegaze'n'sitars psychedelic baggy.) It's a mid-tempo │
│ nighttime stroll through various districts of black-clad │
│ clubland, dour disco for dancing in place. Not for nothing does │
│ she choose the strings from the most zombie-zonked of Chic │
│ tracks, the ravenous but exhausted plea of "I Want Your Love". │
│ The smashed neon and burnt chrome of Mx5's proto-techno and │
│ bleak disco could be the soundtrack to Blade Runner's wayward │
│ replicant Priss, lost on 2014's Hollywood Boulevard Babylon. │
│ │
│ Despite contemporary DJs and mp3 blog culture making formerly │
│ forbidden found sounds like Mick Fleetwood afro-disco tracks │
│ and Alan Parsons Project album cuts cool for old punkers and │
│ nu-ravers alike, many are still wary of anything tagged in │
│ iTunes as "goth" or "industrial." My primary introduction to │
│ dance music came from an older girlfriend who had grown up and │
│ through the succession of 80s electronic beat music, from │
│ synthpop to industrial, hitting New York after college just as │
│ house music did. Listening to Mx5 brought back some pretty │
│ uncanny memories from the years we dated-- learning about │
│ Nitzer Ebb and the Orb at the same time, getting into arguments │
│ about Ministry on the subway, slowly shedding my prejudices via │
│ rock- and foot-friendly bands like Christian Death that all │
│ goth had be a) Slow, and b) Terrible. (All of my fellow My │
│ Chemical Romance fans are urged to check out Only Theatre of │
│ Pain.) │
│ │
│ All of those artists are on Mx5, snug in the DJ box next to │
│ more expected fare such as Hot Chip, Delia and Gavin, and │
│ Italian synth-soundtrack maestros Goblin-- whose nightmarish │
│ combo of distant drums, music box chimes, gargling vocals, and │
│ death-folk guitar is the creepiest thing on the disc, and │
│ that's before it turns into a funk rock record produced by │
│ Giorgio Moroder in Grandpa Munster drag. Surprise, surprise-- │
│ it all sounds great. I'm not convinced enough to go trawling │
│ through the Wax Trax stax just yet, but isn't that why we keep │
│ DJs around, to find these shiny lumps of coal? "Beware the │
│ savage lure of 1984," Mr. Bowie seems to be warbling on the │
│ song of the same name, but that's very poor advice on the │
│ evidence of Mx5. │
