Release Notes:
Jesse Rose's second stab at an annual round up,
featuring mixed and unmixed CDs of tracks from the
Made to Play label's last nine releases. While not
as prolific as others, Rose is more concerned with
quality control than most. Moving away from the
fidget house sound he created as soon as it became
a formula, his restless appetite to find and
develop talent is demonstrated aptly by handing
Zombie Disco Squad mixing duties, and including two
of their productions on the unmixed disc.
The unmixed versions of these tracks serve as a
useful addition, but I can't really see people
buying Playing Around Again for the individual
songs, unless you are label collecting obsessive or
a DJ. I am more than happy to have the full length
versions of songs such as Riva Stars' awesome
"Squash" which updates Derrick Carter's boompty
template for the 21st century, but I want to hear
this in context, and that's where Zombie Disco
Squad comes into their own.
Mixing from a limited pool of songs to create such
an effective mix can't have been an easy task for
the Pan-Berlin-London pair. While not exactly
groundbreaking, the sequencing and flow shows Nat
and Lucas' skills as DJs with an increasingly
hectic tour schedule. Never boring, the mix starts
out with low slung electro of Jan Driver's "Rat
Alert" before gently tightening the tension screws
bit by bit with a brace of Oliver $ before dropping
the first bomb of their mix, their very own "Vie!".
From there the house gets woozier and wonkier,
crunching from Jesse Rose & Action Man's "Wind it
up" to Idiotproof's crowd pleasing "Gorilla". As a
label compilation - this serves admirably, as a DJ
mix - it excels.
