DeepskyThe folks over at Hybridized.org have been busy over the last few weeks posting a slew of mixes from Hybrid, Andrew Kelly and Greg Benz, but by far my favorite new mix of the bunch is a double-cd/mp3 offering called Dirtier Little Slut from J.Scott G of Deepsky. Ostensibly mixed by “Blue Rubber” (Buck Morello and Rusty Wood), I’m pretty sure Scott’s just screwing with us on that.

The first disc is a chunky, breakey affair with a couple familiar tracks, notably Duoteque’s “Drug Queen”, Starkillers’ “Discoteka”. One highlight for me is a delightfully cheesy track, “Where The Party’s At”, a cranking mix of guitar samples and bleeping electro. Overall, disc one is nice, but the mix really starts kicking in on disc two.

The after a relatively mellow start, Disc Two shifts into high-gear around 9 minutes in with the Moroder-esque Quivver track “Not Givin’ Up” (Nox & Beckers Mix) that leads directly into one of the best tracks of the year “Colour Me Blind” by Beckers–truly a wicked track that chugs along like a 2AM clubbing freight train. Other highlights include the Backdoor Hussies “I wanna feel ya”, Prodigy’s trippy retro-feeling “Girls”, and “Heel ‘N’ Toe” from Freeland.

Not content to go out quietly this disc finishes with an electro-funk orgy of beats, analog synth stabs and syncopated basslines featuring Sarah McLeod’s “He Doesn’t Love You (Hook ‘n’ Sling Vocal Mix)” (also one of the best tracks of the year IMO) and Stretch Sylvester & Ben Macklin’s “Fireworks” featuring a sublimely integrated vocal from Stevie Nicks’ “Edge of Seventeen”.

So it’s been a while since I’ve been really happy with a whole mix, but this is a great effort…particularly Disc Two. Download it at Hybridized.org and consider supporting them with a mere $12/quarter donation to support their bandwidth needs and keep the mixes coming.
