Buddy Peace & 'ZILLA'
A truly exclusive nugget for you all today. The iconic Warp Records will be releasing a compendium of all of their videos on September 27th, but more importantly, the DVD will come with a phenomenal mix by UK up-and-comers Buddy Peace and 'ZILLA.' This is not merely a mix CD, but more specifically an interpration by the duo of the entire Warp Catalog -- from the early Sweet Exorcist and LFO days up to the Prefuse/Anti-Pop glitchness. Purchasing the DVD is a no-brainer, but the fact that the Warp crew included this in the deal is a real treat. Fans will enjoy the identification game, with each segment of the mix borrowing from Boards of Canada, Squarepusher, Plaid, Aphex Twin and Nightmares on Wax and reconfiguring and layering them like a game of musical Upwards. Besting even some of the most accomplished feats of creative cutting-and-pasting, the Watch and Repeat Play mix is a rarity that you have to get your paws on if you have at least 3 or 4 Warp records in your collection or at least appreciate the label's historic contributions to the elevation of electronic music.
The posted tracks are three diverse 'movements' taken from the mix that should really be listened to in its entirety to be fully appreciated. Fellow DJs and skilled Acid-users will appreciate the attention to detail and creativity the due took in assembling this mix, but all music lovers (and especially Warp-addicts) are advised to take a listen. Please leave some comments if you feel as strongly about these mixes as I obviosly do.
