Hard Act to Follow

Opening the week with Hot Chip is certainly a hard act to follow. So I knew without question Tuesday was almost like an invitation from Chris "try and beat that if you dare". So rather than trying to take some pointless high ground and contend with Chris, I decided to join him and post about some of my favourite DJ mixes of late (late as in the last 3 days).


Anyone who actually reads what I blog about or has ever been to Sydney on the weekend will be no stranger to the name John Glover. What I enjoy the most about John Glover as I've said before is that for the majority of his mixes I am familiar with the tracks and the tracks I am not are digestible enough that it doesn't matter. For better or worse, he has an annoying yet nifty knack of getting my most hated RnB tracks and using the vocals over some dirty beats, somehow keeping me dancing. While many Hot Chip fans are too specific a tastemaker to tolerate the kind of easy to swallow mixes of Glover, I myself will suck it up. Download his August promo mix via z-share.

Djake is a long time associate of whiteboydancefloor and has been honing his DJ skills at a remarkably rapid rate. Almost taking a leaf out of John Glover's book along with many other DJ's, Djake has refined his skills and quenched the appetite of his appreciators by releasing monthly mixtapes.

While compared to the likes of Glover and so on, you'd class him as an emerging DJ however his progress with every mixtape is exciting. Knowing Djake for quite sometime before he became a DJ has ofcourse made us at whiteboydancefloor harder critics on him than anyone else. His knack of constructing DJ sets which have a relevant context and flow to them has made his tastemaking a hits with those who have witnessed it live. With a very bright future and an ability to provide tunes the average man could not dare say no to, you've got yourself a winning formula.
