The Duke Rocks It

Mr. Oizo and Duke dumont were pretty awesome on friday - Mr Oizo stunned and surprised with his usual concoction of uber cool-ness and random everything goes playlists. Nelly Furtado - Maneater followed by some DnB anyone? I was kind of upset he actually learn to mix since i last saw him - i thought 'not mixing' was the new mixing?

Duke Dumont was much pretty jackin techno all night long, which was good because i was let down by his set last time - but got the right vibe this time. I didnt know much of it but recognised a bit of Popof and Style of Eye, which rocked the place considering it was filled to only half capacity.

Bugged Out with Oizo

Tonight, Londons very own Bugged Out behemoth will be gracing Sankeys in Manchester, with a curious line up of Mr. Oizo and Duke Dumont. I'm very excited, not only because Mr. Oizo is like a very fine bottle of wine, only coming out on very special occasions, but because he has the knack of being able to blend electro / jazz / acid house and RNB in the same set and get away with it.

Oh, let's not forget hes joined by Dubsided's Duke Dumont. Hoy!

Love for Sax

It's miserable outside, and i want to dispell the doom and gloom with a funky tune. Nothing better than Mr. Oizo then, with his Saxophone and slap bass number from the much hyped Lambs Anger.

Bruce Willis is dead

We all know Mr. Oizo, the bearded Ed Banger legend, who has been immortalised for his 90's levi ad soundtrack "Flat beat". Not only is that an absolute banger still, i keep forgetting that it got to number one in the UK charts... haha.

I saw Oizo a while back in manchester, and his DJing style is, shall we say "unique". Never before have i seen some mix beyonce into psytrance into SebastiAn and get away with it. People were moshing about like madmen.

Oizo seems to ooze cool, he doesnt really try to be in the limelight - hes just awesome. Creating glitchy weird bangers like transexual and the saxophone spazzyness of patrick122 makes me happy.

This newish tune, which seemed to do the rounds a little at some of the summer festivals is a bit harder, with almost a panicky - siren fueled beat. I like it, although i dont know if i could pull it off in a mix with the pizazz of the man himself.
