DJ DONNA SUMMER “MIXTAPE MONDAY”
A Magnum track recently made it to Mixtape Mondays on WeAreSkitzo.net mixed by Nightshifters label head DJ Donna Summer . Get to it:
DJ Donna Summer did a mix for Mixtape Mondays on WeAreSkitzo.net just out today. Like last week’s mix by I.D., he wrote a really great comment for the mix:
I’ve been feeling quite literate lately and have been wanting to get off the footpath a bit of late, so while there’s def some good club tunes in this mix, be warned it gets pretty arty. And why not? Sure there are mixes that are made for pre/post parties, dancing with friends and what not, but mostly I suspect people listen to them on their iPods while walking around or at a pretty quiet volume while they work. It’s a journey after all and maybe I have some story to tell.
As for the mix, it’s a bit of old and new with just a pinch of the random. It starts off with a collage of 3 tracks, 2 of them from the Sonic Youth side project Ciccone Youth and with a forthcoming new track on Nightshifters of one of our newest signings, Talk. From there it goes to a remix I made for Hostage, a great afro-pop influenced track by De?bruit, and another young act, NuJax, but then I get tricky throwing in a vintage Autchre track into an absolutely bizarre Christian Martin track- Ghosts. The rave shows back up with Magnum, a pretty sped up Nero-funk track by Mux Mool, a little touch of an old Dat Politics track then pretty much the entire “Revolting Jocks” track by the JOTS boys. Killer. From there we go back to 1990 and the always awesome “Hello Teenage America” from Meat Beat Manifesto’s incredible album 99%. We finish things off with another brand new producer, Distal from Atlanta, a touch of a freaked-out Morricone composition and then cap it off with the full version of “Tocatta” from Oslo’s Jaga Jazzist – a track that I always get lost in and also equally as inspired. – Jason Forrest aka DJ Donna Summer
