Hollertronix

[Wood]

just got this CD today from DJs Diplodocus & Lowbudget, it's freakin ill.... highest reccommendations. if you like mashup, you need this cd.

from turntablelab.com:
"The second mix cd release on "Turntable Lab Money Studies." Musical trends are always best at their roots. Mash up was cool when it first came out, but now we're starting to realize that it lacks a unifier that makes it something lasting. However, mash ups did bring up an important issue- djs needed to start working hard again. Diplo and Low Budget have taken off where mash up ends. The Hollertronix sound adds the all-important soul and grit into the unpredictable mix, with the strong Philly musical heritage to link it all together. You see, Philly is unique in that it has a central location between nyc, baltimore, and the dirty south; add its strong dj culture history, and this is your unifier. Hollertronix is the best electro, freestyle, dancehall, jiggy club, new wave, dirty south, and baltimore house you'll find if you scoured the city for the last 15 years. Now work on your skills, and envision a series of elaborate mixes: acapella blends, quick mixes, genre skipping; and you might be ready to do the Hollertronix style. But if you're lazy, here's a chance to catch it while it's still in infancy. Biting will follow.

About the mix. This is probably one of the most diverse, but comprehensible mixes you'll ever hear. This is more fun than blasting coke lines in Vegas, and it's musically sound. You'll hear the hottest baltimore jawns, the hottest new york club jawns, the hottest dancehall jawns, the hottest dirty south jawns all mixed up proper with pinches of the Stone Roses, the Clash, New Order, and Bjork just to satisfy the intellectuals. The sound is brought to you straight from North Philly's Hollertronix party which is held in a Ukrainian banquet hall, and stinks of cabbage, you know, the cheddar. Over an hour of continuously mixed music, including a make-out session portion for feelin on the booty. Guaranteed gully sound."
