Mix master Michael McReynolds, better known as
Sweater Disco, first caught my attention with his absolutely wild mashup of
A-Trak's "
Head Will Roll" and Nomak's "
Korean BBQ" (stream/download
here). It's edits like this that highlight his (re-recorded) set from Spring Awakening. Describing his sets as "non-wack tunes played non-seriously" this hour long adventure is just that. Ranging from all varieties of house, with touches of trap, techno, throwbacks and freakouts, there's more than enough dance madness to go around. Find the tracklist in the description, and stream via Soundcloud below.
I'm always one for a an experimental or left-field opening but boy does the
Henry Wu selection seem inspired, especially in contrast to the depths of the tech house follow up, "
Synchronise." The grooves and masterful movement just keep coming as the next 15 minutes bounce along brilliantly. The next piece I cannot help but notice and call attention to is of course the incredible
Chris Lake/
Walker & Royce collab "
Dance With Me."
Things get further twisted as we work our way into
Don Rimini's daft "
Loop Da Loop" and
DJ Ze MigL's mental "
Push 2 Shove." The wild and weird fun then seems to peak as in the next couple minutes we get a four pack of
Sweater Disco's own crafting with a barmy, bass heavy edit of
Lil Pump "
Movin" followed by two of his trademark mashups, capped by a presumably forthcoming collab with
Lvndo.
Now if you think you've heard the best of
Sweater Disco's top notch edits, I can just about guarantee your jaw will be on the floor as a dance circle builds around it. For 10+ straight minutes we're treated to five fire flips in a row. Masters At Work vs Sven Lochenhoer, M.I.A. vs Edwin Osterwaal and Kanye vs Ardalan/Justin Martin, all absolutely kill one after another. It is a delirium inducing dance delivery that stays sick right up until the last loop of
DJ Icey's "
Analog City." An unquestionable music odyssey, one worthy of revisiting as the summer progresses.
