Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs - Face 2 Face Mix
Orlando Tobias Edward Higginbottom, better known by another four-part name, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs (or TEED for short) shared an eclectic mix "for kitchen dancing in times of isolation" this past Friday. A mind-blowing melange, this "Face 2 Face Mix" features a host of electronic energizers sure to inspire some interesting dance moves. The grooves grow steadily through more world-type tracks in the open to the seriously jacking Bufiman "Blow Your Head" around the 15 minute mark. Dancing between disco and dark, acid-tinged tracks the next section really showcases TEED's diverse ear and the influences he brings to the fore in this mix. This diversity is perhaps best illustrated in the move from the powerful Anatolian folk techno track "Teleported" by Anunaku to the crisp, pristine piano-led and beautifully buoyant Bag Raiders remix from TEED himself. This theme of incredible movement and multiplicity continues through the second half, but rather than spoil any more of the "Face 2 Face Mix," I'll let you enjoy it unencumbered below. Stay in, stay safe and let's dance this off.FOLLOW TEED: FACEBOOK SOUNDCLOUD TWITTER
