come as you are

youth. young edits. i think he goes by both. either way i’ve been a fan of this young (!) australian’s stuff for a while, he’s always making useable edits and funky tracks. most recently he seems to be subtly turning his hand to rock classics, specifically the cure’s why can’t i be you and talking heads’ naive melody (which, i might add, is used at the end of wall street 2, much like the first film – though i wouldn’t recommend seeing it). this time he’s done something very brave, gently tweaking nirvana’s come as you are to make it play-out-able. not quite ep1x bang0rz status, but early room-building disco mix times appropriate, at the very least. impressive.

i’m taking the weekend off

yeah i’m going to edinburgh to hang out in cool old-style cinemas and eat lots of greggs and dress up as mark zuckerberg for halloween.

i already mentioned that awesome ra podcast, but there’s more amazing halloween-themed mix/podcast dealyos to check out this weekend while you pretend to play with ouija boards and whatever. there’s this awesome old mix boy 8-bit did a few years back called Halloween Special!!! Oooh Sppoky Sounds!!, i remember listening to it in the hmv in preston at some that definitely wasn’t halloween, but simply because it popped up next in my “mixes” folder – i tend to tag all my dj mixes as “mixes” so they all end up in the same place in my ipod, but that means that i’ll have a mix i made followed by diplo or erol or, as happened, boy 8-bit. i don’t care though, it’s such a good mix it’ll work any time. it’s all creaking doors, creepy vocal samples and chilling sounds and songs.
