Lil' Phantom


Justice - Phantom Pt. 2 (Boys Noize / Soulwax) Vs. Lil' John - Get Low

Ah the always venerable remix-of-a-remix. I've had this phantom piece sitting in my set for a while now. It's a true Justice banger, no doubt about that, but it is definitely a little bit off putting to the untrained ear. Solution: Pop-rap. Lil' John's grungy vocals complement that sidechain-crushed bassline nicely. I may return to this track to add a little more than one verse, but I don't usually like to play this song for too long anyway so this may be the perfect dose.

Naznoize


Refused - New Noise Vs. Justice - Waters of Nazareth W/ Lil' John, Pase Rock

This track holds a special place in my heart. First, lets get everything out on the table. This shit is heavily inspired by Steve Aoki's Pillowface intro. I've spliced my own Nazareth mashup into the mix, but the bread of this sandwich essentially mirrors the first two tracks of his mix. Alright so the first (and last) time I played this it absolutely bombed. I saw kids who honestly did not know how to react. Given how drunk they all were, this level of indecisiveness is really unprecedented. I love the flow of this track, and love mixing in the unexpected. But, after I was told that the song sucks dick by a flamboyant party goer, I decided to put this one aside. So, here it is, extra rare and only heard by the public once before.

All yours!
