Pick
of the Week:
DJ Wicked, Mix Master Mike and DJ P
Flexing
beats like ripped muscles, this DJ trio can bend Hip-Hop rhythms
to fit just about any song imaginable; hoary classic rock, horror
soundtracks, hardcore techno, you name it. The initiated know Mix
Master Mike as a member of that unstoppable turntablist squad, the
Invisibl Skratch Piklz; everyone else knows him as the manic DJ
for the Beastie Boys. Solo, Mike mixes up musical history like an
oracle casting bones, using the remnants to foresee the future.
And he's damn funky too.
Local
boy Wicked has just released a fine, spectrally entrancing mix disc
of his own, Just Plain Terror, a bubbling cauldron of thrill-killer
samples, darkside beats, and, of course, chattering MCs.
Finally,
DJ P is one of those uber-postmodern DJs who likes to mess with
preconceptions by plastering Hip-Hop rhythms onto songs where one
least expects them, e.g., a Foreigner powered ballad or some such
atrocity. He's probably sick of being compared to DJ Z-Trip, but
if the show fits...
