I mixed these thirteen songs together in my living room. That’s where the turntables, mixer, Yamaha amp and Technics ghetto blaster speakers are set up. I started with one of my favorite MK dub’s - the one for Bizarre Inc’s “Love In Motion”. The loosely glued together rough arrangement of MK’s Dub, peppered with outtakes from vocalist Yvonne Yanney, always surprises me with it’s contours even though I’ve heard it dozens of times. The first blend was into the Two Armadillos Remix of Jovonn’s “A Definition Of A Track”. I couldn’t envision a better way to get the blood flowing. Smith and Dawson have struck such an intense and emotional groove with Two Armadillos that I am nearly a dogmatic follower of their music at this point. From track 3 to 13 my cerebral cortex, more or less, switched off. Things just naturally happened. New tracks played nice with older ones; songs about luv called to the dance floor, exhalations echoed and bit by bit came chirps, twangs, bumps, breezes, strings, pianos, bass, drums and studio magic. The atmosphere got colder outside and I sweat in the living room, headphones on, dancing as beats melted together.
