Re: DJ Wally
I love the man's live sets (DJ sets that is). And I had high hopes for
Dog Lg Left, but it didn't live up to my expectations either. I've heard
Genetic flaw is a similarly mixed bag, just aggresively weird samples and
triphop. What makes his live sets so good is thast he combines excellent
hiphop influenced jump-up with a good sense of humor. He's the only NY DJ
I've heard who stays away from wishy washy ambience and BS. And one of
the few American DJs who are any good (187 ain't bad either, but a bit
over the top with reverb and FX on her last album).
Anyway, what all this means to say is, listen to his new album,
Up Jumpss the Boogie by Pish Posh. It's an excellent mix-cd (i think
vinyl is unmixed) of his tracks, a few of which were killers last summer
when they were being played out. It's the only American jungle I'vce
heard which has its own sound without aping Brits. Yeah, it's dancefloor
stuff, but extremely well done. It's on Rawkus I think, or Rawkus
primitive.
