it didnt make me want to get up out of my office chair and dance in my cubicle like the good mixtapes i hear now and then. i didnt like how it was all deep sounding and then trainwrecked into some straight up moldy cheese (r u that somebody rmx). moldy cheese because those pop lyrics are way worn out, pummeled into our heads over here in america quite a few years back via radio. bringing up some cheese from way back can be great, but you have to do it just right - i.e. it has to be something far back enough and not so exposed so that when we hear it we say "ohhhh yeaaa! i forgot all about that song! i forgot how good that song was". i can assure you no one is going to have one of those moments with that track, at least not in the states. and ok technically it wasnt a trainwreck, it was a mix where the 1 count of one track is layed on the 2nd or 3rd or 4th set of beats of the other track, which can either sound f'n fantastic like how villalobos does it, or it can sound really really really bad. unfort in this case this would be moment on the dancefloor when you actually have a booty you're tryin on and you two have made a connection, and then that awkward noisy moment happens that breaks the flow and then you have to come up with some conversation because you both have stopped dancing or you are just swaying back and forth to keep the energy going which is a bit of adrogenous behavior = kills the mood. and i do like mistakes in sets, i like the rawness and live one takeness of it, but only if it sounds good. it just didnt sound good. best best is to not try to do a raw live feeling 30min set in one take, but rather just keep spinning for hours on end, and then pick 30min from somewhere in that recording.
