This hump day Stolen Records was brought you by the Caribbean.
On the nigh of the fortmonthly Dutty Dancing party at Good God, Emperor Shantan Wantan “Jamaican Patty” Ichiban and Mike “Curry Goat with Rice and Peas” Who, murked the airwaves with an ass-shaking dancehall set. Dancehall mashed up with a bit of UK grime and a lil dash of dubstep had everyone within a 27km radius inexplicably moving their waist. Even my friend Lieve and her friend Wendy all they way in Zevenbergen (not Sevenburger), Holland were getting down and daggering at work (not really, but hey, could have happened).
My favourite bass line dropped about three-quarters into the show. Louis “Stewed Peas” Bassline dashed all requests pon de floor and played whatever chune he rassclot wanted to. And it was good.
Japanese DJs are really on something else. I am too used to playing parties where people don’t care about your mixing, and just want to hear something they recognise and can get unruly too. It is the opposite in Japan. The audience hovers around the booth analysing your skills and selection, and in effect has created a different breed of DJ.
Partly raised in New York and Tokyo, Sarasa is a DJ that is the best of both worlds. She popped by the show to give us a really jazzy, soulful set of easy going hip hop. To balance it out we played some rowdy shit from the likes of T.I., Smoke DZA and Madlib.
