I have a bit of an aversion to the bouncey house sound... too many people seem to get into it as producers because you can skip a few steps in the learning curve by just relying on sample packs. Now at the risk of offending anyone the fact is that a lot of genres over in this field lend itself to this kind of thing ... slap on some obscure native african warcry with a darbuka drum rhythm from the middle east et voila... tech house, tribal house, bouncey house whatever.. That said there are many people who decidedly rise above this lazier pack... and you could never accuse the dirtybird record gang of dragging their heels when it comes to creativity and production know how... So egged on by my fellow blogger and bouncey house LOVER DJ roledex I really wanted to check out ZOmbie Disco Squad last week at Piknic... With releases on the legedary San Franciso label (Can a label be legendary after 5 years?) and following in the steps of Jesse Rose and Cluade VOn Stroke these guys are amazing. I also really wanted to see Carnival circus freaks NOZE.... I saw them two years ago at Mutek and their hilarious routine won me over. They mixed their weird clashing genres of Klezmer, , house, live vocals and humour like true entertainers....
