I always wanted to do a DJ Battle between someone into death metal or some other hard style Rock (that I don’t yet know the genre name for) and a DJ into dark, hard Techno and see who can destroy the other sonically. A “Nasty”-off if you will.
I have a feeling whatever feelings of grimy-murderousness the Rock DJ can bring about will be crushed under the wheels of a techno remix reaching into your brain and directly triggering the feelings without the need for language.
So, track suggestions for a Nasty-off? Bring out your skin crawling aggro tracks! I’ll start:
Look up some tracks by Current Value such as G2 Hunt, Addict or The Indivisible Force, …
The Outside Agency & Ophidian - Scattered
Gein - The Sermon
Limewax - Inside The Crack (Technical Itch VIP)
Cooh - Alarmax
Technical Itch - Death Jazz VIP
The Panacea - Chiropteran
These are mostly Techstep but Scattered is Hardcore/Gabba
May or may not be exactly what you’re looking for but some crazy stuff nonetheless.
P.S. This song is crazy good and will cause instant mosh pits.
Does it have to be 4-beat based? If not, there’s some early breakcore, but it appeals to the rock crowd too and mixes with nothing/everything. Plus you WILL win when noise is the deciding factor.
Or this one:
Man, I soooo miss the good years of Digital Hardcore Recordings. Shizuo vs. Shizor is still one of my favourite albums, actually makes me giggle everytime I think of it
Plus It’s always great fun to see people who are not used to that stuff trying to dance to it. The rock crowd loves it!
(Oh, and by the way: YES, it does sound THAT crappy on the original vinyl. Part of the experience!)
