World Service 2
Resist Music
TECHNO
DAVE CLARKE is on form with the sequel to 2001\'s \'World Service\'. As with the original \'World Service\', which sold over 70,000 copies across the globe, Clarke raises the bar for techno and electro DJs everywhere. Completely mixed on his beloved Technics DZ 1200 CD decks, \'World Service 2\' is chopped, scratched and cut up with devastating hip hop-influenced panache. The Electro mix starts out twisting through tracks by his old Gigolo muckers DAVID CARETTA and THE HACKER before diving into tough British grit represented by the likes of CHRIS MCCORMACK and THE ADVENT. Naturally there\'s the requisite dose of sex\'n\'sleazing on board right from the very start when KIM PEERS requires a motherlode of rude lovin\', as does the equally lewd JUNESEX on \"Fast Food Messiahs\". Clarke also throws in surprises which hark back to his post-punk roots on tracks such as GDX\'s version of \"This Corrosion\" (originally by iconic goth band the SISTERS OF MERCY). Clarke\'s take on techno is no less refreshing. Over 26 tracks he journeys through a huge variety of styles, embracing the dark rude humour of Detroit\'s booty-tek but never losing sight of a thread of crunching four-to-the-floor dynamism. His underground techno selection throbs with restless adrenalin, not concerned with titles or individual artists, it does what techno does best - gives computer music a raw funk and contagious punch that hauls listeners and dancers in.
