Four Songs To Save The Night: THE RESULTS

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Thanks to everyone who came to Poptimism on Saturday - it was a great success I thought, 15 DJs (including me and atommickbrane on warm-up and wind-down) juggled with minimal fuss, and everyone's set had at least one massive banger in it. We should certainly do it again though next time I might not put the post-it note "rankings" up publically, as I thought it was a little unfair on people who played some excellent music which the crowd failed to reward.

And now, THE SETS (some details still to be filled in). The track marked with an asterisk is that individual's TOP BANGER. Any help on filling in gaps greatly appreciated!

Mint Royale are at number one, and dudes appear to be buying individual tracks off the new Radiohead Greatest Hits...

Waldo's People: Back Again

(Already kindof-posted in the previous volume's chart snapshot)
Rubbish white boy rapping in poor english combined with awesome, hooktastic female-voiced belting from having-a-comeback 90s smash hit. Currently topping at least three charts that I know of (the official singles chart included).


Kendi - Connected

The theme of dodgy rapping/grebt melodic vocal combos continues, in a more modern guise.
Electrohousey number from a brand new act consisting of veteran knobtwiddler JS16 and hip-hop lass Yavis, with a little vocal help from a Vince Jackson. Getting increasingly intensive play on our premiere top 40 station.


DCX - Meet This Day (live clip)

So fresh it hasn't even been released yet! This lot are generally a bit too retro/melodically simplistic for my taste, but this one is awesome! Stomping marching rhythm, chorus that's ridiculously catchy for something so monotonous, and the E-Type-alike guy vocals aren't as annoying as the real thing. Looking forward to the release proper on this one!
