This new track “Tell Me” popped up in my inbox and the first thing that caught my eye was “Destiny’s Child.” The song is by 21 year old DJ & producer, Allen Hansrisuk (better known as Shmallen), and samples “Independent Women” one of the most classic tracks from my adolescent. Here Shmallen creates his own original track warping Beyonce’s voice through his beats, demonstrating his impressive production abilities.
The weekend is about to start and we’re easing into it with guidance from London producer/dj and Night Slugs co-founder Bok Bok and his recent flawless mix of bassfilled and “new skool club music” tracks done for Resident Advisor.
“The tracks in here all come from different places, and I try to bring them together and make them sound like they’re all coming from the same place. In this mix, drums rule. It doesn’t vary in tempo as much as I have at other times, so it’s really about this steady, endless momentum from the percussion. I was thinking a lot about the parameters of our Club Constructions series, which I’ll be talking about more in the coming months, but the key is to keep things stripped down. There’s also a heavy slant towards what I’ve been thinking about in my head as “new skool club music,” an idea informed by Jersey club and ballroom music and all the forthcoming Night Slugs material that’s in this mix from artists like Helix, Deamonds and Neana.”
