To commemorate the release of the latest addition to UK clubbing institution
Bugged Out!'s pioneering
Suck My Deck mix series (released today on
New State Recordings), we thought we'd give you a preview of what to expect if you were to pick this up from your local record store...
In many ways the natural successor to
Simian Mobile Disco and
Boys Noize, who each strove to reflect and exhibit their interpretation of underground clubbing in their respective
Suck My Deck compilations, it is
Brodinski who opens our eyes to a fresh fascination for all things techy, bouncy, percussive and, above all,
fun!
Opening with one of our favourites here at
MildWild,
Duke Dumont's remix of
Bathroom Gurgle, it's not long before we're guided into a maelstrom of hard-hitting bass, melodic synths and techy attitude which includes tracks from current darlings of the scene
Renaissance Man, the ever-funky
Format:B and the imperious
Popof.
Previews of yet-to-be-released bangers from the likes of studio-partner
Yuksek,
Kenton Slash Demon (the long-awaited
Khattabi),
Franz & Shape,
Momma's Boy,
Noob,
Riva Starr,
DJ Zinc and
Okain are all a welcome bonus, but the Frenchman's inclusion of perhaps-forgotten favourites, such as
Paul Ritch's
Nordbanhoff and
Roland M. Dill's jacking remix of
Lucio Aquilina's
Disco Bus, are testament to a man who has gone beyond making a mere hype mix, but a debut compilation which can be taken as a true representation of his own vision of dance music and DJing.
Having listened to this mix all the way through (and many times on repeat since!), you're easily reminded why this man from Reims has been making waves all over house, techno and electro scenes for the past couple of years: his mixing and attention to detail are superb, but it is his ability to not only ride the crest of a wave but actually help
create it, through his dedication to discovering and pushing good new music of all kinds, which makes him - and at only 22 years of age!! - such an exciting prospect for the future.
To get you in the mood, here's a full tracklisting and just a few of the ace tunes from a mix packed full of punch...

Gregor Salto ft. Thais - Mexer (Funkin Matt 3AM Remix)Nice deep beats with a tribal flavour. And I don't know exactly what Thais is saying, but it sounds sexy...
It's lucky Paul Ritch can remember his scales, because he uses them to great effect here in this soaring piece of techno. A forgotten favourite?
If you haven't picked this up yet, where have you been? Rusty liquid synth madness with extra punch and intriguing vocal snippets.
Snarling all the way, the punch on this is not to be underestimated. A dancefloor devastator.
An alluring slice of deep house packed to the brim with reverberating synths and effects, whilst maintaining a strong sense of openness and even playfulness.
Anyway, enough of all this talk.

Now, on a more serious note, Fokko Versloot, who is featured today along with his lifelong buddy and producing partner, Koen Lebens with the track 'Circus', has just passed away. The 26 year-old DJ/Producer/Promoter/Journalist/Event Organizer hit a table in his Rotterdam home, after a fall which was likely caused by an epileptic attack of which he didn't survive the injuries. This summer was proving to be a huge summer for Fokko, with his tracks being played by some of the most influential DJs & Producers out there and some dream fulfilling gigs lined up at places like Awakening & Dance Valley. An impressive career was definitely in the pipeline for Fokko Versloot. We here would like to send our thoughts out to Koen Lebens, Fokko's family, friends and colleagues as this is truly devastating news. You will be missed Fokko, Rest In Peace.
