On The Boogiedownload: Mix 006 by Kat Fyte (House, UK Funky, Dubstep)

On The Boogiedownload :: Mix 006 (House-UK Funky-Etc) :: Kat Fyte

This past sunday night as I was getting back from Bump at the Phoenix Landing I was mulling about on Twitter and dropped DJ Kat Fyte (also known on there as Maxpearl) a line extending an invite to record a mix for the podcast series on here. For those who know, Kat Fyte has a pretty diverse taste in dance music, drawing from all different types of influences and backgrounds. This “melting pot” style aesthetic perfectly mirrors a lot of the music itself that has been coming out recently on both sides of the Atlantic, so he obviously makes a great addition to the BBD series.

So anyways, after hitting him up, he delivered a mix literally HOURS afterwards. Now that’s quite a turnaround!

In his own words: “So I’ve actually been thinking about this mix for a while and I just sat down with Ableton and popped it out. I would record it turntables but one of my tonearms is broken so I figured why not use Ableton?? It’s actually incredibly eclectic- I wanted to try and settle down and do a single genre mix but this is just so much more fun- going from house and techno to uk funky and dubstep…”

Kat Fyte summed everything up perfectly, this mix is a nice snapshot of what’s fresh right now across house, UK funky, dubstep, electro, and even experimental type stuff towards the end. Despite the multiple genres, overall it gels together quite well and there are no “WTF” moments where the mix abruptly changes or turns sharp corners.

Be sure to check out Kat Fyte’s blog over at popinfluence.blogspot.com and catch him play at Basstown’s next installment of Visions at Goodlife on June 12th!!

On The Boogiedownload: Mix 001 by Matt McNeill (House)

Matthew McNeill, a longtime bedroom dj, has spent nearly a decade honing his skills playing a wide variety of music.  He started playing hip-hop in the late nineties and eventually branched out into electronic dance music after a few “spiritual” experiences at the now defunct New York City nightclub Twilo. These days you are likely to hear him play techy, funky and chunky house music.  Matt looks forward to gigging out in Boston hopefully in the near future and beyond.  If you enjoy this mix and want to hear more please contact him at matthewpmcneill@gmail.com.
