Artist: VARIOUS
Title: Dirty Vegas - Stealth Live!
Label: Harmless
Format: Mix CD
Released: Now!
Live recording of Dirty Vegas in DJ action in Manchester, rolling out their trademark breakbeaty house to a rapturous response. Thinking of the power of Orbital at Glastonbury 1993 and Jeff Mills’ ‘Liquid Rooms’ mixes, it’s surprising more people don’t record it this way. Although the idiotic MC who interjects here should give it a rest, even if his presence is heavily restricted.
Their own remix of 21’s ‘Death Metal Disco Scene’, with its clonking Peter Hook bassline and skippy, Basement Jaxx-y house beats rounded off with some truly debauched spoken word purred by an on-heat female, drops early and ups the pace.
It’s a perfect example of what Dirty Vegas have going for them - a drugged up sense of party fun, flirtations with dance’s culture’s messy side and a skill in taking their ideas to an almost but not quite ludicrous degree.
Other names contributing tracks include Santos, Mark Knight & D Ramirez and Adam Beyer, along with several of DV’s own productions, and if big room house music with a largin’ it attitude to match is your thing, this should be top of your shopping list.
