Sometimes DJs like to stick to a specific genre with their mixes, but often the best ones just screw it and get all Jackson Pollack, throwing a bunch of songs together and making it work. Suite 711 is such a mix, cramming nine tracks of differing music genres together in under 25 minutes. While the tracks are different on their own, together they make a cohesive musical statement, which is what a mix should always aim to do.
Tracklist with each song’s accompanying music genre provided below.
(1) LCD Soundsystem – “North American Scum” (Dance Rock / No Wave Revival)
(2) Kaos – “Boogie Bot” (Electro / Acid House)
(3) Sylvia Marks & Hal9000 – “We Electric” (German Techno)
(4) M.I.A. – “10 Dollar” (Digital Dancehall / Alternative Dance)
(5) Lindstrom & Christabelle – “Baby Can’t Stop (Aeroplane Remix)” (Milky Disco / Balearic)
(6) Animal Collective – “My Girls” (Neo-Psychedelic / Experimental Rock)
(7) “One Life to Leave” – Out Hud (Dance Rock / No Wave Revival)
(8) “Let’s Dance and Freak” – Kerrier District (Disco House)
(9) “Paris (Aeroplane Remix)” – Friendly Fires (Milky Disco / Balearic)
Disparity is the new cohesive.
