Various Artists - inthemix is six, Mixed by Hyper & Bass Kleph
To celebrate ITMтАЩs 6th birthday theyтАЩve just embarked on their most extensive celebratory campaign to date and itтАЩs coming to a venue and CD store near you. Hopefully this isnтАЩt your first trip to the site. If so, all you need know is that in six years ITM has grown from a bedroom endeavour to AustraliaтАЩs #1 music site and dance music resource. This is the third in the ITM CD series; following two successful releases in 2005, and is by far the ballsiest. INTHEMIX IS SIX explores the breaks genre and is mixed courtesy of two of the biggest names on the scene, internationally and locally; Hyper and Bass Kleph.
Coincidently it was around the genesis of ITM that Guy Hatfield aka DJ Hyper was beginning to make his mark on the scene with his two тАЬY3KтАЭ compilations for Distinctive. The first of these still arguably regarded a seminal classic in breaks and one of the highest selling breaks compilations to date. Compilations with Ministry of Sound and Bedrock have followed but HyperтАЩs focus of late has been on his production work, which has in turn spawned a live band and a soon to be released artist album. The influence of HyperтАЩs band work is evident as this first disc certainly has an underlying rock feel to it.
Heavy hitting beats courtesy of Warren SuicideтАЩs I Know You lay a solid foundation before Hyper introduces the first of his own tracks (remixes for this compilation) from his upcoming album тАЬWe ControlтАЭ. Twisted Emotion has vocals from former Prodigy dancer Leeroy Thornhill, We Control features heavy distorted guitars and Prodigy contributor MC Xander, whilst Captivate is the most all out rock sounding with itтАЩs live drum beats and and more song based structure. Between these tracks the mix progresses from the rolling breaks of Way Out West and Plump DJs through to the crossover of Basement Jaxx and all out mayhem of PendulumтАЩs Voodoo People remix.
Fresh from picking up his тАШBest RemixтАЩ Breakspoll Award (the GrammyтАЩs of breakbeat!) with co-producer Nick Thayer for their touch up of the Drumattic Twins FeelinтАЩ Kind of Strange, 2006 looks set to be another huge year for Sydneysider Stuart Tyson aka Bass Kleph. Through his own label Breaking Point, Bass Kleph has been garnering a reputation as a producer of note on the worldwide scene. However anyoneтАЩs whoтАЩs seen his live lap top and efx show that he toured extensively in 2005 will know he puts on a hell of a live performance as well, full of his own tracks, cheeky remixes and bootlegs. All up making him one of the leaders in taking the Australian scene forward.
Bass Kleph doesnтАЩt pack as heavy a punch as Hyper in terms of immediate impact but by the end leaves you feeling just as beaten. He opts for a little more variety on his journey, not going for the jugular straight off. Tracks such as MilkeтАЩs (featuring Friendly) She Says and Meat KatieтАЩs Round and Round offer a two-step feel early in the mix whilst ModeselektorтАЩs Silkkon has a more floating funky electro ragga vibe going on. He moves towards a heavier groove towards the end with the Street Punx vs Kleph & Thayer highlight Get Up Move. With 20 tracks all up Bass KlephтАЩs is a more rapid-fire mix and for this reviewer the highlight of the two.
The best thing about both of these mixes is that each is stamped with the personality of itтАЩs respective DJ. Both Hyper and Bass Kleph offer their own production and remix efforts, steering away from over doing the seemingly obvious big name tracks one after the other. Up front and pushing things forward whilst still having a good time. Then again thatтАЩs what ITM is all about isnтАЩt it!
