Round Table Knights – Winter Mix 2009
I’ve been following Swiss dj/production duo Round Table Knights for the past year and a bit, but to be honest, I’ve been holding back. Not sure if it’s because I didn’t get what they were doing or perhaps fully appreciate the crazy embracing lots of kinds of sounds that in theory I should love, but in reality baffled me. Hip hop, indie pop and italo disco – what? It shouldn’t be that hard to fathom, but there you go!
I burned myself with tracks such as “Freaks from Desire” (yes, a reworking of Gala’s “Freed from Desire”), which I’m sorry, split the world into two. Still the boys pump out some wicked remixes and came out with a belter of a tune last year with “Hold Me Back“, which was remixed by The Bulgarian and was featured on Trash last year. Fucking bring it on!
RTK are currently on the last leg of their USA tour, ending in San Franciso on 3 April at the Rickshaw Stop. I reckon seeing them live will be a good one, not least recommended by the parties they’ve rocked at (Sonar, SXSW, etc) or the people they’ve knocked elbows with (TTC, Beastie Boys, Holy Ghost!, Spank Rock, Coco Rosie, Justice, Modeselektor, Simian Mobile Disco, Soulwax, M.I.A, Crookers, Poni Hoax, etc).
Not to name drop or anything, right?
Round Table Knight’s Winter Mix 2009 dishes up some stripped down minimalist and tribal house, taking me back to the sweaty, smoke-filled blacked-outclubs in Berlin I was partying in a month ago. Music’s been a little bit brash lately, and it’s a relief to go back to the basics.
Get stuck in to this one.
