When NYC’s Mishka and Canada’s Jokers of the Scene get together, this is what happens – Mix tape love!!! Featured on the Mishka bloglin, we’ve snatched it up so we can spread the love around a bit more! Here’s what Mishka had to say on mix tapes and their collab with JOTS!
“Mix tapes have always been an integral part of NYC’s underground culture and burgeoning music scene, and as such, Mishka is proud to carry on the tradition with the launch of Keep Watch. Featuring top DJ’s hailing from every genre and geographic corner, Mishka’s Keep Watch party-mixes celebrates one of the most widely practiced American art forms. Released on a semi regular basis (usually to accompanying party), the mixes will be available for free download through our site, the Bloglin and very shortly podcast on Itunes.
To kick off the Keep Watch series, we have invited our Canadian friends, Jokers of the Scene (JOTS), to put together something special just for you. This first volume by JOTS also celebrates the 5th anniversary of their high popular club night Disorganised, which has hosted the earliest Canadian appearances of such party heroes like MSTRKRFT, CSS, Diplo, Crystal Castles and Girl Talk. Listeners can expect to hear mind-melting mixes that are loud, fun and guaranteed to light up dance floors world wide.” – Mishka

Sometime within the past few weeks, Lee from No Love Lost Records, mentioned he was expecting a mixtape from Ottawa selectors, DJ Booth & Chameleonic aka JOKERS OF THE SCENE. I was beyond ELATED! Ya done good son! Well here it is and to say that it is glorious, would be an understatement!! They’ve gone and dropped a BOMB with this one, previewing tracks from their latest single, Acid Bagg. If you’ve been feeling jaded in any way about the state of dance music, well this mix is sure to wake you the fuck up!!
“DJ Booth and Chameleonic (aka: JOKERS OF THE SCENE) of Ottawa, Canada are very busy lads, in no short order they have, run a club night which during its successful five year run played host to top folks like DIPLO, MSTRKRFT, GIRL TALK, CRYSTAL CASTLES and CSS, have officially remixed BONDE DO ROLE, BRODINSKI, DJ BLAQSTARR, DANDI WIND, TITTSWORTH, DESTROY DISCO, MUSCLES, SOUTH RAKKAS CREW and KID KUDI, have released an arsenal of top notch original productions on label du jour, FOOL’S GOLD and now they’ve kindly done an exclusive mix for The Mixtape Project. An explosive hour of deep Electro-Tech, Fidget and buzzing Progressive, the highlight of this extremely well selected and professional mix has to be the appropriately named “Baggy Bottom Boys,” a red-hot JOKERS OF THE SCENE exclusive that exudes early 90s rave era happiness from its every beat and pore. By the end of the summer, “Baggy Bottom Boys” along with similarly superb and inspired “White Knight Two” by SURKIN will likely be responsible for putting more smiles on clubbers faces than any other dance tunes this year. We are very happy indeed to have JOKERS OF THE SCENE in the mix for No Love Lost, be sure to visit their MySpace and say, hello! Enjoy the mix.” – Lee, NLLR
