So very D*I*R*T*Y...
Pilooski - for mutant children only (exclusive mix)
Pilooski is closely tied to the crew over at D*I*R*T*Y, the legendary Parisian website. They've been around for years now, collecting various music and ephemera content, and have a ton of articles, interviews, photos, wallpapers, videos, and, of particular interest to many who read MFR, incredible DJ mixes. Everything from Chromeo to Air to TTC to Four Tet - eclectic to the max.
Pilooski is the madman behind the DIRTY Edits series, which has been supported by loads of influential DJs, like Erol Alkan, Tim Sweeney, Joakim, and Optimo - have a look here for more info on each release and streams of the tracks. Pilooski told me that besides finishing up a couple new DIRTY Edits, he's got a new EP of "dirty/funky/noisy techno tracks for the dancefloor" coming up, called A Digital Catastrophe on Krikor's label, Omerta. He's also got some soul edits/tracks on a Japanese compilation, coming out in March, and he's also working on some "dark futuristic evil disco" with the guy from Octet - busy busy guy right?
If you're ready to go further into the rabbit hole, you can read the blog he and the other DIRTY folks write, over at Alain Finkielkrautrock, which (like the DIRTY Edit series) is all about "diskrautrock, deep folk, z movies, dirty diamonds, cosmic, country, balearic breakcore, codeine disco beats, south-italo disco, northern acid soul, slow is the new fast."
Awesome. As far as a tracklist for this MFR exclusive mix, well, I don't have one. You can try asking Pilooski for one, but I don't know if he'll give it to you. You might as well just listen to it and see what happens.
