cherrystones - hidden charms
following on from david holmes mix on 13 amp 2 years ago, we now have twisted nerve's fave dj gareth 'cherrystones' goddard giving us a fine insight into the grooves that make his parties swing. this mix along with david's own, and last years soulsavers mixes avoids all modern mix styles and sounds, and revisits some long lost 7" nuggets that us normal punters would never have access to, for this we should be grateful.
well i certainly am.
cherrystones mix is not a showcase for scratching/cut-n-paste skillz at all, instead this is a straight run through the personally selected tracks, so we get the pumped up thrills of marsha hunt, the funky 60's piano riffs and even a cher track! something i never expected to have in my collection. so once again 13 amp have a sure fire winner on their cards, lets hope that this gets its well deserved audience. in other words, if you want a selection of funky 60's garage rock, soul blasters, and vibed up rawness then this should be top of your want list.
f*ck kfc-sanctioned soul compilations and grab this essential collection.
superb stuff.
