Phoenix based DJ Clap (a.k.a. John Luke) delivers a new short TOTAL MIX that contains the entirety of last year’s LP Best Night Ever and EP Bliss. At first, the whacked out, crazy high BPM madness seems to be maniacally moving forward, but Clap’s clean mixing and attention to detail harness the energy of the hyper juke, delivering us something that is palletable but still out of control.
TOTAL MIX takes a dance genre and appropriates it to be something that is almost meditative. Yes, juke is always connected to dance and the body, but the mix provides something that acknowledges that the mind is part of the body; they are not separate entities. Check out TMT’s review of Best Night Ever here, but juke (like all dance music) is best appreciated in its original habitat: the mix.
