HYPETRAK 不久前才推出了 Ta-ku 制作的独特风格的混音歌单 Drive Slow, Homie》。紧接著，在洛杉矶的 DJ KITTENS 又特别为 HYPETRAK 制作了另外一张柔滑性感的歌单《For(e)play》。这歌单名本身就很形象的体现了选曲的起伏风格，开头既包括了大家熟悉的 Omarion, Drake 的音乐，又有迅速走红的法国新秀 STWO 的歌曲，中段则是 KITTENS 非常心仪的老派嘻哈乐，歌单的最后部份则是以强劲的 gLAdiator, J.U.D., 和 Busta Rhymes的歌曲收尾。以下贴出对 KITTENS 的采访，同时你也可以在这里收听《For(e)play》的全部歌曲。
Who are you?
A mildy shy chick from LA who loves cats, hip-hop, cake, and playing good tunes for people that like good music.How did you approach this mix?
Making a mix for me is a totally different game than playing out for people live. There’s no one in a room that you need to make dance. No promoters yelling at you to play specific stuff. No ones energy to really vibe off of. So it’s an opportunity to be open and vulnerable and really share something a bit more personal for me.I wanted to call it “Foreplay” because I feel like it has a kind of sexual progression to it. Starting out with sensual vibes, then stripping down to show who you really are (for me, my roots are in proper old school hip hop), then things just get a bit more intense after to say the least. That might sound blunt but whatever lol. Hopefully it makes sense when you listen.
What are the most-played songs on your personal playlist right now?
Omarion – Say Don’t Go
Future – Karate Chop
Quasimoto – Fatbacks
STWO – You (ft. Sanna Hartfield)
Dwele – Hold On
Gang Starr – WorkFavorite place to DJ in the world?
Any room that’s got eager listeners. Whether it’s one person or 5000, as long as they get it and are down, then I’m down.DJs don’t deserve enough credit because…
DJ’s that are bringing something different to the table(s) with their selections or skills deserve way more credit. The ones that share the exact same playlist as every other commercial club DJ, don’t know what they’re doing, and don’t respect the music realllllly bum me out.
