Sound System Aberration S01E03

Britney Spears and Megadeth in the same programme make sense when the choice is made with a DJ’s ears rather than by the genres on the sleeves. Specific versions matter: Terminalhead, Supercharger, Elevation & Kenneth Thomas and Lunatic Calm let familiar songs be heard differently. Celldweller and Hurricane enter the same breaks conversation.

All Out opens with his own All The Way — Other Side. Omar Santana, Future Funk Squad, Nubreed and Plump DJs follow, with Boom Boom Satellites and Meat Beat Manifesto towards the end. Part of this company already existed in the producer’s 2012 selection.

Returning to it for SSA in 2021, he places a later original beside the earlier choices. A famous song, a favourite remix and an All Out production are not far apart here. The right version can let them share a party without first agreeing on a genre.
