DJ KNIFE is out of control. One of the few DJs around town that can spin any party and adapt to any style from downtown hotspots to Allston DIY spaces (he spun the Phoenix launch party back in September), Knife has now birthed another Strange Brew mega-mix indicative of his schitzo tastes. With 40 tracks mixed super-quick in under 42 minutes, the third installment runs the dance floor course from remixes of Passion Pit to Toto, Jane’s Addiction to Neon Indian, Janet Jackson to Haim, Jamie Lidell to Jay-Z.
What else? “Of course there’s gotta be some trap stuff, a smidgen of classic rock, couple retro tracks and a lotta French sounding dance music,” Knife says.
Remember those “set it and forget it” commercials for the Showtime Rotisserie chicken cooker? This is the DJ mix version of that. Grab the entire mix below, then celebrate its release tomorrow night, March 22 at Good Life on Kingston Street downtown when Knife hits the decks with El Poser and Leah V. They’ll be upstairs while Pico Picante rages down below.
