R E V I E W
Single Life is the dynamic DJ duo of Lefty and the Lab's own T-Kat reppin' the feel-good dance side of things. This is their debut mix, and though it was a little over a year in the making (the boys put in work), it was well worth the wait as they made sure to include only the juiciest, most choice tracks (old and new funk, soul, hip-hop, and electronic music - all filed under "good") and mixed them together to sweet perfection. The timing is great, plus there are some well thought out blends throughout that will catch you off guard (like they said - watch for the hook!). Here's just a few - Ms. Tyree "Sugar" Jones sexily crooning over Ratatat's "Wildcat," Blaqstarr's "Supastarr" under slept-on oldies (Richard Berry and the Pharoahs), Daft over Hashim, Mary Jane Girls over Herve, Jay-Z and Justice, and my favorite - Edwyn Collins with Alex Gopher's "Motorcycle." Also includes tracks from the likes of Prince, George Krantz, Sparkle, Surkin, Franki Valli, Busta Rhymes, Armand Van Helden, and a LOT more. Tasty stuff throughout reminiscent of the Second Cousins Mix. Hell, this is just as good (if not better) than some of the past Fabric Live joints. Jam packed action for about 75 minutes. Bravo dudes!
