Jokers of the Scene “Life Laughter Death” Mixtape May 2011 by Jokers of the Scene
Every once and a while I like to channel my inner raver. I recall the days, a decade ago, wearing pants with enough material to make up a closet full of my jeans now. I think of those days when I didn’t own glow sticks just in case of a roadside emergencies.
Ah, the good old days… Man I wish I had music like this back then. Don’t get confused, Jockers of the Scene only reminds me of those days by genera alone. This mix isn’t cheese ball 90′s rave… It’s just straight nasty music.
I love how dark the mix gets and how it continues to build upon itself. The steady dance beat refuses to quit until the final bars. Its one of those mixes that make you want to continue to hear what’s next. So many times Dj’s derail themselves with one bad track 10 minutes in. Inevitably there will be that track but not on this one, for me at least.
Like everything Jokers of the Scene does this mix is excellently crafted in song choice, quality of the mixes, and overall speed. Whether you check it out to remember those raves in the Nineties or if you are born in the Nineties and need something to get you amped for the rave this weekend; this mix should hit on all points in between. Cheers.
