DJ Me DJ You

Emperor Norton

At first, I thought this sounded suspiciously like Sukia – it features that seamy, sample-heavy sound that makes me think of grainy belly dancer porn films. Sure enough, DJ Me DJ You is cored around Craig Borrell and Ross Harris (both with Sukia), with a rotating cast of guests. This five-song EP has a lot of groove, Indian sounds and samples, and heavy, heavy production, and sounds like the house band for an opium den discotheque. Positively trance-inducing.
