Mixed by Dave Spoon - Toolroom Knights vol. 5.
Grabbing the baton from label boss Mark Knight, the newly crowned Radio 1 DJ Dave Spoon continues his love affair with Toolroom records on
this the labels 5th instalment of the Toolroom Knights mix series. With this mix Dave further stakes his claim as one of the UK’s premier
dance artists of the last few years.
Back in 2004 Toolroom snapped up ’21st Century’ Dave’s breakthrough single which proved to be a defining moment in his career. He has
since gone on to release tracks and remixes on high calibre labels such as Big Love, Superstar, Joia and CR2 and, of course, scored a Top
40 hit with the massive ‘Bad Girl (At Night)’ featuring Lisa Mafia.
Toolroom head honcho Mark Knight sums up the reasons behind enlisting Dave to compile and mix the latest CD in the series, “Since the
first day we received a demo from Dave Spoon almost 4 years ago we have loved and respected his work. It’s been fantastic to see Dave’s
career grow and grow and it’s only right that such a great talent and a regular on the label should mix Toolroom Knights.” and with
support from DJ luminaries such as Roger Sanchez, Pete Tong and Steve Lawler, it’s easy to understand where Mark is coming from.
This upfront 2 CD mix is broken up into ‘Main Room’ and ‘Basement’ discs and as Dave explains, “The ‘Main Room’ room disc is fairly
straightforward, it’s typical of what I’ve been playing recently and there’s some big tunes on there!” True to his word the album opens
with the killer new single on Toolroom (for which the video is currently being filmed) from Dave Spoon, Paul Harris and Sam Obernik;
‘Baditude’. What proceeds is a master class in the big room house sound of now with tracks like Sebastian Ingrosso & Laidback Luke’s ‘Chaa
Chaa’, John Dahlback’s ‘Godfather’ and Zoo Brazil’s ‘Technik’ appearing among many other white-hot producers. Dave manages to convey a
range of textures across the 70 minutes, taking in shades of glitchy minimal, stomping electro and groove-based house that commands
attention throughout.
Disc 2 is the sound of Dave clearing enjoying exploring the more twisted end of the house music spectrum. “The ‘Basement Disc’ reflects a
lot of the other stuff I love right now too”, offers Dave. “I’ve played a few other places so far this year where I can experiment a bit
more and play ‘em!” The disc takes in elements of rave-infused house via Midfield General’s ‘Disco Sirens’, hip-hop in the form of Dave’s
heavy remix Dizzee Rascal’s ‘Flex’ and classics like Basement Jaxx’s ‘Flylife’ and Zero B’s ‘Lock Up’. The disc comes across like a
musical time line, stretching from Dave’ss early influences right through to the current sounds of Hervé and Count of Monte Cristal.
Across the two discs you are treated to an insider’s guide of what is going down right now on the world’s most happening dance floors.
Dave manages to execute a mix that is both bang-up-date and engaging, whilst successfully weaving his grinding electro signature sound
throughout like a musical thread.
“Musically, both discs are exactly where I wanted them to be. I’m really happy with it!” says Dave… and so are we!
