Weekend Weapons: Justin Robertson aka The Deadstock 33’s
Weekend Weapons: Justin Robertson aka The Deadstock 33’s
4 August, 2011 | 5.05AMThe latest EP from Paris’ Tigersushi label finds Stopmakingme (aka London promoter, DJ and producer Dan Avery) teaming up with The Deadstock 33’s, otherwise known as the British dance-music veteran (and former Hacienda resident) Justin Robertson.
Robertson’s deep grounding in all things boogie and Balearic shines through on the four-track ”Gravity” EP, flush with bright analog arpeggios and rickety drum machines; for fans of International Feel and DFA, these tracks are no-brainers for summer BBQs and sweltering basements alike.
We asked Robertson to run down some of his current faves; read on to check out his robo-disco-acid-wiggler picks.
Gonno, “Acdise” [International Feel]
A swirly trip of a tune, hypnotic and enthralling, a perfect end-of-night beauty. [Out September 12, featuring remixes from Gatto Fritto and Skudge.]
The Deadstock 33s and Stopmakingme, “Oscillate” [Tigersushi]
From our new Tigersushi EP. An arpeggiated vocoder disco techno wiggler that’s been very effective over the summer.
Silver Shower, “Early Fever” [Plus 8]
Still a favourite—an acidic swirler with a top scat vocal from a month or so ago, will be in the box for the summer and beyond.
Abstraxion, “Jus Acid” [Different]
The In Flagranti remix and the original mix are superb, a new vintage sound!
Die Vogel,"Fratzengulasch" [Pampa Records]
Very inventive and enthralling tune, playful and fascinating.
Recloose, “Tecumseh” [Rush Hour]
Mind-bending jacker that manages to be dirty and beautiful at the same time.
Arveene and Misk, “Mi Casa (The Deadstock 33s Remix)” [Animal Language]
Live-sounding techno with a dub punk-funk flavour. [Check out the original here.]
Light Year, “Marcellus (Malente Dub)” [Bang Gang]
Much fun and energy on this quirky number, big in fields.
