Review Of Vol.2
The 2nd instalment of 'The Chop Shop' comes from Californian born &
Cork based Justin O' Donnell aka 'Jus Me'. The winner of The C.I.T.
'Hit The Decks' competition in 2005 offers up a grittier approach with
his submission all cut, scratched, dropped & blended together in his
own particular way. To date he's aired his wares in 'The Savoy', 'Club
Isobar', 'Lebowski's', 'The L.V' & with the 'Elementary crew'. Expect
to see & hear more from him as he's on turntable duties for the
revered Tralee based hip hop group 'Lineage'.
(www.myspace.com/thelineagekrew) Inspiration wise he cites Kid Koala,
The C2C DJ.Team along with DJ.Shadow & Cut Chemist's 'Brainfreeze'
project as influences. So expect a similar approach here. The
collection is a bit disjointed in places but always interesting & one
of the most unique mixes I've heard in a long time.
It draws you in from the start with 'Perfect Circles' moving 'Lullaby'
& some fine 'transformer' scratching ( couldn't help squeeze the
reference in somehow) before pausing & continuing in an unpredictable
fashion throughout, this however is not meant as a negative but for me
only adds to the charm of the offering. The mix features more
traditional hip hop cuts from Blackilicous & Beastie Boys next to some
classic soul & more rock based numbers from Beck & Bjork. Here the
DJ.breaks off an excellent display of skill over the Icelandic one's
vitriolic 'Army of me' & for me this is where his ability really
shines. Also on the roster you'll find DJ Krush, Buck 65 & 'Eddy
Senay's' funky take on 'Ain't no sunshine'. I was pleased too to hear
one of my own personal favourites 'A Tribute to T.R.O.Y.' from 'J
Rawls'. Jam resident Colm Kenefick also gets 2 nods 1 being his
excellent remix of Lupe Fiasco's 'I Gotcha' here in instrumental form
with more displays of dexterity from 'Jus Me' & the 2nd being 'Dancin'
Skulls'. File this one under home listening for those who like the
rawer & less polished approach to Hip Hop, Soul & Funk.
