"Pretty Vacant, a new DJ duo who played a big role in getting last weekend's excellent Glass Candy show together ... Consists of Dallas party people Lolita and Justin V (former member of High Society). Pretty Vacant brings a diverse and tasteful palette to the table, focusing on everything from new house (I refuse to call it "Blog House") to disco to punk to synth pop. The mix below consists of original songs and remixes by the likes of Brazilian Girls, The Teenagers, Mstrkrft, New Young Pony Club and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, among others, and the thing builds up, peaks and comes down over the course of just under 30 minutes. The mix is very well put together, by the way, featuring a dark party vibe that's a lot of fun without being too obvious. I honestly enjoy every second of it thanks to the choice remixes and artful execution, and I think once you listen to it, you'll agree that we're likely to see these kids around town a lot more in the coming months." - WESHOTJR.COM
"Aren't you tired of picking out good songs for yourself? I sure am; thats why I'm such a fan of Dj mixes. Like pod-casts without all that annoying talk, I may or may not get introduced to great new shit, and a fair bit of classics all in the time it takes to download and burn a single file (even if it is, like, two hundred megabytes). That's also why I'm excited about the new project going on over at our friend's We Shot JR's place by the name of We Shot a Mix. Over the coming Summer they will be bringing readers dance-mixes put together by choice bands and Dj's from the DFW area, featuring original remixes and custom lists, this is sure to help keep our upcoming blistering months cool as iceeeee.
The first mix comes from recently regrouped High Society members in the form of Pretty Vacant. We haven't talked about this boy-girl duo on Party Ends before, but listening to their remixes of MIA and Crystal Castles right now makes me pretty sure that we will write about them much more in the future. So head over to WSJR and check out the writeup and rundown on their party starters and pick up the mix. Also, check out the pretty choice tracks on the Pretty Vacant myspace as well, you won't be sorry." - PARTYENDS.COM
