Modeselektor - Boogy Bytes Vol. III [BPitch Control]

Label / BPitch Control
Cat # / BPC151
Released / April 2007
Style / Techno, Grime, IDM, Rap

When the first CD from the �Boogy Bytes� series was released in February of last year, the BPitch Control press release promised �25 tracks, all digitally spliced and diced, then layered on top and within one another like a fine Finnish pastry�, and this is exactly what Kiki�s take on the idea delivered (incidentally, it was eventually named RA�s 4th Best Compilation of 2006). But by the time of Sascha Funke�s mix a few months later, we were taken right back to straightforward mixing territory: track selection aside, gone was Finnish pastry-like vertical composition, and in its place were slightly more conventional and horizontal arrangements, hence the slight feeling of letdown volume two somehow created. Now that German duo and BPitch�s own multifaceted Modeselektor are at the helm, though, eclecticism is back at the roots of the series, and �Boogy Bytes Vol. 3� could even be one of this year�s most out-there and all-encompassing mixes.

If you were into Modeselektor�s wide arrayed tastes (as displayed on �Hello Mum�, their first artist album released in 2005), then �Boogy Bytes Vol. 3� will be right up your alley. I mean, where else could you hear Spank Rock, Paul Kalkbrenner and James Holden lined up and blended into one another? Even another airing of �Erotic Discourse� (remember: there is no such thing as an overplayed track or an overplayer, only overplayees) is playfully introduced and combined to C�Hantal�s shouting and sexed-up �The Realm� acapella. The Errorsmith/Robag Wruhme/Female/Krause Duo short sequence does sound like an entirely renewed creation, and the last fifteen minutes of the mix, going from TTC, Clatterbox and Mr. Oizo to u-Ziq and Radiohead in one amazingly sinuous path, is more likely to leave you besotted, if not a bit dizzy, in the most facetious of manners.

Overall, Modeselektor�s choices, albeit momentarily spaced-out and maybe a bit too trippy for some (the �Poor People Must Work�/�Southern Comfort�/�Moog Acid� succession, for example, during which the pitch is slowed down to almost chilling mode), are a surprisingly odd proposition next to what the BPitch Control roster got us accustomed to, and �Boogy Bytes Vol. 3� a refreshing reminder of what DJ mixes can do to otherwise disparate discoth�ques.
