Killahurtz - West On 27th (A Tribe Called KHz Mix) = Best track of 2000?

this guy is going ham about it

wow this channel has a danny t interview talking about twilo and other things, pretty cool

He's got to be listing to something else than we hear

Christ, this guy is cringe. The algorithm has sent him my way a few times now, and his videos are all the same: maximum fanboy gush, minimum insight.

I've always found West On 27th to be slightly over-played. Whenever it crops up on a vintage set my reaction is more "Oh great, this tune again" than anything else. I even managed to hear it twice in the space of a single night once at Cream. Oh great. This tune again. How this bozo claims he's not familiar with it, I do not know.

This entire video is unnecessary

What can I say? I didn't know people were reacting to cutting edge dance music on YT

The tune is 22 years old, Matt. It's about as cutting edge as a trebuchet.

It's definitely been over-played to death. I have a hard time enjoying it anymore.

A certain DJ should have shown up earlier at Cream to hear what the openers played.

I don't have a firm grasp of the english language.

As long as one mixes out of it again before the whistle theme begins...

사람사전

Believe it or not I don't even understand my mother tongue that well either

My knowledge of things S Korean derives mostly from Yummyboy channel on Youtube.

I wonder what it is like to be able to use a name like that with not a single qualm in sight.

As an addendum to my earlier post, I would like to say I've only recently realised what an absolute monster the original, much-less played Subway Mix of this tune is. This on a big system must sound like a percussive freight train hurtling straight for your serotonin glands:

You can hear/see it here in this boiler room (around 38 mins). Have to give this guy his due on mixing it in with basically a set of club oriented nu disco and did so quite seamlessly. Great looking club also with perfect lighting and patrons actually dancing.

nice, I've listened to that bozzi mix several times and never looked at the playlist, but it definitely sounded like an old tune

Nicely done by the guy. Tunes like this are a DJ's best friend: no breakdown, just a perfect momentum builder that stays interesting all the way through. Another one from the same era I still regularly play is Saints & Sinners - Pushin' Too Hard. Never going to be the peak of the set but great tunes to join the dots.

Uh... correct me if I'm wrong, but how is this set not just good ol' classic trance? Sure, the production is more modern, but I hear nothing disco about this.

Or is 'nu space disco' now another term we've given to DJs in denial about playing trance music?

The opening track is nu disco, imo. Feels very New Order / American Psycho. After that, though, yeah, this is a trance set lol

Fair enough if you think it's trance. I really have zero clue about what is Indie Nu Disco, Nu Disco, Dark Disco etc but I have seen on beatport (take it with a grain of salt) that a lot of the stuff played in the set is classified in those genres. Personally, I wouldn't call it trance but that's my interpretation. The only thing I know for sure is it's a far cry from West on 27th on a bunch of levels which was more my initial point.

It's trancey but it's not trance. What never really gets talked about on TA is that there's been a massive evolution of the cosmic disco /dark disco sub-genre in recent years to become the kind of quite epic material you can hear in that set. Some of the guys I DJ with in Manchester play this stuff heavily. Beatport still lumps a lot of it under the woefully inadequate "indie / nu disco" tag.

No dry spots whatsoever

Surely the combination of that hairdo and the tache would make any person go dry between the legs though

There's a sort-of progression between the 80s Italo disco, then HI-NRG, then early trance IMO....
