How cool must it be to be Joakim? The French producer/bandleader’s kitchen sink approach to music has made his albums increasingly difficult to classify, leaving his fans braced for whatever curve he might happen to throw at them next. A curve such as this mix, perhaps. No need to worry, the requisite dirty disco abounds (see Red Dragon Band’s excellent Italo jam “Let Me Be Your Radio” or Joakim’s own “Watermellon Bubblicious”). But mixing a Beatles outtake with Chicago Juke king DJ Deeon? The sludge fuzz double header of The Goslings and Acid Mothers Temple? A Rolling Stones track that isn’t “Miss You?” Clearly Joakim isn’t messing around. For a picture of where his head is at musically right now, this mix is an excellent primer. Milky Ways will be out September 15th on !K7.
