Comment:
It was the Saturday night between my birthday and Halloween, and I was spinning a spooky set in his living room for an intimate crowd of 40 or so. The walls were covered with horror posters, original artwork, and a whole lot of fake blood (much of it smeared on the walls by our ghoulish guests). The Chinese lanterns were converted into giant jack-o'-lanterns, and the zombie punch billowed a dry-ice fog in the kitchen. This 80-minute live turntable set captures that moment on CD. The set bounces from funk to electro, from new wave to industrial - sure to please any Tomas Diablo fan or fellow creature of the night.Looking back on it now, it amazes me that I could have pulled it together so well. I hadn't BPMed any of my records yet, so most of the set was conceived by pulling out any spooky records I could find from my collection, and working through those. I also made an effort to extend the crossovers for as long as I could, which works amazingly well in parts of the set. The crossover from "Lightning Man" to "House of God" is over 2 minutes, and the blasphemous Laura Branigan/Siouxsie mix takes almost as long to evolve.
It wasn’t until I put the set down on CD that I realized how much of a God vs. el Diablo theme it had. Most of the tracks deal with Catholic spookiness. Right off the bat, I mixed two Devil songs together. The original "Tubular Bells" was the theme to The Exorcist, and the 7th track is named "The Exorcist". "Ave Maria" is pretty obvious, as are "House of God", "Kooler than Jesus", and the evangelical mix of "Headhunter".
