T4T LUV NRG is about to rock your stereo this spring with a sequel to
the label’s first release “Raving Disco Breaks Vol. I” (2018). Eris Drew
wanted to create a new sound for the second volume of her acclaimed
mixtape series instead of simply retracing the pure disco vibes of the
original. Setting her sights and intentions on creating a rock ‘n’ roll
infected house mix, Eris worked on building crates for the last five
years, finally reaching an inflection point—a moment of
concrescence—when she was ready to put the needle on the records and let
the beats flow. “Rock The House” was born, a concept for Volume II
built from musical fragments, memories, and synchronicities. There are
no classic Big Beat tunes on Volume II, instead Eris kicks out the jams
for this mix with non-stop house and breaks cuts featuring plenty of
rockin’ vocal vamps, as well as the likes of Janis Jopin, Joe Strummer,
Ramones, and Led Zeppelin—all sampled, scratched and dropped along the
way. Both sides of the mix include some of her most personally coveted
recordings. To gather these records, Eris spent decades identifying
tracks from older mix cassettes recorded by her DJ heroes, such as Terry
Mullan and Mystic Bill, as
well
as discovering many of the featured tracks through happenstance and
countless hours digging through dusty bins and YouTube rips. Each of the
tracks on Volume II are at least 20 years old—some much older—but fresh
is the word here, and the word is freeeesh!
Now, as the snow melts and the flowers of rave romance start to bloom, T4T wants to know one thing…Are U ready to rock right?
Tracklist:
1. Side A: Ready 2 Rock Right?
2. Side B: 2 A Nation Rockin' (Legends Of Rock)
