Toxic CD

The treasures you are about to dance to were selected with passion by Uncle O and DJ Solo (The REANIMATORS) to celebrate the third anniversary of their Toxic Nights they have been hosting since 2002 in Paris. The nights specialized in mixing up genres and people. Bottle-fed on hip hop culture, but with an interest in any other singular universe, Uncle O and DJ Solo have filled their flight bags with a unique mixture of funk (white and black), electro, rap and even new wave rock, ready to mount an onslaught on those sleepy Parisian nights. True to this spirit of openness, Toxic, the album, today contains elements of every style, era and country. The outline of an Internationale of rhythm is taking shape, taking in everything from the Spanish new wave of the late 70s (Esplandor Geometrico) to iconoclastic hip hop (Mike Ladd) to the eccentric electro (Dabrye) of today, not to mention a good number of mutant rarities (ESG II, Royal Family and the Poor, Maurice Starr). A desire to mark a break and discover things new which has prevailed from the early days of the Toxic Nights has seen them launch the careers of many artists such as Justice and Revlen. This compilation is a flavour of the Toxic sound, but this is just 80 minutes of music here, imagine an endless six hours set of a crazy "hardcorepunkfunkelectrohiphopnuwavesoul" jam. This is TOXIC, but you ain't heard nothing yet ! Welcome freaks, mutants, robots...
