HYPETRAK 不久前才推出了 Ta-ku 製作的獨特風格的混音歌單 Drive Slow, Homie》。緊接著，在洛杉磯的 DJ KITTENS 又特別為 HYPETRAK 製作了另外一張柔滑性感的歌單《For(e)play》。這歌單名本身就很形象的體現了選曲的起伏風格，開頭既包括了大家熟悉的 Omarion, Drake 的音樂，又有迅速走紅的法國新秀 STWO 的歌曲，中段則是 KITTENS 非常心儀的老派嘻哈樂，歌單的最後部份則是以強勁的 gLAdiator, J.U.D., 和 Busta Rhymes的歌曲收尾。以下貼出對 KITTENS 的採訪，同時你也可以在這裡收聽《For(e)play》的全部歌曲。
Who are you?
A mildy shy chick from LA who loves cats, hip-hop, cake, and playing good tunes for people that like good music.How did you approach this mix?
Making a mix for me is a totally different game than playing out for people live. There’s no one in a room that you need to make dance. No promoters yelling at you to play specific stuff. No ones energy to really vibe off of. So it’s an opportunity to be open and vulnerable and really share something a bit more personal for me.I wanted to call it “Foreplay” because I feel like it has a kind of sexual progression to it. Starting out with sensual vibes, then stripping down to show who you really are (for me, my roots are in proper old school hip hop), then things just get a bit more intense after to say the least. That might sound blunt but whatever lol. Hopefully it makes sense when you listen.
What are the most-played songs on your personal playlist right now?
Omarion – Say Don’t Go
Future – Karate Chop
Quasimoto – Fatbacks
STWO – You (ft. Sanna Hartfield)
Dwele – Hold On
Gang Starr – WorkFavorite place to DJ in the world?
Any room that’s got eager listeners. Whether it’s one person or 5000, as long as they get it and are down, then I’m down.DJs don’t deserve enough credit because…
DJ’s that are bringing something different to the table(s) with their selections or skills deserve way more credit. The ones that share the exact same playlist as every other commercial club DJ, don’t know what they’re doing, and don’t respect the music realllllly bum me out.
