Following on from David Holmes mix on 13 Amp 2 years ago, we now have Twisted Nerve's fave DJ Gareth 'Cherrystones' Goddard giving us a fine insight into the grooves that make his parties swing. This mix along with David's own, and last years soulsavers mixes avoids all modern mix styles & sounds, and revisits some long lost 7" nuggets that us normal punters would never have access to, for this we should be grateful.
Well I certainly am.
Cherrystones mix is not a showcase for scratching/cut-n-paste skillz at all, instead this is a straight run through the personally selected tracks, so we get the pumped up thrills of Marsha Hunt, the funky 60's piano riffs and even a Cher track! Something I never expected to have in my collection. So once again 13 Amp have a sure fire winner on their cards, lets hope that this gets its well deserved audience. In other words, if you want a selection of funky 60's garage rock, soul blasters, and vibed up rawness then this should be top of your want list.
F*ck KFC-sanctioned soul compilations and grab this essential collection.
Superb stuff.
