Happy End of You
So what happens when one DJ (in this case Pizzicato Five's Konishi Yasuharu) sets out to honor the craft of his fellow DJs? His fellow DJs then turn around and return the favor.Remixes: Happy End of Youis a collection of interpretations of P5'sHappy End of the Worldas concocted by such visionaries as St. Etienne, Dimitri from Paris, 808 State, Gus Gus, and more. 808 State lead "Trailer Music" through some industrial drum and bass maneuvers; Gus Gus take the eerie, sprawling, and hypnotic "Porno 3003" and turn it into a subterranean earthquake; and Dimitri from Paris's treatment of "Contact" spins like an all-night retro beat party, calling on disco, hi-NRG, house, and techno-pop to rework the cut into a celebration of the dance decades. The Automator, DJ Dara, Oval, and John Oswald also manipulate Konishi on this collection.--Steve Gdula
