Boogy Bytes 2 Sascha Funke

The original gangsta, Sascha Funke, pops the glock for Boogy Bytes Vol. 02, the second in BPitch's new immaculate mix series. Funke has been around the block more than once, with releases on Kompakt and BPitch and remixes spanning from Telepopmusik on Capitol to the très chic Crosstown Rebels. So you know his selection is off the hook and his mixing skills are off the chain. So what do we have here? How about undaground stunna Sleeparchive back to back with the mighty Derrick Carter? How about man of the hour Trentemoller into DJ Koze's genius pop project International Pony? Or, I mean, Villalobos remixed by Isolée? Done done and done. Funke has an ear for melody and a tongue for tart beats and it is no more evident than on this lovely mix. The dancefloor is just the beginning for Mr. Funke, the first chapter of a night that does not end until sunrise on the rooftop. For this, we have the special treat of Phantom Ghost (whose Mayer/Thomas remix is an all-timer) with "These Days" -- a brilliant cover of the Jackson Browne classic. Thanks Sascha. Thanks.
