ZILLA & Buddy Peace: A Friendly Game Of Chess Mix
*Installment #2 in a mini-series of ZILLA mixes*
A Friendly Game Of Chess was the opening mix salvo from the dastardly bewildered beat hedz duo, better known as ZILLA and Buddy Peace. Released back in 2003 in an ?under the counter? fashion on a small pressing, for the lucky few who could scrounge a copy, this was their introduction proper to the mad-hat mixing skills of ZILLA and Buddy, outside of notable DJ spells around London at nights such as ?Red Alert? and ?Wheels Instead Of Hooves?. A twisted grab bag of soundscapes and seriously lo-fi hip hop/indie rock, AFGOC treads a lazy drunken path through ambient effects, religious pontifications and some good old scratch-nological business thrown in for good measure. The mix rolls through ?phazes?, effectively meaning that the pair take turns at the boards to mess heads up. Could it be the blueprint for a new generation of tired DJs to diversify their sets beyond over-played hip hop and ?fr-fr-fresh? scratch routines? Have a listen, open your mind, and discover what being a bewildered beat hed is all about. Tracklist after the jump.
