Name: Evil Nine
Genre: Dance
Day: Friday

Wikipedia sez: “Tom Beaufoy and Pat Pardy first combined skills as Evil Nine in 1998 and were quickly recognised as a quality DJ/Producer duo by Adam Freeland who signed them to his label. Their punk rock, DIY attitude, epitomised by their remix of Ils’ “Music”, stirred up the breaks scene. Their love of innovation and ability to tweak the breaks format, injecting punk, house and their own raw vibe into the mix, is rapidly establishing them as the new golden boys as they forge a fresh path.”

Jeez, doesn’t the above read just like a press release?? I don’t mind Adam Freeland, and I can see why he brought on Evil Nine - they sound so similar. Simple breaks with electronic piano and the odd sample thrown in for good measure too. They have done a few tracks with rappers including Aesop Rock, but I can’t say I like what I hear by any means.

Likelyhood of Seeing at Coachella: Nah.
