La Haine & DJ Dexter, extending your senses
I had the fortune to attend a wonderful cinematic experience yesterday. Melbourne Music Festival and acmi had a screening of the classic french masterpiece 'La Haine (The Hate)' accompanied with live mixing by one of Australia's top DJ's, DJ Dexter. Mixing over the movie's soundtrack, DJ Dexter brought La Haine to new life, extending the viewers experience from 'the past' to 'the now', and maybe from 2D to 3D. Because there is something interesting lying beneath the just now and then intertextuality with DJ Dexter standing (mostly sitting down) in-front of you, adding another dimension to the actual viewing experience. Even if DJ Dexter's seamless scratching and mixing didn't stop you from watching the film you, I at least, found myself looking over to him to see what he was up to. For brief seconds you would 'jump' out from the world of La Haine, find yourself in a room with a dj performing magic with his turntables with a screen playing something in the background, almost like the visuals became secondary. The reason why this is so interesting is that it creates an experience you are not used to. We shouldn't accept mediums or the content as they are because then they will just be that, mediums and content. Sometimes it's good to break the boundaries for how you consume media to fully understand how great film and music might be. ... A bit like a band performing live on a tram.
At The Metro on Saturday, DJ Dexter dropped this brass cover of Sabbath's Electric Funeral and it went OFF
Dj Dexter & Jammin - Like It Like Dat
these two have the sexiest voices. I can't even.
An entire album to fall asleep to. And also one of the alltime best albums ever made. If you haven't listened to this album a hundred times, you've missed out on some beautiful things.
