Mike 2600′s “Ready To Rock” is Crossfaded Bacon’s newest release that ventures deep into the forgotten history of Hip-Hop and Dance Music production with another diverse showcase of driving dancefloor monsters. In a world currently dominated by stylistic cliches and here-today-gone-tomorrow aesthetic trends, “”Ready To Rock”" is a soulful, timeless release that ignores formulaic fads and instead focuses on the meat-and-potatoes of what makes great Dance music: drums, rhythm, and “”the groove.”" Uniquely, Mike 2600 chose a much different focus for his inspiration than one might expect from a CFB relase: “”Ready To Rock”" is very clearly inspired by the innovative cut & paste mixes of Double Dee & Steinski, the Disco Rap aesthetic embodied by labels like West End and Enjoy Records, the spaced-out disco sounds of Cloud One, and even the raw sounds of ’60s garage and psych rock. While Mike 2600 is already a well known figure amongst some of the world’s biggest DJs (organizing the annual DO IT TO IT party at SXSW and helps compile the accompanying vinyl EP featuring remixes from DJs like Tittsworth, Dave Nada from Nadastrom, Crossfaded Bacon’s Emynd, and Bird Peterson) this is his first official solo release. Accompanied by exclusive remixes from Emynd and Scott Matelic, Crossfaded Bacon is extremely proud to introduce Mike 2600 to the rest of the world with another CFB release that will sound fresh whether played today, tomorrow, next year, or next decade.
