Tonight, I came across a hot mix (by way of EZRAKH) that had Mid-West juke, ghettotech, booty electro, and tech house as its centerpieces. While I attempted to sit still while listening in order to focus on some writing, I couldn’t help but start bouncing off the walls. The breaking point? The track “It’s Time for the Percolator.”
The song itself is one of the grandfathers of booty electro, its matching dance coming from another grandfather: the Charleston. Here’s a youtube take on variations of the Charleston matched with the track at hand:
Here’s the modern take:
The song title and my jumpiness reminded me of the obvious. I know that so many of us drink Red Bull or some other energy drink with alcohol, but the more sophisticated answer is obviously mixing alcohol with Red Bull’s darker, older sibling: coffee. With that said, enjoy this amazing mix and a little mix on tap involving the substance that keeps me alive in the morning. May it also wake up your nights.
