Unlike blogs usually, I start with stating an obvious. The Twelves are remarkable! They have a technical ability and rhytmic tightness unique in their branch of dj:ing. They prove us wrong in the statement that you have to make compromises because you're playing pop songs on your dj-set. They have a great heap of good pop songs mixed and remixed to a heap of excitement and sense of living. This actual playlist was posted to Big Stereo half a year ago but I found it just now and love every second of it. I can admit that I'm a newbie to this blog world and can't keep up but for a part of you who haven't heard this pearl I can say you're in for a treat.
The tracklisting has some old hits which you thougt could never fit in this mixtape but surprisingly everything just slides in the groove of things.
There's Groove Armada – Drop The Tough (The Twelves Remix)
Daft Punk – Da Funk
The Do – On My Shoulders
Zoot Woman – Information First
Snoop Doggy Dogg – Sensual Seduction
etc...
This just works!

For a peek on what they do live take a look on their remake on M.I.A's Boyz which is ancient but great
