Danny Krivit : '718 Sessions'
Released: Out Now!!!
Label: Nervous Records
Do you own a bar? Is it ever so slightly pretentious? Open from 6pm and dead for the first three hours every Saturday night? Need to save money on a Dj? Buy this Danny Krivit offering, put it on repeat and Bob is your mother's lover.
718 Sessions is a mix of 'classic' tunes Danny plays at his NYC club night. There are some names you will have heard before, not least Jazzy Jeff. Unfortunately there's no summertime imaginings and certainly no room shaking magic. That's right Danny is an American. He plays house music. The bland sort, the not much cop sort. He's been Djing for years, probably before I was born and is a bit of an American legend. But then so are burgers and terrorism and no one's saying they're a sensible lifestyle choice.
On the plus side you're not going to offend anyone with it. At a family party, for instance, your gran will probably manage the shoulder bob and say “Ooh this is funky isn't it dear.” Your mum may get her circular arm movements out, dad will do the jazz head bob. And the dog … well he'll go all out and chase his tail to the beat like he's the energizer bunny on speed, but doesn't he do that to everything, it's the only dance move he knows.
Anyway this is all academic because, let's face it, when's the last time you thought 'if only I had a universal album which would defy generation gaps with its bland inclusivity?' Unless you're a wedding DJ with a name like Dave Discs, I'm guessing never.
Interesting fact re Danny: he has a vinyl collection of over 80,000 records. Greedy or compulsive, you decide.
