For Those WHo Don't Know About Holletronix :
There was something truly exciting about Hollertronix's Never Scared mix when it first emerged. It should've been a total no-brainer: of course I want to hear Southern rap and 80s synthpop and dancehall and Baltimore club all smashed up and thrown together and turned into ADD dance-party insanity. But the idea seemed almost transgressive way, way back in 2003, when indie-rock was trying to decide between snoozy cardigan-music and coked-up dancepunk and only a few nobly-intentioned but clumsy instigators (Gold Chains immediately springs to mind) were attempting to invite black pop music to the party.

Britpop dance-parties were dominating the indie-kid social network, and I was pretty deliriously happy to find out that anyone who would DJ at the Ottobar or wherever even knew who Trick Daddy was. And Never Scared was a pretty great DJ mix, fast and loose and well-mapped, its transitions and blends all close to impeccable. It was messy and slapdash, but it somehow came to represent an amorphous, omnivorous sort of musical worldview: there's a ton of fun shit out there to dance to, so let's find as much of it as possible. Slowly enough, the spazzed-up Hollertronix aesthetic won and now we've got a million club nights dedicated to Southern rap and baile funk and whatever, and companies looking to tap into hip young demographics started sponsoring the fuck out of it
