Exclusive Stream/Q+A: Doctor Delay’s Eastern Block Party
- story THE FADER
Over here at FADER it’s been established that we’re a bunch of long hairs (mostly in spirit) who spend our days listening to Outkast behind beaded curtains, or lay on straw mats while jamming The Tough Alliance. Some days we also just listen to Animal Collective bootlegs all day. What we’re saying is we like a lot of stuff, so Dr. Delay’s mixes are generally right up our alley, especially when our alley has lately been Mixes Of Music We Have Never Heard And Won’t Ever See In A Store. We’re curious! Delay’s new CD mixes bar rock from Communist era Eastern Europe with underutilized ’80s rap acapellas (and also Bonecrusher), and it’s real heady and swirly and puts us in a slouchy, sweaty mood—in a good way. The mix is out soon, and you can purchase it here or at Turntable Lab in the coming weeks. Can’t wait? Stream the entire mix below, and while you’re doing it read our Q+A with Delay about Eastern Block Party, Polish rock finds in Greenpoint, and his love of the oft-misconstrued psych genre.
