As I mentioned in an earlier post, Brennan Green is rocking Sydney this Mardi Gras weekend. Unfortunately, I wont be going – so for those who can’t make it, or are unsure about his style, here’s a couple of mixes to boogie on down to thanks to the guys over at Beats In Space.

Mix one & mix two.

Electro this, electro that. The latest Ministry of Sound CD even proclaims it’s electro. Seriously guys, you should realise why the label is oft termed the “Ministry of the unprofound”. The ‘faux’ electro sound is driving the bandwagon and all the General Pants kids are getting on! Anyhow, here’s a 63 minute excursion into the real sound of electro with a few other relevant flavours thrown in – in fact it’s my mix of the week.
