Classic Album Review: DJ Me DJ You | Simplemachinerock

Welcome to the jungle, baby, they got fun and games.

This came out in 1999 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):

 


Nothing in L.A. is as it seems. Hollywood Boulevard is full of sleaze, the palm trees are full of rats and the starlets are full of silicone.

Stumbling out of Spaceland with a studio tan and blinking like two bind mice in the plastic sunshine, remixmaster duo DJ Me DJ You — aka Craig Borrell and Ross Harris — compress all of Tinseltown’s avarice, artifice and bad acting into ’60s acid-trip electronica sprinkled with plenty of B-movie dialogue and arrangements, sound effects record snippets and enough sitars to score the Bollywood remake of a Russ Meyer movie. Welcome to the jungle, baby, they got fun and games. And all they wanna do is have some fun, until the sun comes up over Santa Monica Boulevard. Simplysuperb.
