BIRDY FULL ALBUM 2012 PROFESSIONAL
Going back to the very beginning, you met your fellow group members through Scratch Action Hero.Critical reception Professional ratings Aggregate scoresīirdy received lukewarm reception from critics. Producer Lil Mike spoke to us ahead of their Wednesday 23 show at MAO Livehouse. Even if their priorities have shifted toward getting people dancing (nothing to be sneered at), these are still some of the most skilled performers you will see coming through Shanghai this year (and they’re promising plenty of scratching for the purists). Their chance meeting with Skrillex in 2012 was a turning point, and the collab single ‘Goin’ In’ naturally has more YouTube views than their early turntablism theatrics. It’s remarkable to hear as well as watch, and the group’s exploits in the early ‘00s earnt them a core following of scratch-heads.īut times change, and over the years the group have shifted from pure turntablism to a more dancefloor-orientated sound. The French group won the 2002 DMC World Team championships, and the YouTube video for their early hit ‘Abbesses’ showcases the live skills that mesmerised audiences and judges alike – each of the four records is manipulated by its DJ to create totally new rhythms, and each turntable adds a layer to the overall piece. Whilst certain dance music today might make it tempting to claim you don’t need talent to be a DJ, those who think that is the case obviously haven’t seen Birdy Nam Nam.
