JM#080 – Vinny Villbass

For his return visit to the Jæger mix, Vinny Villbass keeps things upbeat and optimistic with a mix that combines the charm of vocals with the primordial rhythms of House music. There’s always a bounce in Villbass’ step and this mix is no different, non-conformist and setting the tone rather than placating to it. Vinny Villbass leaves this mix up to chance, but clearly finds something of a world theme as contrapuntal rhythms, pitched percussion and repetitive chants make regular appearances around receptive House beats. The Sunkissed and Badabing resident locks on to a groove early on and wavers little from the pace, cutting a direct line from those first tentative steps on the dance floor to peak time. Sticky acid bass-lines and effervescent pads keep the mix melodic and buoyant with Vinny Villbass coaxing everything he possibly can from each track before he moves on to the next. It’s a restless mix that never quite settles and in the footfood traditions of the DJ, they symptoms can give you itchy feet.
