MusicFirst LookStream Mike Skinner's ravey Bugged Out mixThe Streets’ frontman previews his appearance at the weekender with a mix spanning the past, present and future of danceShareLink copied ✔️November 28, 2014MusicFirst LookTextDaisy Jones Long gone are the days when Mike Skinner was leaning back on his chair “in a greasy spoon cafeteria”, swaggering through the early noughties with the every-bloke poetry, garage-style beats and lo-fi production of The Streets. Five acclaimed albums later and The Streets are no more, leaving Skinner time to resurrect his DJ career with Manchester-based collective Murkage, who have already started TONGA, a club night he describes as, “a bass night rather than a mass skunk-smelling chin stroke.” As the collective prepare for a huge set at Bugged Out Weekender in January, Skinner offers a sneak peek of what to expect a this Dazed mix – an enticing mish-mash of Rinse FM-style flavours of grime, bashment, jungle, garage, as well as, most prominently, the mid-nineties rave textures that Skinner has been vocal in his love for. As he said 12 years ago in “Weak Become Heroes”: “This tune reminds me of my first E / Unique, Sixteen and feeling horny.” Sign us up. Bugged Out Weekender is Jan 17 -19, Butlins Bognor Regis.
