Defected In The House Bali ’10 drops this week, so we asked DJ Greogry – who mixed the first CD on the compilation – to tell us a little more about the tracks that he included. Happily, he agreed!
Here’s what the French Maestro had to say about them, and we’ve also included a little promo mix so you can get a feeling for what the mix is all about…
Gregor Salto & Mokoomba 'Messe Messe' (Flow Dub)
Gregor came up with this dub after a session with an African band. I just don t know how he came up with that groove, but this is killer for me.
DJ Gregory & Sidney Samson featuring Dama s 'Dama s Salon' (Main Mix)
After my trip to Angola I started to work on the recordings I made while I was out there. Sidney really liked the vocal of Dama Salon, we jammed with it in Tony Cha Cha’s studio in Amsterdam. We both this collaboration.
