Reverend D, Brussels, BELGIUM Funk, Hip Hop, Break, Swing. Coming from the french Techno scene, Reverend D. went to Belgium in 2008 and began to dive more and more in Funk and Jazz crates as soon as he met the Pipolass Crew in Brussels. Radio militant for 10 years, he’s the creator of Tales From The Crate radio show with DJ Odilon and F.abot, an experience which allowed him to know some of the most important DJ’s in the world, a pretty crazy education for this quiet but enthusiast DJ.

Behind the decks, Reverend D. is always trying to mix oldies to his Hip Hop and Breaks influences, building some cinematic atmosphere, quality selections and unusual grooves.

If you decide to check and follow Reverend D. on his you will realize that I used 2 mixes he did to create a longer one. The 1st mix is called “Smell Like MILF Spirit – Swing Edition” and then at around 45′ you’ll ear the “Smell Like MILF Spirit” more Funk oriented. I’m sure you’ll love these 2 sets as I did.

What is Electro Swing for you ?

For me it’s a way to go back to the oldies – the Jazz geniuses I love from Dizzy to Count Basie – and make a dancefloor move (again) with. As a DJ, the pleasure (and the challenge) is coming when you try to travel between different beats, influences or breaks, which is fully possible with Electro Swing, somewhere between Hip Hop, Jazz and Electro.

Anybody who already heard me playing knows that I’ll always try to mix different kind of music and put some old stuffs as soon as I can on my sets, I mean why should I play a shitty remix of Benny Goodman’s « Sing Sing Sing » when I can play the original track and make people crazy with it ?
