Wolf Diesel Mountain

about this album

Buddy Peace has been championing a slow-burning revolution in mixtapes for over five years now. His pedigree is unchallenged - A Friendly Game of Chess (with fellow 2600 accomplice ZILLA), Watch and Repeat Play for the Warp Vision DVD and last years' The Commonwealth Kids Mix with Bully Records ' Carlo - pushing the boundaries and expectations of what a mix could be. Wolf Diesel Mountain is a monster fed on the bones of all that have gone before it. This is a mix that is complex and diverse - slices and selections of nearly 100 tracks in under an hour. Samples are chopped, beats are re-programmed and tracks are fully remixed - without ever falling into the common trap of mixes that veer off on tangents to show off the DJ's record collection. Not that Buddy hasn't got a collection worth losing limbs for - but the genius here lies in the construction. This is a mix of broken hearts and block parties, unfaithful guitars and dusty drums. There is a journey here, a narrative of disparate elements combined, like the best indie film you never saw. But like every good mix it still bumps, leaving your spine aching and your head bristling with hopes of redemption.
