Holy Ghost! in the DJ booth at SXSWIt's been two years since the Brooklyn-based DJ duo, Holy Ghost!, have released any new material. Their 2007 jam, Hold On, was a major success and their latest release, I Will Come Back, is sure to follow suit.
As the title suggests, they Do come back. And this time with a video! I tracked it down at work today and really enjoyed it. It's hard to believe they made the video in July of 2009. It possesses a certain grittiness that really gives us a glimpse into what, I imagine, was the overall style and charisma of the Manhattan club scene, circa 1984.
When I started watching it, I was a bit unsure with what the theme was and where it was going. There are a lot of things going on - break dancing, pizza making, a recording session with legendary hip-hop producer Arthur Baker. But, around the 2:42-2:43 mark it Allll comes together and you definitely wish you could be a part of that party.
You be the judge..
I also wanted to include this segment of Nick and Alex at their home studio in Brooklyn. It sheds some light on some of their production secrets and how they are able to form such a distinctive, dope ass sound. Have a look and be sure to pick up the track from the July '09 mixtape if you haven't already..
