Fcukers “Homie Don’t Shake”
“Homie Don’t Shake” pulls together a lot of musical signifiers from the “indie sleaze” and “blog house” era – DFA aesthetics, Yeah Yeah Yeahs brattiness and noise, dynamics that would get an army of 20somethings in American Apparel get ready for the floor – but really, anyone can just throw reference points together. The miracle of “Homie Don’t Shake” is that it’s so well built and executed that it’s as good or much better than its inspirations. This is an absolutely ruthless and relentless dance track, brutal and funky and flirty and dirty and weird. I’m curious if Fcukers can do better than this – I suspect they probably can, since I’m picking up a Basement Jaxx level of craft here.
