Nice... Real Nice.

Midnight Sushi Club 03 - Sweak!

Sweak - Derived from the words ‘sweet’ and ‘weak’, used to describe the action of something good turning bad in a short space of time.

“Starts positive ends negative”.

Example; Your at a house party, you find your can of beer after misplacing it, you go for a celebratory swig, only to find someone’s fag butt in the bottom. ‘Sweak!’

Other common uses; ‘the Sweakness’, ‘Sweak-out’, ‘lets get Sweaky’.

Another month another mix, the second selection from Real Neil for the sweet guys at Volume. The only thing Sweak about this selection is the title.

14. & 15. The first of two Hip Hop tracks I used to listen to this track on my disc-man on the way to secondary school. Simplicity’s the key I think. I am still listening to them. The Disc-man’s gone though.

16. Diplo and the Mad Decent boys seem to be on a comedic tip this month. Here’s Gucci! I could have chosen any of the tracks from the ‘Free Gucci (Best of Cold war mix tapes) Ep. I just like the sincerity of his sentiments on this one.

19. Elephant Man Hollering his version of ‘Halo’ at the top of his voice. What’s there not to like.

20. Got to big up my Brother for this one and Jazzsteppa who first let it loose at full volume. The only way it can properly be appreciated really. Apparently it mixes itself.
