| Hervé aka the Count Essential Mix Posted: 23 Feb 2009 07:23 PM PST Hervé, also known as the Count, Voodoo Chilli, Action Man, Dead Soul Brothers, Speaker Junk and Young Lovers, drops his hard-hitting Essential Mix for Radio 1 this week in a barrage of non-stop ghetto electro madness. With a Lily Allen remix recently under his belt and a collaboration with DJ Sneak forthcoming on Cr2 Records, the label boss of Cheap Thrills Records tears up the airwaves with a searing blend of garage electro noise, bass-heavy club hits and a dash of nearly every other subgenre thrown in for good measure. |
