Glimmers’ Dance Floor Destroyers
Text by Jonty Skrufff (Skrufff.com)
Belgium mash-up duo The Glimmers chatted to Skrufff this week about their
upcoming mix CD for Fabric (Fabric Live 31- The Glimmers) and revealed that
15 years after teaming up, they still sometimes clear dance floors.
“It’s happened loads of times,” the pair confessed, “but itt wouldn’t have
happened if we hadn’t taken risks. Every time we’ve cleared a dance floor
it’s because we’ve tried to take the audience somewhere else. On some
occasions, the dance floor didn’t clear, instead the audience went crazy and
we could have taken them further and further. From time to time you have to
clear the dance floor and start all over again,” they added,
The new mix CD includes tracks from Roxy Music, the Human League and Freeez
(aka Arthur Baker) alongside LCD Soundsystem, Mekon and Prinz Thomas
reflecting the pair’s willingness to play anything, whether it’s Madonna or
even Kylie.
“It could happen. It all just depends from the crowd you’re playing for; you
do anything to get them moving,” they admitted.
“Both Madonna and Kylie had great tracks out and the reason why they’re
commercial is because so many people like them. It’s always nice to be able
to balance popular and unknown tracks and everything else in between and
using them as the right tools at the right time to suit you,” they said.
Fabriclive 31: The Glimmers is out soon.
