MikeQ & DJ Sliink - Mind To Mind

  • Share
  • Fade To Mind's Mind To Mind is a series of EPs from that encourages "unprecedented collaborations." It begins with a dream-team collision between two of New Jersey's most exciting young producers. On one side of the arena is ballroom prodigy MikeQ, and in the other corner sits DJ Sliink, arguably Jersey club's most visible ambassador. These tracks actually date back to 2012, but their age doesn't diminish their power or how idiosyncratic their fusion of local dance dialects still sounds. "The Bitch," complete with a snarky vocal from Miss Jay, hits harsh and fast like the crack of a whip. A gelatinous synth wriggles back and forth along with it, offering a looser counterpart to the track's otherwise tightly-wound design. Once the chopped-and-diced vocal really gets going, it has all the fevered intensity of a ballroom dance competition. On the other side, "Werk'd" is stripped-down and deadly, with Sliink's trademark vocal stutters and lustrous synths that flash in the dark. The track occasionally breaks its composure for a brief drum workout, a natural overflow of giddy energy that's as charged and inspired as the EP overall.
