DJ Joe Bermudez
Nervous Nitelife Presents Mass Movement
Nervous, Inc.
It's no wonder that Boston's DJ Joe Bermudez has earned himself an hour mix-show every Friday night on XM Satellite radio. His Mass Movement selections indicate a taste perfectly suited to the radio provider's programming: accessible, confectionary vocal dance for most us, but unfamiliar, boundary-pushing music for those who think Ibiza is a brand of Herpes medication, a rare bird, or a famous leaning tower. With this Nervous disc, Bermudez offers VIP treatment to those who flout pretense in favor of good-time party jams: "Wouldn't Change a Thing" (Jose Amnesia feat. Jennifer Rene), "Carry Me Away" (Chris Lake feat. Emma Hewitt) and Bermudez' surprisingly evocative remix of Hilary Duff's "With Love" are a few of the fruity sonic cocktails served up. As appropriate for a set like this, Bermudez' mixing is refreshingly straightforward, clean and crisp. His goal, it seems, is not to reinvent the wheel; it's to slap on a new set of rims, giving a tired ride a new, shiny, more polished lease on life. Hailing from a city that ends its public transportation at 2am, Bermudez' Mass Movement is a joyful party train that will have clubbers riding the caboose of their choice all night long.
