CD Review: DJ Alibi, One Day
Aug 21, 2007 7:34 PM Max Herman (Writer)
Like the city he calls home, Russian-raised Torontoan DJ Alibi produces an appetizing global stew of culture with his debut, One Day. On the outstanding banger "Guns of Kabul," Alibi curiously combines trigger-happy M.O.P. and Lord Finesse vocal samples with an invigorating Middle Eastern melody and robust drums. When not making political statements using only his hands, this sample junkie cooks up jazzy, Latin-inspired beats ("Samba Internacional") and funky hip-hop ("Round and Round" with Giant Panda) with equally agreeable results. At only 21, this kid is sure off on the right foot.
