Dynamic dance act, Mind Electric, has injected new life into the classic club crossover tune 'Dirty Cash' making it a slamming dance track with a killer pop edge.
DJ K Jackson is the brains and brawn behind Mind Electric, the latest signing to leading home-grown dance label Vicious (Dirty South, Vandalism, mrTimothy, Sgt Slick, Rogue Traders, Cabin Crew, Madison Avenue). Discovered by the label's directors John Course and Andy Van (Vandalism, Madison Avenue), Jackson recently returned to Western Australia from three years DJing throughout Europe, where his ability to move a dancefloor saw him rock clubs in Sweden and Germany; including the infamous 'Reeperbahn' in the Hamburg's red-light District. While house and electro are Jackson's trademark styles, he is notorious for skilfully mixing a variety of genres in his live sets to great effect.
In addition to his international DJing exploits, Jackson has years of experience playing the drums and keyboard, as well as 13 years of composing and producing for short films, television and radio commercials, and remixing local rock bands. Heavily influenced by music throughout his life, his latest dancefloor production under the moniker Mind Electric is destined to gain him widespread attention, not to mention chart/radio space.
Mind Electric's Dirty Cash debut on Vicious is a cool bassline-driven revamp of the 1989 Stevie V club classic. In Jackson's own words "I loved the original, but this version brings it up to date with current sounds". Dirty Cash still has the soulful techno element of the original, but is setting current dance floors alight with fresh strings, basslines, keys and FX. Perth soul jazz chanteuse, Fantine M Pritoula lays down the striking vocals on this new version.
Mind Electric's debut single Dirty Cash was released on the 22nd May by Vicious Grooves and includes the Original, Dub, Alternative Mix and a superb remix from Dirty South.
In further news, Mark Doyle, the man behind household brand 'Hed Kandi' has included Dirty Cash in his new compilation 'Tokyo Disco' which is sold in CD stores around the Globe.
MINd Electric will be doing a guestspot at The Prince of Wale's Onelove in Melbourne on June 10th where he'll be playing alongside MARK DYNAMIX
