DJ Wreckineyez catches wreck

In the cinematic epic The Player, Sydney Pollack’s Dick Mellon character identified new jack Larry Levi as a “comer,” someone who gets all in your face. That’s how I would describe DJ Wreckineyez. Dude just moved here from Springfield, Mass., but in the past two months, I’ve seen him everywhere, from Fadia Kader’s Broke N’ Boujee party to the DJ Drama blowout at MJQ.
Wreckineyez’s sets are usually marked by a lot of predictable old-school and mainstream hits speckled with a few rarities and jaw-dropping blends that keep cranky old fools like me interested. But on his new mixtape, Soul Edition Vol. 2, he goes a little deeper. Hosted by Phonte from Little Brother, it finds him flipping through future soul cuts from Oddisee, Ta’raach, Flying Lotus, Sa-Ra and others. Anything with Flying Lotus on it is fine with me. And yep, Nicolay & Kay’s “Tight Eyes” is on it, too. Good stuff.
