Having remixed tracks for bands as varied as Korn, the Beastie Boys, and Pitchshifter, Brooklyn's DeeJay Punk-Roc drop-kicks club music into the new millennium on his debut, ChickenEye. Drawing from old-school beats and hip-hop style, ChickenEye ignites an explosion of diverse textures where the big beats come straight from the heart. What stands out here is Punk-Roc's playfully warped sense of humor. The tantrum of a spoiled child looping through "I Hate Everybody" gets layered between James Brown sound bites and dialogue from '60s youth-culture films. The staccato dance groove of "All You Ladies" has the commercial viability of Daft Punk's "Around the World." "No Meaning" mixes scratching with sampled jazz-lounge piano, producing something like Grandmaster Flash meets Combustible Edison, and "Far Out" announces "hardcore beat-box action" over a frenetic urban rap infused with electronic dance beats. DeeJay Punk-Roc clearly had a great time making ChickenEye, and the proof is in the playing. --Gail Worley
