Shake & Pop

Green Velvet

By DAVE SEGAL

Published on June 18, 2008 at 2:40am

Celebrating Focus OC's fifth anniversary, Chicago's Green Velvet (Curtis Jones) brings his legendary crates of house-music wax and freaky, born-again/hedonism-hating morality to Newport Beach. For months, Green Velvet's been whipping hipsters into a froth with "Shake & Pop," a quirky trinket of electro-house whose cheap, bleepy motif makes Depeche Mode sound like Kraftwerk-it's cute, but it gets annoying after the 97th hearing. The producer/DJ has many other tracks with more staying power, as well as his own labels (Cajual and Relief) from which to select loads of classics. OC rarely gets dance-music talent of Mr. Velvet's lofty caliber, so don't sleep on this.
