You know, sometimes you stumble across something you weren't even expecting. Today was such a day. I found this mix you might appreciate, if you are into quirky music. And when I say quirky, I do mean it. Have you ever been to the Netherlands? Have you ever been South of the rivers? Do you even know what that means? Have you ever experienced Carnaval before? If you haven't, well, 2021 won't have Carnaval, but certainly 2022 will, and if you can, make sure you start saving up money and book a hotel somewhere South, so preferably Limburg or Brabant. It is a few days of drinking and having fun. And the worst and cheesiest music ever. Want a taster?
This is the mix for you. It might sound a tad like a Freestyle mix, but it isn't. Carnaval is something only Southerners understand. But if the virus has bit you, and you have got deep pockets and love to dress quirky, you need to experience Carnaval, and literally not give a flying fuck about the music. As long as you are having fun. It's partying til the break of dawn. And the next day? We do it all over again!
So this mix, eh? It's made by Teka B. Never heard of Teka B, if I'm brutally honest. But their mix has sparked my interest, and it has made me miss my home province, Limburg. People in Limburg haven't got much to look out for, Carnaval is a major thing. And I've not experienced it for a few years now, so to hear this mix made me a tad happy, and made me feel young again.
Expect madness. Fucking madness. And don't take this too serious, ladies and gentlemen: take a pinch of salt.

Didn't I tell you this was quirky? It certainly is, and it has made me extremely happy. COVID has fucked everyone up, and with this Carnaval vs Tekstyle mix, it has certainly put a tremendous smile on my gob. A smile that you can see from miles away. And I am bouncing up and down in my living room. What a fantastic cheese fest!
I would literally listen to this throughout the year. During Carnaval, and whenever. This just makes you happy as hell. As bad as it might be. It's not the greatest music, it won't appear in the top 100 of best records ever made, but come on, this is true party music. With a few beers down your throat you will certainly enjoy it more.
I don't know how people in Limburg and Brabant celebrate Carnaval nowadays, I haven't been in the Netherlands during the Carnaval period for a few years now, but I'm guessing the main thing doesn't change: partying until you are literally out of it. And with Teka B's mix you will certainly feel the atmosphere coming through your speakers. As cheesy as this mix might be, and with a few 'small ' errors, I still highly enjoyed it.
Some records are just so bad, or so plainly worst than the original, but I don't know. I am kind of unbiased when it comes to this kind of music. Is it because I am a Limburger? Who knows. But I still dig this kind of quirkiness. More of this please.
Best record? Too many to mention. I am too wasted to actually make sense. So I'll end this review now, and you should start listening!
