Let's Get Killed  by David Holmes

The Northern Irish DJ, composer, and producer found himself in New York in the mid-1980s at the age of about twenty, where he lived for quite some time. There, he had the idea to record various dialogues and speeches of random people on the streets of New York on a tape recorder. He kept all these recordings for years.

In 1997, he was inspired to write dance music and incorporate some of these speeches either at the beginning of each composition or intermittently. These conversations were with prostitutes, "drug runners," pimps, and any other type of person who spent their life out on the streets of the American metropolis. This is how Let's Get Killed was created.

Initially, David Holmes thought the result was trash, but it turned out that he had created an extremely interesting album, which, from a musical perspective, was situated between electronica, trip-hop, and alternative dance music. In Great Britain, it reached No. 34.
