When founding member Johnny Dark left Canada's Junior Boys, he seemed to take the electronic act's original, grime-meets-Timbaland aesthetic with him. But even die-hard fans of the Boys' debut have to concede: different or not, their first DJ mix is pretty much unassailable. Like a blueprint for modern electronic music, Body Language Vol. 6 meshes everything from Matthew Dear microhouse to Visage's New Romantic-swooning and the avant-disco of Kelley Polar. And while the songs retain a certain futurism, they also nestle comfortably alongside the group's 2006 house-pop triumph, So This Is Goodbye. The dancing begins early tonight, as local DJ faves Popstatic and Mother Hubbard lay the groundwork for a big set by the Boys.
