Modeselektor take the baton from Matthew Dear, who put together the seventh volume in Get Physical's Body Language mix series, and serve up a disc that is, unsurprisingly, one of 2009's more omnivorous dance mixes -- albeit one that incorporates a heavy dollop of dubstep. Like the duo's 2007 contribution to Bpitch Control's Boogybytes series, the mix is not quite ADD-addled; the tracks, on average, play out for around two minutes, and there's a healthy disregard for stylistic cohesion. A handful of three-track sequences are worth singling out, but the best of all comes early on, with Rustie's playfully menacing and correctly titled "Zig-Zag" leading the way to the instrumental version of Missy Elliott's choppy "Lick Shots" and Osborne's throwback to Daniel Bell's early-'90s productions as DBX -- a bleeping, blipping, limb-flinging homage to a star of Detroit's low-budget New Dance Show program. ~ Andy Kellman
