I was thinking I would pass along something that my guy Taliesin passed along to me the other day, a mix that I want to share with you all today; a little something for your basic need for new, fresh music that happens to have a lot of low end in its theory. This one is good, so don't hesitate to grab it or anything from the company that Taliesin keeps. The crew that he is a party to is the NYC crew Dutty Artz, which includes Matt Shadetek, a crucial emcee Jahdan, and the always worldly dj/Rupture to name a few; a crew that has been a driving force behind a movement that is known as Tropical Bass. What is Tropcal Bass you might ask... it is what it sounds like, all things tropical with a bit more bass figured into the configuration. It could sound like a lot and generally does with dancehall, cumbia, reggaeton and pretty much anything else that owes its origins to the tropics with heavy bass, dubstep and other electronics in a grimey-good mix that can bend in so many directions that it makes me want to dance just describing the sound.Dutty Artz has the goods, they describe themselves as "... actually a person. She is more than a label, she is a music, television, multimedia web 2.0 copacetic media mafia. DJ /Rupture and Matt Shadetek are the good and bad cop. Geko Jones is the flyspace ambassador." Here are some of their TV episodes...
I've got a new mix done- been recording sets with more of the music ive been listening to recently, cumbia, ny hiphop, and as always bass heavy bangers with that nice metalic sheen.
