Big and Bashy

Via The Fader comes this exclusive mix by Dutty Artz co-founder Matt Shadetek titled "Dutty Artz Blend".

"It is nuyorcentric, psychotropical and heavily dosed with the voice and production of Gize "77Klash" Burrowes, who has often had his name invoked in Ghetto Palms but has been underrepresented sonically. It arrived in my inbox with this note: File under BK bashment, sub-soca, dutty house, roots and future, waking up the neighbors. Go crazy." (Matt’s comments follow the track-listing after the jump)

"Stick Up Dub": This kid is busting up the LDN Funky scene right now with this tune. Geko (Jones) reached out and he cut this dub for us, love it.

"Mi Name" (Tropical Rmx): This one is brand new and exclusive to this mix. I took the acapella from Father Bookie's tune on 77Klash's Swarm Riddim and laid it over this new dutty house riddim of mine. Add autotune and: boom!

“Fogs”: Brand new instrumental from Kingdom, exclusive and unreleased. This guy is one of my favorite new producers in NYC.

"The Swarm": Big bad BK bashment from Jahdan and the Noble fam over 77Klash's Swarm Riddim. Love this one.

“Pressure”: New tune produced by me with Klash on vox in shouting mode. Moshpit dancehall.

“Go Round Payola” (Shadetek Remix): This is a quick remix I did of a tune that I produced for Jahdan's We Are Raiders

“Big and Bashy”: MADNESS from Toronto's Visionary, also unreleased as far as I know. He's been doing these really crazy 4x4 140 bpm tunes with a heavy rave vibe, we've been calling it sub-soca over here.

“Battery Charge”: New dutty/grime house from me, made this one while teaching logic at dubspot.

“Pure Riddim”: This one is on Jahdan's We Are Raiders EP as an instrumental and a vocal version on his forthcoming album Buzzrock Warrior.

“The General”: Produced by me and Liondub this is from Buzzrock Warrior as well, out on 12-inch now.

“Recession”: Found out about this guy through Skerrit Bwoy playing his specials. Killer new New York artist.
