These tracks are both new and old. Ones I have been obsessed with for years and some I have just been introduced to by a new special friend. Shout out to Mark Smith (Masrt/Austin, TX), for showing me so much more about GJones over the weekend at Middlelands.
I have been following him since his impromptu set setting the stage for RL Grime a couple years ago at Euphoria. Who would have thought he and other incredibly talented producers would be heading a music revolution? Get to know this thing called Slime Punk, the genre includes artists such as GJones and SMKSGNLS, both featured on this playlist.
After some grimey bass you’ll hear plenty of drum and bass and a few pretty vocal tracks. Also, it wouldn’t be complete without some Rusko. He has had my heart since 2010 when I first heard ‘Woo Boost’, the 2nd song in electronic music I heard after ‘Basshead’ from Bassnectar. All my good juju goes to Rusko and what he is currently dealing with, I am so lucky I have gotten to share a stage with him through shooting for DoD.
You’re about to get to know one of the photographers for The Department of Dance a lot better! I actually listen to all this stuff daily. Turn it up.
