- A little about myself: I’m originally from New York but now live in Austin Texas. I had a fairly successful EP called ‘Throwback’ this past year on Brookyln based label Palms Out Sounds. It got a lot of praise from some great DJs and artists whom I admire such as Sinden, Bok Bok, R1 Ryders, and Kingdom to name a few. That EP was kind of a current take on early rave music with elements of classic house, bmore club, jungle, and hardcore. A lot of my recent music in the past few months has been very inspired by kuduro, coupé-décalé, soca, tribal, dutch bubbling, chicago hard house, and dark east coast club music. A few tracks have taken on a more big room experimental vibe. I’m not really sure what I’ll do next. I’ve also got an original song coming out on a sublabel of Untold’s Hemlock which is a kind of reinterpretation of the grime instrumental but heavily nods to the rhythms and themes of Mexican tribal guarachero.

- I was really excited when I was given the opportunity to release with Enchufada. Mostly because it felt really natural and that this was already a direction that my music had been heading into. I had done a few remixes with a kuduro flavor – one being an unofficial remix of Makongo and another remix for French Fries’ cohort Manaré. Part of the challenge for me was to give respect to original angolan kuduro by focusing on producing a kuduro inspired track rather than just simply attempting to imitate kuduro. I gravitate towards sounds that are dark, percussive, and have always focused on creating music that amalgamates many influences.

- 5 songs we can’t stop listening today: Wildlife ft Sammy Dread – M16 (L-Vis 1990 Remix); Samo Sound Boy – Burning & Stealing; DJ Znobia – Fruta de Tarracho; T. Williams – Getting Mine; Dark Sky – High Rise
