seriously if you arent paying attention to what Dj Rashad and the whole Teklife crew are doing (lets also include Machinedrum) then you are seriously seriously missing out on some great stuff.


Turn the bass up, play this shit in your car. The whole multi decade hip hop, 90's RnB, 70's soul mashup thing is really working super well right now.



edit: and before someone says some goofy shit about white hipsters and trap music, just take a listen before you make a tear in that direction (this shit is coming out of chicago and has gone abroad)
2843911, I was super happy to see Rashad on Fly Lo's GTA V station

i was super impressed to see that
really dope move on Chance's part

they're calling it a Social Experiment - really curious to see how the rap crowds react

2844361, why are you lumping those things together?
Posted by cgonz00cc, Mon Sep-30-13 03:13 AM
And what thing is there to revisit?
2844734, its the way its being presented in the mixes I've been listening to
Posted by double negative, Tue Oct-01-13 11:50 AM
and I'm finding some cross pollination happening between the genres

drum n bass is also kinda in the mix with this stuff.


revisiting it because its been dismissed like shit in the lesson and I'm going to bet donuts that more folks are going to be talking about it soon.
2856823, anyone up on the dj rashad double cup album?
