808 Roundup 3 // Arnold x Lil Texas, Kaytranada, Iamusick, Nate Kodi

To start off this 808Roundup I thought I would throw in a recently released track from two of my favorite producers I've been listening to a lot of this summer. Both of these producers are from the MOD collective and really good at making intricate and rapper-friendly bass tracks. This stwo remix from the duo is a tropical, chilled-out club track. The pitchbent and reverb-laden synths remind me of something from Donkey Kong Country for the SNES mixed through a 00's R&B filter. The rhythm jumps between percussion-driven Angola influences and dirty dirty Cadillac music. Good for headphones or clubs. This will be out on HW&W.





Next up is the funkiest new producer I've heard in a minute. Kaytranada is from the electronic hotbed of Montreal and makes swingy, bouncey, and vibratoey groove tracks. As Summer is pretty much over at this point, this track is a good little last minute mood-lifter before the Fall comes crashing in. I really suggest you go listen to this guy's other stuff too.





And then we have Bondax, of course. These guys are super talented and super young, which I'm sure pisses off all sorts of melvin, old man producers. The cool thing about Bondax's tracks is how sophisticated and layered they are. They exist somewhere in that shadowy, yet growing grey area between R&B and UK bass music. They posted up this set on their soundcloud featuring all of their free goodies, so take advantage.





I also found this lil gem track by the good homie Nate Kodi and producer IAmusick. Short and sweet. This track starts off in a synthy landscape then drops down into a heavy drum section. 808 heavy one.



If you got bass-oriented goodness you think should be on a 808Roundup send me an email
