Responsible for one of the wickedest riddims in years, the unique, drum and bass-tinged Skallawa-- check Turbulance's "Notorious" for proof-- 77klash has a knack for crafting tunes that run di place pretty much everywhere. "Notorious" was huge in Jamaica, went number one in the UK, and was also a favorite of Radiohead, who kicked off shows with the track on their last tour. And "Brooklyn Anthem" (which lives up to its name) had as much success on dancefloors in the UK as it did over here.
The Brooklyn-based Jamaican-born Mikkel "Gize" Burrowes brings together more than just JA and the U.S.A. His tracks mash up dancehall and hip-hop, but there's also a bit of grime and a very rock'n'roll element. "Code for the Streets" is emblematic of this mixture-- and what sounds like a touch of the Clash is just right.
Saturday October 31st 2009 Good Peoples presents Fool's Gold and Trouble & Bass : Halloween 2009 with Kingdom, XXXChange, NIck Catchdubs vs. Trouble & Bass crew, Supra 1, 77 Klash
On October 31st, indie titans Fool's Gold and Trouble & Bass go head-to-head for a massive Halloween showdown.
Repping the Fool's Gold side: local hero Kingdom, remix-guru / Amanda Blank producer XXXChange, and Fools Gold co-founder Nick Catchdubs. Bringing the Trouble & Bass: T&B family (Star Eyes, The Captain, and AC Slater), Poland-based Supra 1, and Jamaican / Brooklyn spitkickers 77 Klash.
What happens when you take the two best indie electronic music labels in Brooklyn, pit them against each other on Hallow's Eve, and sprinkle a little Good Peoples flavor over the whole thing? We're guessing it includes sweat, blood, and basslines.
