TRIGON
(Profound Audio | Methods NYC | Darkroom)
You hear that heavy bass rumbling on the underground? That’s the sub-smashin’ sounds of Trigon, the DJ, producer and CEO who’s a force to be reckoned with when it comes to Dubstep and other bass-heavy forms of music for 2010 and beyond!
Trigon has been representing upfront bass music in the City of New York as well as in Miami, Florida, making both his presence felt and honing his skills behind the decks. Coming from a diverse background of musical influences, his keen ear has helped him within the Dubstep culture, bringing the biggest beats from the cutting edge each and every time he touches down pon the decks. With his name buzzing already, a recent collaboration with Sol.ID entitled “Dirt Legs” was released on Basswerk in early 2010, and has not only received worldwide DJ support, but was featured on the mighty Metalheadz Podcast (their ninth show), which is a huge look for any producer out there.
2010 sees Trigon pushing forward, taking the mantle as CEO of the Profound Audio imprint, which he sees as a showcase for both established and upcoming producers making high quality Dubstep, D&B and more. He’s also got releases brimming on a number of labels, as well as a residency at The Darkroom, the most prestigious Dubstep institution in Brooklyn, NY. If you’re looking for the future sound of Dubstep, you’ve found it; keep your ears to the street, as the real revolution has begun…
CODE-D of TADT
(Monster Squad | Lickwud | Darkroom)
Born in Brooklyn NY, The American Dream Team, otherwise known as TADT, is sculpting the heaviest sound in jump up ghetto tech big room electro disco house mixing turntablism with top-notch production. Combining forces of Founder/Producer/DJ Code-D & Audio Visual Mastermind Dan Savage, the team is on fire right now raising the bar on club bangers and production coupled with mind-altering in-your-face visuals.
With the success of their mighty debut track “Money”, arguably the team’s rave rap electro gem and most anthemic hook, TADT is making major waves in the global dance music scene. Taking over electro blogs by storm, their “What Dreams Are Made Of” mix tapes span all music territories. Dreamt up from Code-D’s musical background in jungle and scratching crossing over to his breaks and house influences, his production borrows from a mixed bag of genres. Sampling anything from The Beastie Boys to rare guitar riffs, Code-D infuses tracks with electro-funk breakdowns and a hip-pop swagger that will jolt any dance floor into straight madness.
With the release of “My Boo” out on House/Hip Hop legendary imprint Nervous Records, TADT re-popularizes a throwback tune with their electro house and extremely danceable cover of the Ghost Town DJs classic. The track is making the rounds on Treasure Fingers’ mix tapes, Power 106’s Reflex radio show, and Kill The Noise sets. Other tracks like the “Drop It To The Floor (TADT Baby Pop Remix)” and “Murder Music” are also rotating on Kissy Sell Outs Radio Show on BBC, and Drop The Lime’s mix tape.
Doing remixes for everyone from Young LA to Trouble Andrew to Grum, the proof is in the pudding that TADT can turn anything into a massive club hit. TADT is currently finishing up remixes for Melanie Fiona, and Kay Gee of Naughty By Nature. Code-D is also proudly working on his new project “Monster Squad”, a spinoff of the Money track comprised of three Los Angeles Heavy Hitter MCs, Whiskey Pete, Andre Parnell & Jae Stylus. This monster collaboration is reimagining fidget rave rap with a tongue-in-cheek lyrical attitude that will make you lose control.
Playing alongside Kill The Noise, Computer Club, Designer Drugs, Udachi, Proper Vilains, Hype, Keoki, The Jaun Maclean, Le Castle Vania, TC, AC Slater & Evil 9 to name a few, NoisePorn put it best when saying “The American Dream Team is bang on the money when it comes to creating audio-visual sets that are wowing crowds across the pond.
ESHIN
(Profound Audio | Direct Drive | Outside the Cube)
Eshin first began DJing in 2000 by spreading hip-hop beats to house parties in the New York City area. Although he first delved into electronic music in 1996, Eshin did not start experimenting with Drum & Bass in his DJ sets until 2002 and hasn't looked back since then. Eshin made a big splash in 2004 by launching the eclectic Wednesday night weekly No Jacket Required in NYC with DJ/promoting partner Doctor Faustus. While the weekly finished its run a year after its launch, No Jacket Required continued as a NYC monthly event, bringing in prominent DnB talent from around the world, as well as NYC's finest. Today, Eshin is a fixture in the U.S. drum & bass circuit and is currently collaborating with Direct Drive, which has been a staple in the NYC dance scene for over a decade, and had worked with DB's monthly soulful DnB event The Secret Night of Science previously. Along with DJ/Producer Trigon, he also co-hosts NYC's premiere DnB/Dubstep radio show Outside the Cube, which can be heard on prominent UK station Bassjunkees Radio. Spanning from melodic and dubby sounds to tech-step and jump-up, Eshin showcases the ability to explore multiple styles in his sets. Eshin continues to rock dancefloors worldwide and has played alongside international talent including Goldie, Total Science, Marcus Intalex, Pendulum, Sub Focus, Chase & Status, Klute, London Elektricity, Logistics, and Digital, among many others. In 2010, be on the lookout for Profound Audio, a new DnB and Dubstep venture that will be launched by Trigon and Eshin!
