#36 Feat. Staff Picks in 140 / Deep Dubstep / Grime

Two of the hottest talents in New Zealands bass scene combine in devastating fashion on 233, a tune so moody it makes Azealia Banks 212 sound more like Dolly Partons 9 to 5. Dark cinematic soundscapes are interrupted by the sub-driven force of Paige Julias beats so sick, they make you iller than getting locked up in an ice cold chiller as fire MC Talis flow and lyricism takes centre stage. The dynamite vocalist is someone DDD founders Truth have long admired, with the duo promoting her when they used to throw drum & bass shows way back in 2005 when she was signed to Roni Sizes Full Cycle Records in Bristol, UK. Welcoming Tali to the label for the first time is a full cycle moment itself, and the results are seismic as the MC sprays molten lava got no time for patriarchy, so dont fuck with me and my privacy - with Paige Julias ice cold production the perfect bedrock. Snakes better watch their throats, Paige Julia and Tali arent in the mood to play nice.

TALI, Paige Julia
