[STREAM] David Heartbreak – The Foundation EP [OWS035]

05 17 2013

Property of Gotta Dance Dirty

The Foundation, is just that. It’s me going back to my roots of dub, hip hop and acid. It’s my modern take of decades of music I grew up with infused with electronic music (elements).”

-David Heartbreak

This EP is seven tracks of big, brutal, gangster ass reggae vibes.  Melding dub, reggae, acid, trap, electro and everything in between; David Heartbreak stretches his musical roots with an incredibly diverse and engaging sonic pallet.  Perfectly suited for OWSLA, who just keeps supplying us with the goodies this week.

Couldn’t be more pleased to be teaming up with Phonat today to bring you The Dirt #116.  We’ve got 11 tracks selected by us for you spanning from some absolutely prime funky chops selected in true Phonat style, to the strangest subversions of trap and some sick black acid bootlegs from me.  That, his thoughts on the tracks, and a handy little zip, coming at you!

Phonat’s Selections

Love the vocals cuts and pitch here. Love the chords. Dancefloor monster:

 

Moody and dissonant, very interesting textures. This guy deserves more attention:

 

This track redefines disco. We need more of this Marcus Marr!

 

It’s so difficult to choose your favourite Bobby Tank track! The dreamy 80′s atmosphere here is a thing of a beauty:

 

I’m a massive fan of Daisuke, this remix is so delicate it makes your brain float:

 

No way I could ever top that premium picking on Phonat’s part!  I am truly humbled by the man’s taste in tunes, a huge thank you to you, Phonat!

Be sure to check out his long awaited new EP out on OWSLA next month.

After a solid day’s drive soundtracked by mostly old school hip-hop and random tunes from the #GDDRV Twitter request line we finally arrived in New Orleans to the sight of the glowing green home of the New Orleans Saints, the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. This should’ve been an early warning sign that NOLA indeed takes St. Patrick’s Day very seriously…
