Databass US Vinyl & CDs

Review: Sound the ghettotech alarm, DJ Godfather is in the building. Detroit's undisputed master of this eternally catchy branch of electro knows exactly what he's doing, and his Databass label is the most trusted stamp in the scene. '313 Keeps It Down' is a no-nonsense body rocker with whipcrack claps, brittle hats and dirty thump in the low end, of course with some reliable vocoder chants to lock on to. There's a dub mix of that track to get creative in the mix with, plus 'Owe Your Shit' which brings a deadly, filthy rap from Lil Mz 313 to put all needy bros in their place. 'Late Night Funk' offers something more introspective thanks to its lush pads, showing there's more than one side to the Godfather.
