XLR8R TV continues to impress with their series of interviews. Episode 69 is particularly interesting. Drop the Lime/Curses! (Luca Venezia) has an interesting story. Topics include growing up in New York, gospel choir, Chicago house, and jazz guitar. Intrigued? The reigning “heavy bass champion” music gives us a look inside.

Big things coming from the Trouble & Bass camp this year. Drop The Lime continues to be the evangelist for the label and the New York City bass music sound. Not to mention working with electronic music’s elite producers on the upcoming Machines Dont Care project . Another DJ/Producer that we have been really excited about is Boy 8-Bit. At the end of March he released a track called “Fog Bank” on Trouble & Bass with remixes from Jack Beats and Acid Jacks. Keep an eye out for this guy. He has a laundry list of new productions and remixes on the way!
