Review: More original DJ Godfather material you can take to the bank! With more undeniable Detroit electro and tongue-in-cheek ghetto tech on hand, the highlight this time may well come from the deep house, R&B, soul and funk touches you'll get outta "Late Night Funk". Get your straight up vocal club tracks with a touch of late-fidget in "Owe You Shit (feat Lil Mz 313)" with some Egytian Lover beatbox electro landing in "313 Keeps It Down" (and its bonus acapella clap track). And for another slice of peak time, acid-tinged, 808 club music that's the real deal, obviously, it's "Do It".
Review: DJ Godfather back in da house with Smoke In Da Air, the crowning track of a release that's backed up by three electro, acid and house inspired jams. "Smoke In Da Air" stands out from the get-go for its undeniable footwork flavour, detuned vocals, smokey chords and wavering bassline - a hit! For your classic slice of ghetto house head straight to "Big Girl", with "Like Some Dubstep" going from minimal groove to Ultra Music festival banger. And for a pure deep house vibe with a touch of everything Detroit - "Rebirth Of A City" is your jam.
Review: 'If you ain't got no 1200s from back in the days youse a wack DJ' preaches the Goodmoney vocal from DJ Godfather's lead cut "Wack DJ" - coming in just behind this EP's title-track "Wooooo!" Turning toward some Miami bass, beats and style in "Wooooo!" - with its stuttering horns, ruff vocal chants and skipping rhythms - "Only One City" ups the tempo for a hybrid rave, electro and dub techno number that sits next to something more percussive and dank in "Nights At The Packard". And for your tongue in cheek ghetto track, as promised, "Wack DJ" will get those bottoms ends working thanks to an undeniable 808 rhythm section.
Review: DJ Godfather rains down a chunk more of lightning bolt dancefloor music with this Loud Mouth EP, taking in tips from Pharoahe Monch in a cheeky "Godzilla 2020 (Hornstrumental)" for the show stealing DJs out there. Keeping it on a slightly humorous tip still is the riff heavy "Booty Funk" that loops its guitars hard next to some bassline house in "Loud Mouth (feat Goodmoney G100)". But really, for the players out there, this EP is all about "Shut The Fuck Up (feat King Saadi)" - a rude, fun and playful G-house number with lyrics to boot!
Review: DJ Godfather with the bizness once again offering up a point and place where the tempos of house, techno and electro can be bridged in a single mix with the BPMs of footwork, juke and jungle. Godfather flexes between 125-145 BPMs in two versions of "Make That Ass Go BOOM", with your stable tempo of course found in the original mix kept at a straight 145. Get your more tongue in cheek, Dirty Bird-like club numbers from "Up All Night (feat Christina Chriss)" next to the straight up, frenetic, and deep Detroit styled clap-track "D3T-313".
Review: DJ Godfather of late is going from strength to strength with each release, turning in a new single for his Databass label with the tongue in cheek Keep My Name Out Your Mouth - aka "Certified Freak Hoe". Featuring looped vocals from King Saadi, the Godfather delivers a track that lands somewhere between a Dirtybird and Dance Mania production with its playful basslines, scandalous vocals, space pongs and jacking snare rolls. Given two alternative tempos to play and alternate, this is a DJ-centric release for da klub.
Review: Following the release of the epic 44-track Electro Beats For Freaks album of 2020, DJ Godfather returns with a EP you can't refuse. Show Some Respect sees the Detroit bass mechanic turn in three-and-a-half new numbers in the relaxed yet deep "Sunday Morning Spliff" alongside the New York noise and post punk sounds of "These Strippers" - get your narrative content from the Dan Diamond version. The title track - centralised around a badass claptrack - angles itself toward the new techno sound of Detroit, aka Electro.
Review: Here's a meeting of great electro producers, as DJ Godfather hosts a collaboration with K-1 aka Keith Tucker on his Databass label. "Version 1" of the title track is a seamless collaboration be-tween these two creative minds, with Godfather's hip-hop scratching and bass-heavy rhythm combined with Tucker's robotic vocals and atmospheric but chilling synths. While the dub take follows a similar trajectory, albeit without the vocals, 'Version 2' sees the pair take a trip to electro's outer limits with the original vocals sent into a robotic vortex, supported by a robust, steely rhythm. It's an inspired release from the sound's most distinctive artists.
