Databass US

The compound for one of Detroit’s most respected ghetto tech dons, DJ Godfather, Databass’ second coming has arrived. Boasting a catalogue that supported an early run of releases from DJs Funk, Assault, Deon and Sluggo, Databass has since turned a freshly tapped source for new DJ Godfather material. A true OG in the art of footwork, juke, electro and straight up ghetto tech, Godfather’s Electro Beats For Freaks album is a standout highlight, next to sleeper hits lile “Smoke In Da Air”, “Jit or Die”, “Shut The Fuck Up” and “Keep Your Name Out My Mouth”. Home to the sounds of Sheefy McFly, Starski & Clutch and Erik Travis too - Detroit be in the building.

That Booty EP
Footwerkz - (3:39) 80 BPM
Review: Another week, another DJ Godfather release. The veteran Detroit producer is in a creative purple patch right now, and That Booty is a reminder of the range and depth of his sound. It moves from the title track's primal ghetto tech swing -and Lil Mz 313's suggestive vocals - to the soulful, R&B-tinged groove of "Till It's All Gone". It too features a vocalist - in this instance it's Ricky Burns's seductive tones. Godfather delivers a reflective interlude in the shape of "Footwerkz". However, it's only a temporary pause and soon enough, he bounces back with the jacking, vocal-tinged ghetto of "Not Me" and "Smokin' Up Yo Weed".

Hypnotized EP
Hypnotized - (3:39) 80 BPM Hot
Review: DJ Godfather is in the middle of a creative purple patch, and Hypnotized is the latest in a series of releases from the Detroit artist. The title track has a pop sensibility, thanks to the use of a catchy, vocoder vocal. Looped over rolling breaks, it has the potential to be a hit. In contrast, "Table Terrorist", available here in two versions, sees Godfather indulge his hip-hop leanings. Call and response vocals vie with turntablist scratches and cuts for the listener's attention. Of course, the sound of ghetto is never too far away on a Godfather release. In this instance, it comes in the form of the high-octane "Damn It's Fat", which features Ricky Burns' captivating rhymes.

This Detroit Thing Of Ours
Hyponotized - (2:48) 80 BPM
Review: Spanning an epic 46 tracks of ghetto tech, house, electro and techno bangers welded all the more to scratch tracks, footwork and straight up motor city bangers - DJ Godfather's This Detroit Thing Of Ours has landed. With each track segueing into the next the album also includes collaborations with DJ Deeon, Goodmoney G100 and King Saaidi to Gettoblaster & Missy - you find other badass collabs vai Lil Mz 313 ("That Booty"), to soulful yet dubbier-tranced out numbers with Ricky Burns ("Back It Up"). Furthermore there's the raw basslines of "It's Ghetto Tech" featuring Dan Diamond to some slurpy-sippin' midwest club vibes of "What Up" featuring Parkhouse. DJ Godfather, better recognise y'all.

Smoke In Da Air EP
Smoke In Da Air - (3:38) 80 BPM Hot
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.
