The Boston Bounce thread!

[Citizen]

Ok,does anyone actually know much about this style, beyond DJC and his rather good "Boston" mix?

DJC - Mixes (http://www.mashit.com/djc/)

(some of you cats will def. be feeling his other mixes, too)

I really dug alot of the mix, and would be keen to find out more. To my understanding, theres only really a couple of artists making this sound.

Can anyone school me?

I dont know too much about Boston Bounce, other than I like what Ive heard so far!!!
Good to hear other ppl from down under are getting into it too....these guys deserve some respect for doing something genuinely different in an era when most electronic music sounds very stale

Ive only heard the Bouncement mix and the Boston mix of DJ Cs (and only 15mins of the latter, some error in my mp3 file).....but check out some of their websites for more info & tunage

My version of Boston bounce is sort of a combination of Baltimore club, German shuffle techno, and one drop reggae," Trussell writes via e-mail. "It’s around 135 bpm, has a kick-drum pattern that’s half four-on-the-floor and half broken, has a shuffle or swing hi-hat feel (we also call it Boston swing sometimes), usually has some breakbeats in there, and has a snare or rim shot on the three."

Some of his compatriots have their own variation on the sound. "DJ Flack’s stuff is around the same tempo but has a different feel. His rule is to throw in a waltz feel somewhere." You can hear a brief bit of Trussell’s track "Boston You’re My Bounce" on Wayne and Wax’s "Boston Mashacre" mix. And Trussell & Flack’s Beat Research label plans to release a 12-inch of Boston Bounce tracks in the near future.


interesting. i've got one of the mixes from above, but haven't had a chance to hear it yet.

[jazam]

it seems very similar to the baile funk sound that diplo is/was pushing.

w/o the baile

[Citizen]

Nah, I don't think it does.

That's pretty cool sounding shit.

Any labels dropping this stuff? Just noticed this stuff's been around since '05 at least, I'm pretty keen to hear more.
