Tsimba x DeeZ - Raw Reefer [The Rust Premiere] by The Rust Music

Super excited to announce our first exclusive premiere from @tsimba & @deezbass! And of course its available for free download!

When two producers collaborate on a single composition, it can go one of two ways - It can be a disastrous affair with two distinct clashing styles fighting for dominance, creating a cacophony of contrasting sounds, or it can be a beautiful amalgam of artists and their respective aural characteristics. What we have right here is an example of the latter - Tsimba & DeeZ, two up and coming producers bas(s)ed out of New England connecting minds to craft a ghastly goulash of phonic filth.

2015 has been an exceptional year for both producers. Tsimba, who hails from Connecticut, released his debut project, “BioRiddimz” through the Abstract Future label just two months ago. The album introduced listeners to Tsimba’s unique auditory conceptions, aptly dubbed FutureRoots, which combines elements of contemporary bass music with organic tribal rhythms and Hip-Hop percussion. Tsimba began his symphonic adventures as a percussionist, and its instantly evident when listening to “BioRiddimz.” Shortly after reaching this benchmark, Tsimba linked up with the infamous Electronic Music Production & DJ school Dubspot (where he took classes), and landed a spot on the Dubspot Radio podcast. The podcast included a short interview, which was followed by a 50-minute long, eclectic mix that included original production as well as a wide variety of pieces by other artists such as ill.Gates, Mr. Bill, Esseks, Tipper, Duffrey, and even MF DOOM. The mix was a splendid compliment to “BioRiddimz,” as it did a proper job of providing his audience with a taste of both his DJing skills and his impeccable taste.

DeeZ, who's straight outta Boston, has been hard at work as well. Just three months ago he released his debut as well, the “Elevated” EP, through DIGITAL WHOMP, a French record label / collective that has been pushing extraordinary Glitch Hop / Midtempo music since early 2012. Only two short months later, Satori put out “What’s Really Going On?” through Funkadelphia Recordings. A bass-ridden behemoth of an EP that built on his already bombastic sound immensely, “What’s Really Going On?” was a crucial addition to Satori’s catalog. Each of the three tracks are massive, and each of them takes Satori’s gargantuan sound in a new direction. There’s elements of Drum & Bass, Dubstep, and Midtempo in there, but one thing is consistent - that bass slaps like no other. On top of Satori’s fantastic original production, he also has a real talent for remixing. His renditions of Jantsen’s “Let’s Get ILL” and Bassnectar’s “Bass Head” are phenomenal examples of Satori’s knack for retweaks.

Both Tsimba & DeeZ have been grinding this year - In the studio, on the decks, and playing out as much as possible. “Raw Reefer,” the first collaboration between these artists, is a remarkable example of sonic synthesis. At any point in the track, you can hear the influence of Tsimba’s history with percussion and his penchant for Hip-Hop, or Satori’s repulsive undulations. The result is a mesmerizing midtempo dancefloor anthem that’ll get them rumps shaking, them fingers snapping and them heads banging… and that right there is the unholy trifecta of dance. My neck hurts just thinking about it. The growl of the wobble, the clicking and snapping of the percussion, and that catchy vocal sample - “Raw Reefer” is what you get when you combine FutureRoots and Filth.
