Between his many years of slappin’ da bass for such esteemed underground acts as !!!, Out Hud, and the almighty LCD Soundsystem, Tyler Pope might as well be in the Dance Rock Hall of Fame. His own personal taste as a producer and DJ is all over those record store aisles, however, as evidenced by a new 7” and a dancehall-inspired set Pope describes as follows:
This is a mix of some of my favorite tracks from the last year or two. I’m always looking for energetic and unique music, without typical house and techno rhythms, and this mix fits that description.
