Tanner and Stylo

If you didn’t make it out to Foundation: Up In Smoke Saturday you missed some heaters by Christauff and the ScandalDC gang. All had some seriously hot selections that got the crowd rockin’ early until late again.

One of the highlights, was my new bootleg remix I call “This N That“. TnT channels the 1991 hit “The Choice Is Yours” by Black Sheep. Then on top of it, I layered the song by invoking rhythmic chords reminiscent of Kraftwerk mixed with a Reggae like rhythm Rhodes piano. Top it off with a drum section more often found in modern House music with a muted Baltimore Club-like change up on the breaks and, voila! The Jackin House sound of This N That!

The rough draft heard on Saturday night was so well received, I’ve added only a few minor elements leaving the bulk pretty much as-is. So listen, download, give it a whirl; then let me know what you think.
