It is by now no secret that the sounds of the kick drums echoing off the hills of the Tennessee valley have been singlehandedly redefining what we know to be truly Proper for the better part of a decade now. However, the faces of those that make up this new world order have remained largely in the shadows. As such we are beyond excited to bring Tennessee's two most elite producers, Memphis's Will Azada and Knoxville's Alex Falk, back to CGI. 'The Illuminati Traqckx' EP is a split 12" powerful enough to knock the Earth so far off of it's axis that even Jeff Mills's mothership won't be able to swing it back on track. 

The A side see's the first 2 new cuts from Will Azada (under his given name, at least) to hit wax since his untouchable Cliché EP for CGI in 2013. Two sides of the same coin, both "Flutterbutt" and "The Illuminati Traqckx" anchor a living, breathing, spacious rhythm scape around a deep thudding kick, expertly crafted percussion workouts, and airy chord stabs to create an otherworldly and immersive environment in which to lose your mind and find your body. Consider these cuts a master class in maintaining momentum. 

Flipping over to the AA side, Alex Falk tones down the atmospherics but not the intensity with two cuts of classic Falk-style techno bombs. "MR1" kicks it off with a massive kick drum anchoring a polyrhythmic monosynth and dancing white noise to create a driving cut that is as beautifully simple as it is gripping. For "Blazeit," the EP's final cut, Falk keeps the rolling monosynth/kick drum dynamic that made "MR1" so irresistible but this time colors it with hi-hats and what sounds like a sample of someone who took too deep of an inhale, expertly arranged so the intensity never stops building. No handclaps required.

juke/ftwrk/ghettohouse/etc
From memphis i find myself lost in florence alabama :(
dj babydaddy incorporates elements from ghetto house, juke, footwork, techno, Jersey/Philly/Baltimore club, New Orleans bounce, drum and bass  and Memphis trap seasoned to taste with soul, disco and electro spices. 


"Unpolished and raw, Slime delivers a fast-paced, booty-centric, fun & nostalgic set that's impossible not to dance to. Once you're seduced to the dance floor by the infectious & relentless 160 BPM gooves, you'll find that Slime demands your undivided attention as well as uncontrollable twerking. Once the crowd is in full-bloom,  the magic really starts as Slime reaches deep into his vast musical library to shine new light on often-forgotten dusty old gems but with a psychedelic twist from his unique fresh perspective.  Currently in our lil scene down here on Front St. we often hear DJs venturing into these multi-genre sets but its rarely actualized in a cohesive & tasteful manner so that tracks don't sound out of place, but I think Slime pulled it off for Front Street Friday Night and we would love to get him back here on Front Street"


Kickin' in, feel it kickin' in
When your heart starts to thumpin'
You can feel it kickin' in
And your mind starts to turnin'
Don't resist it, let it spin
Then your body starts to movin'
You can feel it slippin' in
And if somebody wants to give their love,
Let it in!
