DritahBeatss é o arquiteto sonoro por trás de uma fusão hipnótica de Boombap e Lo-fi, cujas raízes começaram a florescer nas terras  frias do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. Com um talento nato para criar batidas que ecoam a alma do velho e bom Hip-Hop, ele mergulha nas profundezas da cultura musical, extrai a essência do Boombap clássico e infunde-a com o calor e a calma do Lo-fi.

Atlanta native Joe Alterman expresses a certain upbeat naivete, with a broad smile and bright eyes that make you feel welcome. One would not guess that this is a man hailed by greats; Ramsey Lewis describes his music as "happy music with tasty meat on the bones," Les McCann states "Joe's on a 'blow your mind' level," and Ahmad Jamal calls him "a very special artist." The 21st century has brought another transition for this thing called jazz; in one moment we see the push and pull between tradition and progression, and in another we see Pop and Hip-Hop musicians emulating and sampling. In Joe Alterman we find none of this struggle; the music just sounds good. Our conscious faculties are instantly disabled as we tap our feet, feeling the intent and joy of his playing. An old classic is new when you feel good in the moment. Or, as legendary journalist Nat Hentoff wrote about Alterman in the Wall Street Journal, "Alterman’s continually evolving presence on the jazz scene surely makes people smile and, if the room is right, dance. There’ll be no need for any last rites of jazz.”
