This week we drop back into the groove with Mexicali’s burgeoning deep house duo, Climbers. Their guest mix exemplifies how they have been making a name for themselves in the underground with their signature sound that includes a unique blend of “classic house percussions, emphatic bass lines, old school vocal sampling and atmospheric synth pads.” With a forthcoming OFF Recordings release and the launching of their own label with an original track and remix by Frankie Knuckles on the horizon, Climbers show no signs of slowing down.

In the midst of being support for Excision‘s Executioner tour, the rising bass music maestro, Vaski, flexes his multifaceted production expertise in his genre-bending remix of The Neighbourhood‘s “Sweater Weather.” He continues to push the boundaries of his own musical dexterity to innovate and grow as an artist – just as any true artist should. Enjoy his dubstep-influenced House remix and read a few words from Vaski himself.
“I found the original through related artists and was instantly hooked.
