2013 is without a doubt Trouble & Bass’ year. The Brooklyn-based label and DJ collective has so many upcoming releases and is making so many big moves that I had to chat with Luca Venezia of Drop The Lime fame and founder of the dark creative collective to make sure I had everything straight. And after witnessing the face melting awesomeness at their BASS CLASH event with Mixpak a few weeks ago, I’ve gotta say that these dark Dons are leaders in their field and definitely ones to watch.

Kuduro has been around for ages, but it’s been the resurgence of the sound by Portugal’s Buraka Som Sistema that has really made the genre globally recognized in the dance music community. J-WOW of Buraka Som Sistema was delegated as the selector for the most recent Hard Ass Compilation on Enchufada Records, calling on producers from across the globe to take a crack at the percussive sound including Bok Bok, Kingdom, Douster, and many more.
