LISTEN: Conrank - Hood Shake [Out April 26th on Liquid Amber]
This massive tune comes from Shanghai's own Conrank. I love trap tunes that don't depend solely on the buildups and breakdowns. Songs that make me want to go ape-shit for a few minutes instead of for 2 15 second drops over the course of 3 or 4 minutes. For me that's my biggest problem with a lot of mainstream dance music, the downtime. Keep the beat fucking going for fucks sake, don't give people an excuse to stop dancing. This is exactly what Conrank does on "Hood Shake" which is being dropped on DJ Shadow's label Liquid Amber next Tuesday, April 26th. Conrank has worked with DJ Shadow, Subp Yao, Bleep Bloop, Doshy, Goldfinger. DJ Support : DJ Shadow, Gaslamp Killer, Buku, Starkey, DJ Snake, G Jones, Doshy to name but a few.

"Drawing from his everyday experiences in Shanghai, Conrank’s release is a sonic standoff between the East and West, with citations of Chinese culture juxtaposed with the emerging producer’s penchant for forward-facing trap and dubstep. “Hood Shake” is a rumble in the concrete jungle, which gets rolling with slithering melody lines that snake their way underneath invasive drum rolls and all kinds of new-age sound design."
