Following on from our Double EP launch last month,
we have another Double EP launch from 2 of
Melbourne's freshest heavy bass music producers..
SHIFTY SLY
http://soundcloud.com/shiftysly
Shifty prefers to be known as a BASSLINE DJ which allows his sets to be a mash of Breaks, Electro, Dubstep, Drumstep and Drum n Bass. Shifty prefers his sounds on the harder darker edge but is just as comfortable scratching and looping out a chilled downbeat jazzy cafe set if that's what's required. Shifty takes pride in having a record collection vast enough to walk into any club at anytime and play an appropriate set but will be at his best at 4am smashing it so hard your nose will bleed...... Shifty not only keeps working on his DJ game staying ahead of the pack but has also moved into the world of production so keep your ears peeled for some hard heavy snarling bass action from Mel Towns heavyweight bass hitter Shifty Sly.
Check out Shifty's debut EP on hopskotch "Like A Fox" on Beatport: http://www.beatport.com/release/like-a-fox/988868

Working on the heavy end of bass music, Wolfy beats range from Drumstep & beastly Dubstep to Hiphop beats and instrumentals. His debut and follow up EP are both due to drop on Hopskotch Recs over the next couple of months via Beatport.
With Support from Melbourne's finest:
