In conjunction with an exciting series of releases from the Dutty Artz family including Jahdan Blakkamore’s “We Are Raiders” EP and Matt Shadetek/Cauto’s “Dutty Remix Zero,” comes the young talent of Taliesin. His mix “Bass BinShit” is a proper tour de force in bass heaviness and a precocious synthesis of Dubstep’s inspiration as well as its vision (view tracklist below).

If the tracklist isn’t convincing enough at first glance, a high-art nod from Mr. Sasha Frere-Jones of The New Yorker magazine confirms Taliesin’s place in a burgeoning community of DJ’s interested in closing the gap between large oceans and closely linked sounds.

Perhaps equally impressive though is his extra-curricular life at Bard College. Siphoned over from the reserves of a 50k-a-year liberal arts college, Taliesin is the creator of a Bard sponsored party called The Remedy, drawing such talent as Ghislain Poirier, Cousin Cole, Todosantos, and Reaganomics. In the Spring of this year Taliesin asked boss (Dutty Artz) and Fader Magazine darling Jace Clayton (DJ/Rupture) to come wax wonky at a music conference he created to stimulate conversation about the state of “the global sound.”

With shows opening for DJ Lord of Public Enemy and making a warmly welcomed appearance at Mexico City’s “Konami Sessions” for a top-spot at “Dubstep Massive”, the college-kid is positioning himself as an important figure in the U.S. search for a place in Bass. And his association with the Dutty Artz family is an association with clever depth. Resiliently original and unpretentious, the Dutty Artz vision is a steadfast and eclectic movement of people who are interested in bringing people the best in the unheard from every corner of the world. Taliesin marks yet another worthy ambassador in the transference of a unifying sound.
