The dance scene in Nashville is an interesting thing. Guys like Coach and KDSML have been around for a few years playing shows with the exact same crowd showing up every single Saturday for the Y2K shows. I had always just assumed it was fairly static. But after this past year seeing DJ after DJ pop up with the dubstep trend, it’s pretty apparent that we’re becoming a little more accepting towards it all.
I’ve made public my lack of knowledge on the dance scene so I won’t talk much more about that, but today hip-hop/trap/dance mainstay KDSML has released a mixtape that I’ve actually sat and listened to literally all the way through, which doesn’t happen very often anymore. I’ve been a real fan since I heard his production on the excellent Flossed In Space mixtape by Ziggurat, but until being mentally aware at one of his shows (the review he hosts every month at Exit/In) I hadn’t really looked very deep, but yo… this shit. You can stream and download KDSML’s entire Trap Jaw traptape over at Love Is Earth who is exclusively hosting it. Let’s hope that becomes a regular thing.
