This mix, short as it is, showcases this very clearly. It starts off with what is possibly my favorite track of his, <b>Back To The Bay<\/b>, which is pure bass-weight combined with soaring horns and smoothed-out synth washes. Just fucking lovely.<\/p>\n<p>Great video too, showcasing that Bay Area lifestyle:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4qBCHyRbGUE\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Second up is <b>Cuttin n&#8217; Scratchin&#8217;<\/b> which was one of the tracks from his album <a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/Matty-G-Take-You-Back\/master\/24724\"><b>Take You Back<\/a><\/b>. Punishing 808 drums with a memorable synth line, and a perfect segue to <b>95 Style Smooth<\/b>, where chopped-up breaks, reminiscent of slowed-down jungle, ride between a low-slung bassline and a mellow string\/chord combination. Contemplative music for the dancefloor as well. <\/p>\n<p>Next up is a little sequence showing off his hip-hop influenced side, with <b>West Coast Rocks<\/b> and <b>50,000 Watts<\/b> in particular being stone-cold classics. Thunderous drums, rap samples, and cavernous bass is what made these tunes such undisputed dancehall killers.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, to round things off, there are three reggae-influenced tracks, two of which appeared on the War label, always a good one for bootleg tracks. In particular, it was great to finish off with his remix of <b>One Step Forward<\/b>, which is also one of my own all-time favorite roots reggae tunes. In fact, I&#8217;d highly recommend picking up the album that track comes from, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/Max-Romeo-The-Upsetters-War-Ina-Babylon\/master\/490972\">War Ina Babylon<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, here&#8217;s a video interview with the man himself:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/48470197\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen><\/iframe> <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/48470197\">Quick &amp; Dirty vol.06 | Matty G<\/a> from <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/womptv\">Womp TV<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\">Vimeo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>And oh yeah, sad as it is, I am quite pleased that he shared this mix on his Facebook page:<\/p>\n<div id=\"fb-root\"><\/div>\n<p><script>(function(d, s, id) {  var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;  js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;  js.src = \"\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_GB\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.3\";  fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));<\/script><\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-post\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/permalink.php?story_fbid=937713529599038&amp;id=123650194338713\" data-width=\"500\">\n<div class=\"fb-xfbml-parse-ignore\">\n<blockquote cite=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/permalink.php?story_fbid=937713529599038&amp;id=123650194338713\">\n<p>Posted by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Matty-G-123650194338713\/\">Matty G<\/a> on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/permalink.php?story_fbid=937713529599038&amp;id=123650194338713\">Tuesday, 29 December 2015<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A tribute to American dubstep producer Matty G; featuring influences from hip-hop, reggae, electro, soul and drum n&#8217; bass<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[32,138],"class_list":["post-3897","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-mixes","tag-dubstep","tag-dubstep-tributes"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3897","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3897"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3897\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6037,"href":"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3897\/revisions\/6037"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3897"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3897"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3897"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
