Whatever it is, the independent music spirit surpassed this monologue events since Bangkit Album would be officially released tomorrow.

Morning people.. If ya'all are chilling at your sweet escape just like ya bwoy's doing, then ya'll should take some note. Indonesia's finest turntablist DJ Scratchy hooked me up with breakfast for my mind with a free dubstep mix.
Ya'll know, most stuff on my blog would be free and promotional, and yessur we only portray them stress relievers. Mathematically, by taking some of ya time, im reducing (potential)crime rates and such (kidding!)
I've known Agung a.k.a DJ Scratchy for quite sometime. Other than just being my producer who mixd and mastered my tracks on my numero uno studio mixtape Fresh Tapes, this person has always been musically an idol to me. A short biography bout this due wouldn't hurt as much. This personnel is few of those pioneer turntablist hip hop outfits who were performing scratches in them city streets of Bandung back in the days. He also took music production on a serious level beyond hip hop since he produced and engineered loads of art pieces to loads of fellow musicians across Indonesia. Ya'all want names? Dewi Sandra or Sandra Dewi (ask either one, i forgot).
Back to the story, this cat since than has been renowned or his skills on the turntable and authentic mixes at parties not mentioning producing skills. Few years back, lets say 2 years back - he developed a much improper way of saying lust towards drum n bass/ dub step/ electro-ish mixes. Ive been witnessing loads of DNB mixes to them average hip hop tracks. I'm those hooked fans who has been sharing loads of exclusive mixes with the personnel. Recently, Cronik Labs Studio,which is the home-ground for the Bandung underground hip hop camaraderie progressed to a better environment of studio upgrade. It has since been relocated and known as Trackbaze Studios to the Bandung local scene. This is the 1st essential product of them studio although it is rumored that Cronik would be recording their visuals soon for their footage.
Till Then if ya'all dig dub step and I recognized some glitch and grime in the midst of this mix.. feel free to download, hook up with ya favorite DJ, get some words about the mix and drop ya comments. Don't forget the 'Like' button.since you wouldn't get a 50 minute free mix like ya'll attended them private DNB parties ya'all got bassed out.
This is the 1st DNB/Dub Step/Glitch/Grime mix coming at ya'all straight from Bandung. Although over the years I've been hearing loads of live mixes from loads of them local DJs and DNB outfits - never have came across any recorded/internet friendly ear candies. Time to do some research
This mix starts with a lady asking me to 'show her..blabla'. Lolz.
What's them restful weekend for sizzle like people?. What brings me to this post is my man Dafrosty. Yes u heard me, Mr.Frost is back with his mixtape ready to be bootlegged to your local drives and them jogging apparels. Apparently, I've been hooked with this mixtape ever since i downloaded it. These are few(maybe loads) reasons:
1. The mixtape is free
2. The bitrate is 320 kbps
3. This mixtape has 15 tracks including its skits
4. This is exclusively been produced, mixed and mastered by Dafrosty, whilst some tracks are produced by Sazz The Villain, Shazet and Dafrosty himself.
5. The mixtape has shitload of samples to make ya'all ponder and such,
6. The artists inclined/listed on them mixtape murdered their slots
7. The deliverance of the host would immaculately flip and toss emcees apart as a reference for them career!
8. There are lyrics embedded in all of them tracks!!!
9. It has Magneto's helmet as its mixtape cover
10. This is strictly UNDERGROUND
*Feel free to hook me up with more reasons if ya'all got em'.
This mixtape psychedelically 'shroomed' me from the moment I hit them play on my media player. Imagine, having a mash of Brother Ali, Final OutlaW, Sabac and Mr. Lif ripping tonsils on them Madlib, El-P beats. Dafrosty lifted the Malaysian rap arena to another level with his spells on beats and rhymes. Well this cat key-styles a lot and these are few key-stylers who sounds better spitting.
My money for the mixtape would be Fire Works the immediate track after the strong intro sampled from Malcolm X. For split a second, I rechecked my playlist to screen for Vinnie Paz. The soothing piano and high frequency cut drums at the intro speaks loads of stories to your average beat makers. Sazz The Villain layered an air ball which Mr.Frost slam dunked with style.
Rap Gladiator was the next to initiate the action potential in my ear hair cells. This track was heavily experimental and it's the 1st I've heard of his such from a Malaysian producer/emcee. I should say it's bold and reached it's whereabouts.
Salvation is surely the next skate boarder's anthem even though this sounded handsomely grungy. Lina Halim engineered a 3 syllable tune and spoke nothing more. Again, Dafrosty took me by surprise with the rhymes.This is a cover from Cranberries which I'm honestly not familiar since I've never heard them girls. Maybe i should in the future, now look how hip hop cross promotes other genres! (bragging rights!)
Overall I'm rating this album a 7 out of 10 stars. This is the best local business I've heard all year long. Dafrosty is your next existent rapper you would say "I knew him" as the kid continuously executes mid-day mutiny on rap. I would love to see him maintain and sharpen his current style. At them mean time, keep a lookout for his unique deliverance, signature beats and deep rhyme not an average emcee would do. This mixtape is a MUST HAVE for all no matter ya'all are digging rap or hip-pop!
Independence is a noose of foreign pendants/
They pen dances so we’d stop being defensive//
And stay blind to these thorns we’re stepping on/
Couldn’t fathom the past,guess it’s out of fashion//
