SPIN on TRAP RAVE 2.0

"On Trap Rave 2.0, out next Tuesday, the remixes are even ballsier and the song choices, well, even more rap nerd-friendly. Sure, you get recent hits like Meek Mill's "House Party," 2 Chainz's "Spend It," and "Beez in the Trap," but there are also some oddballs, too — a remix of Ohio rapper and tangential Taylor Gang affiliate Freaky Franz's "On Flex"; blasts of Atari sounds charging through "Pussy Power" from Mannie Fresh's delightful, cult solo album, The Mind of Mannie Fresh; and for some reason, an airy, almost psychedelic take on Black Rob's "Whoa?""

A very nice write-up about TRAP RAVE 2.0 and Rack Skinny

"He’s been heavy into the Moombahton scene since Spring of 2010, but his work stands out from other Moombahtonistas due to his endearing love and knowledge of rap music. All of the tracks on Trap Rave 2.0 are remixes of recent rap hits. The set has a real cohesive feel and all play out real well to even the most finicky of dancefloors."

MTV Hive names ( . Y . ) it's Mix of the Week

"As a whole, this mix plays kind of like the “partytime” playlist on your ipod, but with the technical prowess and discerning taste that only a DJ could contribute. And that makes it way more fun."

The Skinny Friedman Interview

"I thought underground rap would make me cool in college. it kind of worked, then I realized nobody wanted to hear Sir Menelik in the club so I diversified and bought a bunch of house records. That worked a little better."

Love for a very old remix I did of Bon Iver's "Blood Bank"

"Glad I checked this out."
