Kill Yourself…. He wins….
THE DJ FORMERLY KNOWN AS…
My knowledge on the beginnings of college-boy DJ’s in Rochester is a little dusty, but I will go as far as to say one of the names that should come out of that dust is Bvdhai.
I remember seeing the coolest cats out by the library on campus gettin’ their hipster on. Wether draggin on their ciggys, or leaning on their bikes, the students with the “eclectic” tastes in music and style always seemed to have the hookup into the growing electronic dance music scene in rochester.
Back then, he was part of a two-man DJ operation called “Oxford Street Collective” with an old friend Antonio. At some point in between then and now “NBOF: Nickel Bag of Funk” was the title you could find him DJing under as well. The Jamaica native, Bvdhai casually ushered me into the DJ scene in Rochester. At the time it wasn’t anything we thought about too hard. A couple years later, and a few handshakes in, I was on East Ave in Pearl every Saturday night doing shows with him under the stage name “Piscean Sound System”. I have had the privilege of working with him on numerous shows and occasions. His style is like none I’ve personally encountered.
Bvdhai delivers a nostalgic soulful vibe with his mixes. It is almost as if he massages the tracks into the ears of the lonely ladies on the dance floors. His mixes are for the lovers and the thinkers, the relaxers and the movers alike. Stemming from old work he got into with Antonio years ago, Bvdhai has pushed forth a series of mixes called the “DISCONAP”. Wether on the radio or the internet, these DISCONAP vibrations will calm the nerves and make you move at the same time. Without any further delay, here are the DISCONAPS.
You can find BVDHAI’s mixes on SoundCloud.
OR on Elektrobank WBER!!!!
ConArtist’s Magic House Party Turkey Dance Mix Hello-Goodbye
Sometimes I go into my basement, get on the turntables, and record a mix that has mostly nothing to do with dubstep. I then sit on the mix for weeks… I never upload it…. I am not sure why, I just never upload it.
When people ask me to play my music for them though, I play these House Party mixes…. People are asking for the mixes they hear me play. So without further ado I present to you:

The Secret is Out This Summer….
There has been a lot of talk among the informed and the interested about “dubstep” and related genres. I am here to address it through music that I like and music I produce.

There is some original beats by ConArtist, some tracks by SupraNatural, A$AP Rocky, and a handful of other artists I’ve been hearing. (There is also a nice little tribute to N****s in Paris including a Schoolboy Q remake).
