You Rate It: David Heartbreak’s “The Foundation”

Words by Deejay Theory —

Hustling bass maker David Heartbreak just dropped his first official solo record, a seven-track offering of electronic compositions showcasing what the man has been up to this past year or so in the lab. If you remember, we hipped you to Heartbreak’s Caribbean roots and some of his moombahton / dancehall crossover joints in the past; subtle layers of reggae and dancehall influence course through The Foundation, which dips into dubstep, rave, electro, acid, trap. The project was released by Skrillex‘s imprint OWSLA, obviously a huge look. Let us know how you rate the release in the comments section. Stream the album below, purchase on Beatport here.

We’re back with your morning-after-the-Super-Bowl edition of Mixtape Mondays on deck. We know Beyonce’s dancehall-infused halftime performance last night has you in a Caribbean frame of mind, so we’re covering all of the bases with roots, rap, dancehall and electro-bashment business. Your Monday soundtrack should be looking a whole lot better right now. And look for our new LargeUp mix series launching this Friday with a mix from Jillionaire. Boom.

It seems that A-Trak, Fool’s Gold Records and Pitchfork Media have caught on to what we’ve known for oh, about five years now… that Natalie Storm is the shit. The indie rock website today premiered the video for “Like the Dancefloor,” a reworking of A-Trak and DJ Zinc’s “Stingray” featuring vocals from the author of our very own sex column, Punany Monologues. We’ve long wondered why the electrofied garrison dancehall innovator doesn’t get more love from the wider music world, so this development is definitely a good look.
