[LP] C2C – TETRA (w/ “The Beat” + “Down The Road”)

goodbye baby, yes iâ€™m going, have no place to go

Who:Â 4 DJs: 20 Syl, DJ Pfel, DJ Greem, DJ Atom
What: Indie scratch grooves, like folk, blues, hip-hop, & dance in a blender.
Where: Nantes, France + Facebook
When: Tetra is out now.
Why: Damn, I’m sorry. I’ve been loving this album so damn hard it’s made it hard for me to write about. How will I ever do it justice!? Well, you know what? I won’t. The jams themselves will speak for themselves.

The 4 DJs in C2C got together as far back as 1998, have over a 1/3 million likes on FB, have been covered by TBE fave Bernhoft, and are just now starting to make waves in the US. Their upcoming appearances at Coachella are the single most exciting thing about that desert (fuck)fest. Just watch any of their live videos to get a sense of the mind bending talent and music they dish out. While theÂ quartet ranked #1 in the DMC World Championships four times in a row (2003-2006. Watch the amazing 2005 video here), I haveÂ no patience for turntablism for turntablism’s sake. I do have patience for the way they deftly blend insane scratching skills with blues samples to make downrightÂ catchy and infectious grooves. Get into it!
