Coming from Vancouver, DiRTY RADiO is a project inspired by beats, bass, grooves, and paying respect to one’s idols. Taking notable producers’ beats and laying on original vocals, this group is making bootleg edits that keep the essence of the original tracks alive while supplying a thick, sexy, light R&B flair that’s sweeter than confectionary sugar.
Their latest mix, a take on Kaytranada’s spirited “246,” is a grand example of this bootleg ethic. While maintaining Kaytranada’s production, the vocals on this track have the slickness we expect from artists like Pharrell, but the feel of The Knocks; this is in the sense that there’s an indie/alternative edge as opposed to the very commercial touch that’s become indicative of the pop R&B market as of late. This is no doubt the result of their very DIY approach to music making which will more than likely lead to some guest vocal spots for DiRTY RADiO in the future. And one can only hope: these guys have a natural knack for what sounds good.
