Drum & Bass valiant emcee
DJ 6ix and Valiant Emcee - Block Music: Ensemble Ruminations on Drum-n-Bass

A collaboration between Toronto DJ/Producer, DJ 6IX, and Buffalo NY based VALIANT EMCEE, this mix aims to hearken back to the vibe of LTJ Bukem and MC Conrad (and later DRS) in their Logical Progression and Progression Sessions heyday. As longtime veterans of drum-n-bass music, this mix is both a throwback to those sounds, and a bold push into the future. 6ix weaves together a selection of music that is both emotionally deep and ready for the dancefloor. It's lush, bassy, and diverse, perfectly reflecting his production philosophy. Valiant bookends his new and current vocal material with two sets of 16 bars that he wrote back in 1998 when he started performing, emulating MC's Conrad, DRS and Dynamite in those early days. In between, he talks about science fiction, literature, rock and roll, hardcore punk, futurism, failing in relationships, and more. This is their first outing together, and it signifies a bright partnership for this pair.
