When talking about Hip-Hop or any of the countless genres it has influenced, it???s all about the beats. Even after a producer loops ???Amen Brother??? for the millionth time, it will always be about the beats. They???re the foundation of Hip-Hop, and the defining characteristic of any artist or genre claiming Hip-Hop as inspiration. And at FACE MELT, they???re the only thing that matters.

As if he???s already plotting to bring an MPC to his cousin???s quincea??era, Maker explains the underlying motivations of FACE MELT as ???a gathering of different styles, cultures, and scenes that are all related??? It???s like a family reunion but with hard ass drums.??? Simple enough concept but reading between the lines, you may want to consider ear plugs!

TYLR BIO:

Starting as a Live PA act inspired by the sounds of jamtronica, TYLR has been refining his skills not only as a producer but also as a DJ/Performer. Blending both controllerism and DJing, you can expect to hear heavy melodic beats and smooth bass with just as much tonal quality as crunch. TYLR is constantly seeking out the freshest sounds, and the newest ways to manipulate these sounds to give his performances an in-the-moment feel. On top of being an avid bass music producer, performer and fan, he is also a self-proclaimed educator ??? interested in teaching, learning from and collaborating with other artists to create the new sound of bass music.

Produced in conjunction with Crowdnoize.com, Mac & Smash, Cosmic Lizzard, Fusicology, & Do312.
