DJ Dez: Untitled Beats Vinyl 7″

Heat alert! Most of ya’ll probably knowDez from his dancemusicmoniker (Andres), but there’s a whole other side to the Motor City artist. As DJ Dez, the versatile Detroit producer/DJ has been holding it down on the hip-hop side of things for nearly two decades – cutting and scratching with the best of ’em as DJ for Slum Village, andthrowing down some of the illest beats this side of the MPC. Don’t believe me? Check the soulful chopson the A-side, then get on down to raw and funky boom baps on the flip. Detroitrepresent! Big ups to Root Down RecordsJapan for pressing this up on 45. Recommended.
