1:01amBarbi

no...electrofunk, electrobass, jungle, break dance electro
1:01ampendar

nice
1:01amBarbi

never a website...never truly realised properly

Cryogenetic is Mitchell

Cryo now

what happened was ...Dj Godfather discovered him and put out an e.p. on Twilight 76 for him...an e.p. that was half electro and half ghettotech
1:02ampendar

nice
1:03amBarbi

this was like..i think at the beginning of the millenium

godfather was supposed to put more out for him but vinyl sales weren't that great and then serato came out

so mitchell always had these releases on Intellegenix..but couldn't really sell them properly..up until now...
1:04ampendar

1:09ampendar

drug sniffin dogs

naming a party that in the summer.. so jokes
1:09amBarbi

yeah

haha

there's a myspace for it

http://www.myspace.com/drugsniffindogz

these mashups were recorded in one night just with 2 turntables and a mixer..no computer..oldschool style...i was there when he did it

as u can tell...he mashes 80's instrumentals with crunk rap accapellas

he did this almost 6 years ago just for fun
1:12ampendar

dope.. intelligenix website
1:12amBarbi

i wish...coming soon..working on it

we just have a myspace that we just started...

i'm still working on getting new branding and all that stuff

like i said..this label lied dormant up until Dj Godfather gave us a label deal

it's fairly new...but it's exciting cuz now we're gonna use it as a way to get underground canadian artists out there

it's a good stepping stone for new artists that just wanna get out there...
1:15ampendar

how far and in what capacity does intelligenix reach the world?
1:15amBarbi

well...we're on Beatport, Amazon, Juno, itunes, napster...everywhere..

actually i'll give you the link to our distribution

http://www.electrobounce.com/distribution/distribution/distribution.html
1:16ampendar

promo to the world? radio, mag, promoters?
1:16amBarbi

they're not all processed yet but eventually it will get in every single one of these
1:18amBarbi

electrobounce.com is the main page we work through...that's dj Godfather's digital label...we have a deal with him..as u can see there are some really reputable music labels that in the past had been clearly careful with who they associate their names with

like..the whole catalogue of Submerge and Underground Resistance has signed the same label distro deal that we have

Dominance Electricity has always been one of my fave dark electro labels...

it's kind of like a mini beatport for specific kind of producers...mainly those who make real electro, booty,ghettotech and juke music

but of course they wanna branch out...that's why they're working with u..


1:22amBarbi

dj Godfather said himself that electrobounce.com was created cuz sites like Beatport weren't showcasing enough of these underground sounds on their main page...no features..etc
1:22ampendar

golden
1:23amBarbi

so he created this for his people

for the Juke producers in Chicago...

for the deep detroit techno heros that paved the way

for the original ghettotech producers...for DETROIT and CHICAGO underground sounds

it's prestigious...respectful...and totally the way wanted to go...
1:24ampendar

oh.. were going to demf together right?
1:24amBarbi

yes we are!!
1:25ampendar
