Refusenik

The onslaught of Buenos Aires DJs continues! After scouring my brain (and the internet) for something to post today, I came across a Myspace bulletin saying that Refusenik had put up some new tracks online. Of course, I had to throw them up.

The first one offers yet another take on "Bombon Asesino", taking Daleduro's version of the cumbia favorite and marrying its infectious notes with the vocals from Missy Elliott's "Get Ur Freak On".

His second new track mashes up the sounds of digital cumbia producer El Remolón with a dancehall cut from Million Stylez.

Although he currently lays his head in Buenos Aires, Refusenik hails from Boston and was actually born in Russia. His DJ sets offer an energetic mix of dancehall, grime, electro, baltimore club, mashups and more. He has also become a sort of international spokesman for Boston bounce, an emerging new subgenre dreamed up by his pals DJ C and DJ Flack, who also run the Beat Research label. Although an exact definition is still being developed, Boston bounce is a bass-heavy, reggae-infused style that sounds something like baltimore house crossed with speed garage. (Click here for a more in-depth description of Boston bounce that DJ C and DJ Flack put together.)

Last weekend Refusenik delivered a blistering set at the insanely-packed Super Zizek. Porteños will have another chance to check him out next month when he gets behind the decks at Revolt.
