Contakt & Mayster Present An Exclusive Mix via Dutty Artz (MP3)

Some dancefloor madness from two burgeoning producers on a wicked label. 

It’s been a wild ride for TURRBOTAX residents Contakt and Mayster. While both producers have been part of running one of the most-lauded and eccentric monthly events in New York, they’ve also been hard at work making some serious bass-y business. Earlier in 2011, we were treated to Contakt’s debut release, Not Forgotten on the distinguished Local Action label. This time around on the all-encompassing Dutty Artz label, they bring us their newest output, Korak, which is a progressive stance on the sounds both Contakt and Mayster have been experiencing sonically on the floor as well as their own environments. Strong from start to finish, the EP is only a teaser of what’s to come from each producer. To celebrate its release –along with giving them an excuse to jam out some exclusive cuts– they’ve given URB a mix exclusive,  thanks in big part to the lovely people at Dutty Artz. Peep the mix and tracklist down below.

His debut album Bible Eyes is the first artist album from L-Vis 1990's and Bok Bok's collaborative London label Night Slugs.
