Max HeyraudWe premiere some fresh new music from dance music pioneer Detroits Filthiest, as they return to Casa Voyager with selection of jazzy, drum and bass, electro, bassy, ghetto type cuts. We premiere the first offering from the EP entitled ‘Perception Of Reality’ which draws on 90’s hip-hop nostalgia while intertwining vintage liquid drum and bass influences.
Detroit’s Filthiest went by many names in the past, DJ Nasty, Digitek, 313 Bass Mechanics were some of his aliases in the ’90s. During this time he was part of a movement from Detroit that established ghettotech as a DJ-style as well as an electronic music genre.
In 2015 he re-entered the game as Detroit’s Filthiest and in 2017 he collaborated with Sinistarr on ‘Yo Speakerz. His ‘Honor Among Thieves EP’ in 2018 provided yet another Detroit infused hit with ‘Funky Sperm’ which amassed over 900,000 plays.
Detroit’s Filthiest’s return to Casa Voyager encapsulates a multi-genre approach to an otherwise cohesive EP. ‘Accept No Substitute’ follows his 2021 release for the label, ‘Imitated Never Duplicated’. Once again he fuses both jazzy and bassy D&B, Electro, Breaks and Ghettotech stylings like no other. Probably the ultimate Detroit’s Filthiest record on Casa Voyager.
‘Perceptions Of Reality’ leans on jittering breakbeats, cavernous bass, drifting pads, and synth-lines that reek of 90’s west-coast nostalgia. Perception of Reality is soothing and comforting, and for one reason or another makes me want to buy a corvette, just so I could listen to this track with the roof down. Detroit’s Filthiest at his finest.
