Aggressive turntablism fused with heavy bass and cinematic manga aesthetics. High-energy hybrid trap that feels like an urban samurai showdown.
Tha Trickaz deliver a high-octane collision of old-school turntablism and futuristic bass music. Their sound is defined by a relentless energy that bridges the gap between the gritty boom-bap of 90s hip-hop and the bone-shaking low end of modern dubstep and trap. It is music that feels inherently visual, often drawing from Japanese manga and cinematic tropes to create a sense of grand, digital mythology.
What sets them apart is their technical foundation as 'Vietnamists' - a nod to their heritage and their mastery of the MPC and turntables. Unlike many electronic producers who rely on pre-programmed loops, their tracks retain a tactile, hand-played quality. You can hear the physical snap of the pads and the precise friction of the needle on vinyl, even amidst the most polished, maximalist synth arrangements.
Start with 'Cloud City' for a perfect introduction to their world-building capabilities, or dive into 'AKUMA' if you want to experience their most aggressive, floor-filling bass work. It is the ideal soundtrack for anyone who wants the technical complexity of a scratch DJ paired with the sheer power of a mainstage electronic act.
