Jaybird - What Da Funk!? / What Da Funk!? (6Blocc Remix)

The new single on LoDubs’ remix-driven Special Request sub-label comes from Jaybird. A native of the Philly/Baltimore area, Jaybird first really came into the public eye through his remixes of classic house and techno tunes, which came naturally to him, given his years of history in that scene prior to the advent of dubstep. One by one, Jaybird rolled out floor slaying remixes on dubplate of such classic tracks as CJ Bolland’s ‘Carmargue’, and Goldie’s ‘Inner City Life’, but it was his rework of Cajmere’s 1992 smash ‘Percolator’ that really took him into the top circles of renown among dubstep remixers. Fluidly reapplying the classic coffee pot sound into a hybrid wobble proved to be an infectious invention, and led to the track being a constant staple in the sets of N Type, 6Blocc, and many others. At the same time Jaybird was just as capable of creating his own sound. A little over a year ago, Danish label Kraken released ‘Work Dat Box’, a twisted, menacing synth-and-bass monster that became a standout in many sets, hinting at the visceral energy present in ‘What Da Funk!?’, a track which could which could go down in history as the record that manages to squeeze the most shapes possible out of the iconic Roland 808. On the flip, 6Blocc grabs ahold of the track’s potent raw elements, and instead of taming them, enrages them.
