Confession: I came of age in the mid-90's in Athens, GA. I went down there in 1994 to go to the University of Georgia, the main reason for Athens' existence. I was into straight edge hardcore and ska in high school, so I was mighty disappointed when I showed up in that sleepy southern town and found no one else was into the music that made my life seem worth living.
It was 1994, and down the road in Atlanta - and in warehouses, fields, and the occasional country music club after hours all over the country - a new scene was emerging. I went to my first rave in high school, yes, but it was in Atlanta that the culture, and the sense of being a part of something bigger than myself finally coalesced around a specific sound and scene.
For our second City-focused Feature Mix Series, we're focusing on Atlanta, and the vibrant, unique scene that that city has fostered over the last 16+ years. We'll be doing a mix a week, featuring some of the city's most influential djs/producers/promoters, and ranging from a particularly Southern brand of Ghettostep, to the cutting edge sounds of minimal techno, and beyond. Stay tuned, ATL Represents! For me, this is where it all began...
We kick things off in a heavy dubstep style with a mix by Kryptonite: Trillbass Presents the Trilitary Mix Series. BOH BOH BOH!
