Wild City 012: Starfoxxx
19 December 2011
Earlier this year we interviewed Ghettophiles, one of the leading players for the juke/footwork scene's movement and home to some of the most recognised names in juke, footwork, ghetto tech, dub, moombahton and Chicago house. One of these names is Starfoxxx a.k.a Erik, Dave and Fabe, the production trio based out in Chicago. Together they bring a real grassroots sound to moombahton while at the same time producing ghetto bounce and juke. The fusion of their combined experience in the studio allows them to construct dark, sinister sounds mixed with bouncy "booty bass" alongside a global twist.
"Me, coming from a Mexican background, I just love the fact that salsa, cumbia, merengue, and all these Latin influences are starting to show up in this new wave of music. To be honest when I was younger I didn't think cumbia and merengue were cool at all, but the way it's been handled now by all these producers is amazing. I love the flavour and it's nice to get a change in the speed of music, something that feels a bit more chill but doesn't ease up on the heavy bass." - Erick, Starfoxxx
We haven't yet had anything remotely juke/moombahton as part of the Wild City mix series. What better way to kick it off!
