Drop the Lime

anyone who's sifted through music blogland over the last few years should be familiar with Trouble & Bass founder Luca Venezia, aka Drop the Lime, aka Curses! probably the forward-thinking artist in the realm of heavy bass, the Brooklyn resident has explored many different genres through his recordings, from glitchy drum 'n bass to superpretty dubstep to wobbly 4/4 bangers. incorporated into much of his Drop the Lime work, Luca is also known for being one of the few (if any) electronic producers who sing on their own tracks - and anyone who's seen DTL live knows that he has a pretty intense and soulful delivery. since most electronic music blogs are generally focused on dance-oriented music, it is primarily the 4/4 side of Luca's work that gets the most attention. however, there are many tracks from his back catalogue of more avant recordings that are serious gems - these two tracks come from the Shot Shot Hearts EP, released on Tigerbeat6 back in 2006. both showcase Luca's unique singing voice and his talent for varied production which surpasses the vast majority of his contemporaries.
