Taliesin, “Heavy Sick Mixtape” MP3

The Dutty Artz fellas rack up the global airline miles more than most DJs—seems like DJ/Rupture is always jetting off to Mexico to perform with the dude from the Ex or mixing records in far flung locales, while Matt Shadetek delves into the netherlands of his studio to finish up more Jahdan Blakkamore stuff for fall. And DA affiliate Taliesin just sent us a dispatch from Eastern Europe, where he’s on a DJ tour but still has the grindtime to crank out three rather banging mixtapes in as many weeks. “Heavy Sick,” the latest, was made especially for a new Budapest-based bass blog called Ghetto Bazaar and feels crazy exuberant for its illegal levels of low-end and spastically happy vocals on most tracks—a Dionysian party-zone of sub-levels, shout to your fave maenad Tracklist after the jump, and feel free to read Taliesin’s thoughts on the tape if you are fluent in Hungarian.
