Brain Drain tomorrow night.

by | Feb 25, 2010 | MUSIC



This month’s BRAIN DRAIN, we bring you a special guest from Philly, who goes by the name of EMYND. While being well versed in many styles of music in his DJ sets, from rap to baltimore club to house, EMYND will also be bringing Richmond a special flavor to this month’s party. His signature New Orleans Bounce set will turn the club into the nastiest place to be on the east coast (see links below). With his own record label Crossfaded Bacon, Emynd is consistently releasing club bangers being played by club heavyweights across the spectrum including the likes of Diplo, Stretch Armstrong, Nadastrom, Tittsworth and the list goes on. Richmond, we are taking the sewer hole to the boss level on this one. Ready set…

From Emynd’s Myspace:

Emynd (pronounced “E-Mind”) is a Philadelphia-based DJ and Producer that has made his mark by successfully producing an extremely wide variety of Club-crushing anthems that range in style from Baltimore Club, New Orleans Bounce, House, and Old School Electro/Bass to traditional Hip-Hop production work with a variety of MCs. While most successful producers are renowned for a single signature sound or style, Emynd’s interests are much too broad to be limited to one sound, forcing him to master an extremely wide variety of aesthetic styles. Emynd’s unique ability to produce tracks in a diverse set of music styles is best illustrated by his motley discography made up of work on the Philly-based boutiqe Label FLAMIN HOTZ; the German Electronic Music label EQUINOX; Diplo’s MAD DECENT; Steve Aoki’s DIM MAK; Independent Hip-Hop Label EASTERN CONFERENCE; legendary Baltimore Club label UNRULY RECORDS; and forthcoming releases on his own label with DJ partner Bo Bliz, CROSSFADED BACON.
