Sadly, the immigration woes of Dublab DJ and L.A. beat scene contributor Kutmah rage on, but the HVW8 gallery/collective has released an apropos pick-me-up.
The free Blazt Off digital mixtape is assembled by Kutmah, and features choice tracks from the three principle members of Master Blazter, a supergroup of sorts featuring D-F (a.k.a. Dâm-Funk), Computer Jay and J1.
The outfit has been credited as Funk's backing band in the past, but this seems to suggest something more official may come from what began as impromptu jam sessions at the HVW8 space on Melrose last year.
Further evidence that things are shaping up for MB:
