Far East Movement
Jan 7, 2013
"Dirty Bass is LA electro--rap meets Miami booty shake meets Dutch house and the lifestyle that embodies that" says Kev Nish. "You don't need a fancy whip, but as long as your stereo is bumping, everything's alright."
But really, Dirty Bass is the Far East Movement. Raised in Koreatown, Los Angeles, Kev Nish, Prohgress, J-Splif, and DJ Virman embody the pulse of contemporary Los Angeles: the pan-global fusion, the exotic and traditional rhythms, the idea that car stereos are castles. This has always been the idea behind the Cherry Tree/Interscope artists who made history when 2010's platinum-selling "Like a G6" was the first #1 hit ever achieved by Asian Americans.
Their last album Free Wired was attuned to the high voltage frequencies of their Internet and social media--savvy fast life in downtown Los Angeles. It's overwhelming success ensured tours with everyone from Rick Ross to La Roux, Lil Wayne to Lady Gaga, Rihanna to LMFAO. They performed "If I Was You (OMG)" at the 2011 Billboard Music Awards with Snoop Dogg, and their other top 10-smash "Rocketeer" at NBA All--Star Weekend.
Dirty Bass is built to be bumped on every boulevard, from the club to just chilling with your crew. If the cliché insists that artists are supposed to include something for everyone, the Far East Movement make it seem effortless. Mashed together, their tastes and interests are wide-ranging enough to resonate with tens of millions across the world. Their music is just fun. This summer prepare for the takeover of Dirty Bass.
