Under Construction – NFC changing to new site. Thanks

As Justice tours the universe and Kanye co-ops whatever he can get his hands on, the guitar electro sounds has begun its descent into the mainstream. Soon (if it hasnt already happened), you will see guitar electro acts beyond Justice entering top 40 playlists, on “Wow Thats What I Call Music” compilations and belted out through college bar karaoke sounds systems. It will be used to sell hemorrhoid creams and juice boxes and be heard blaring from high rise condo balconies and minivan windows. Such is the inevitable demise of the successful underground sound. From this inevitability arises a new inevitability; the question, “Whats next?” Major label A&R people, as I write this, are sitting at their desks in their shiny suits beading the blogs, digging through myspace and calling their younger, hipper friends trying to determine what and who will be the new big thing. At the same time, older, established artists are starting fresh with new sounds, new influences and new collaborations in an effort to stay current.

Anyone who has ever watched the birth of a genre before knows that it almost always grows from the youth; the fresh perspective. Well, I’d like to present a candidate for that new sound in the form of new-comer Harvard Bass. Clocking in at a measley 21 years of age, this San Diegoan seems to have stumbled, with his first original track, on a hell of jackin’ banger. If you have been through LA recently, you might recognize him as Sleazy V often seen amongst folk such as Paparazzi, Acid Girls, Johnny Love and so on. It’s interesting to me that someone that has come up in the blog house scene then comes back with straight up jackin’ house. I wonder if its a trend. I wonder if the pattern will persist and other young post bloghouse producers will follow suit. Regardless, this tune kills on the floor and I can’t wait to see what else ol’ Harvard Bass has got up his sleeve.
