TJ Dumas - TJ's Snowed In Saturday Mix (Keep It Deep Guest Mix)

Mike "Agent X " Clark, Delano Smith, Norm Talley, zählen zu den namhaftesten Vertretern des (Detroit) Beatdown. Immer aktiv mit dabei, doch stets ein wenig im Hintergrund geblieben, ist TJ Dumas. Im Jahr 1999 startete er gemeinsam mit Teri Nguyen die Plattform "Beatdownsounds.com" und etablierte damit eine Plattform für DJs und Produzenten seiner Stadt, die sich ganz der House-Musik verschrieben hatten. Wenige Jahre später, 2002, gründete er gemeinsam mit Delano Smith das Label Mixmode Recordings. Seit dieser Zeit unternahm er auch erste eigene Schritte als Produzent. So konnte er für Jerôme Derradjis Imprint Stilove4Music, dem Tochterlabel von Still Music, einen Track beisteuern - eine Überarbeitung des Chic-Klassikers "I Want Your Love" (anzuhören unter Various Artist - Lost Tracks From Detroit. Weitere Releases sind in Planung.


Enghlish (short) version:

In 1999, TJ Dumas started together with Teri Nguyen Beatdownsounds.com, a website dedicated to strictly Detroit dj's that play house and more over Detroit House! Beatdownsounds.com re-focused needed attention not only to the dj's in Detroit that was bangin out parties but also a certain sound that was emerging out of Detroit. Partnering with Norm Talley, Delano Smith and Mike Clark, Beatdownsounds.com grew to be one of the staples dj-promotions team in the city and country. After Beatdownsounds.com, TJ Dumas partnered with Delano Smith to start MixMode Recordings which saw the release of "Feel This" a deep rich Detroit tune by Delano Smith.

After the release, TJ Dumas wanted to venture into the production end of music so he launched Gabbamonkey Productions, a truely unique Detroit sound, incoporating jazz, techno and deep house into a medley of deep, dance floor sounds made to rock your body. "Want", off of "The Lost Tracks Of Detroit" Still Music - is a remix of Chic's "I want your love" and his debut as a producer. Working with some of the new producers in Detroit, Gabbamonkey Records will be releasing some really hot joints in the very near future!
