One of the most important factors involved in pleasing the party goers is the disc jockey. They do us a great service by pleasing our eardrums in-between acts, making sure we all keep our dancing shoes in check. This time around for our 4th bday party at Duke's, we will have Gowanda native Chauncey Tails spinning a delightful mix before acts, during, and closing out the night. Chauncey certainly has his chops when it comes to the wide-range of influences working within his own music, not only focusing on more popular genres such as dub-step but also incorporating elements of IDM, house, and trip-hop.
Take, for instance, the songs "waitin 4 2 nite" and "Yr Girls Got a Drug Prob (Instrumental)." Chauncey layers minimally--and that may sound contradictory. He lays down an initial beat, with the former track it's more so four on the floor, and then glitches in a sharp, witty loop that could become repetitive until a gentle, video-game like synthesizer crawls in. It's similar to the likes of L.A. DJ Jonwayne. (See: Bowser.) Chauncey's style doesn't simply focus on strictly dance, he can switch up the groove to something more sensual and laid-back like in his track "Aura Like Aurora," which, simply, is sexy down-tempo at its finest. Below I've inserted his sample mix for the party tomorrow evening (10pm, $5), that flexes a chopped and screwed opening and relaxes into a delightful series mashing up southern-grime and pop.
