DJ C (AKA Jake Trussell) tracks have recently appeared on labels such as
Death$ucker and Shockout, and he has produced remixes for luminaries like
MIA and Gregory Isaacs, but it's his work as curator and producer for his fantastic
Mashit label first brought him to our attention as one of North America's preeminent
underground producers. Coming right out of the gates with a style that mashes jungle,
breaks, reggae, and even incorporating tricks from his previous, ambient-IDM project,
EOSS, DJ C is at the forefront of the international, post post post modern genre-mashing
movement. Along with comrade DJ Flack, he co-founded Boston's long-running Beat
Research, experimental party music nights. He and Strategy initially collided while sharing
sides on Shockout releases. DJ C's cultural mixups fit perfectly with ComLib's rigorous
ethic of smashing the musical past into the future and combining unlikely styles into
compelling new forms.
