The 2 Bit Thugs have been causing a stir with their unique brand of 'gangster house' which blends their hip hop background with cone-blowing basslines, rolling 4/4 beats & rudeboy rapping.
We got involved with the thugs early on in their career and it was a wise move. Since then they have gone on to remix some of the scenes top names including The Bulgarian, Kelevra, Jackinori, Matt Cox, Douster and many more.
Their remixes of Jackinori - Ba Bada & Douster - This Shit (A New Hope) are currently racing up the DJDownload charts, and rightly so. So if you haven't been hit too hard by the credit crunch support the cause!
Alongside being remixers du jour their original tracks have pricked the ears of DJs, press and promoters worldwide and have lead to them having an increasingly hectic DJ schedule.
We bagged their cracking basline wobbler 'A Good Look' for A New Hope so keep your eyes peeled and your ear to the ground cause we got some pretty tasty names lined up for the remix duties!
We also just got their remix of B-Rich's banger 'Everyday Hustle' (A New Hope) and it sounds fresh. Check it out on the Thugs Myspace.
But its not all wonk/fidget/gangster house. Rumour has it the Thugs are currently working on an album that will be back to their original hip hop, soul, funk, breaks roots and will feature some collaborations with vocalists from around the globe.
We've been lucky enough to hear a few preliminary tracks and trust us, you won't be disappointed!
When not DJing, remixing or writing their own stuff the Thugs also like to dabble in bootlegs and have a series of 'ReRubs' available; taking tunes they liked and giving them that distinctive 2 Bit touch. Cause we're generous guys and gals here at A New Hope we thought we'd let you grab a copy of the 2 Bit Thugs latest bad boy ReRub...
