AUGUST 2022 * ANTWERP/MECHELEN
Last year, Kleine Crack, an Antwerp rapper, delighted his fans with a unique opportunity to purchase his unreleased mixtape titled "Donker Mane", produced by Slagter Beats, for a symbolic price of €6,66. Known for his Memphis-style beats and raps, Kleine Crack has been making waves in the underground hip hop scene. This exclusive offering allowed his fans to access a collection of tracks that hadn't been officially released, providing them with a glimpse into the artist's creative process and musical evolution.
One of the notable occurrences following the release was the remix of a track from "Donker Mane" by Foubert, a DJ and producer from SAFEHOUSE Records. Foubert, known for his diverse musical taste and experimentation, took the opportunity to create a Schranz edit of one of Kleine Crack's tracks. The resulting remix offered a fresh perspective on the original song, infusing it with elements of the Schranz genre.
Schranz is a style of techno music that emerged in the late 1990s and gained popularity in Germany. It is characterized by its hard, fast-paced beats, heavy basslines, and aggressive synth patterns. Schranz tracks often incorporate distorted and industrial sounds, creating a dark and intense atmosphere on the dancefloor. The genre is known for its energetic and driving nature, making it a favorite among fans of harder electronic music.
Foubert's Schranz edit of Kleine Crack's track added a new dimension to the original, enhancing the intensity and injecting it with a raw and relentless energy. By blending the Memphis-style rap with the hard-hitting elements of Schranz, the remix showcased the versatility and willingness of both artists to explore different musical territories.
Overall, the collaboration between Kleine Crack and Foubert exemplifies the creative spirit within the music industry, where artists from different genres and backgrounds can come together to create unique and innovative sounds. It also highlights the artist's willingness to experiment and push boundaries, providing his fans with an exciting and diverse musical experience.
Foubert's Donker Mane edit is now available for streaming exclusively on SoundCloud.
