Damn this dude is dope. Seriously one of the most jumpy, bouncy beat-makers I've heard in a while. Originally from Paris, Debruit has toured all over Europe and the US, including an upcoming appearance at Music Ecology in Boston soon! His sound utilizes a severely chopped blend of African sounds, vocoder effects, and crazy synth noises, all on top of slightly staccato/off-beat hip hop beats. Really solid, funky stuff, definitely one of my favorite new artists.
As an indicator of how talented this dude is, he released this album within 4 DAYS of the Haitian earthquake as a benefit album. So, even though most of the stuff I post about here I post free links to, this one you should pay for. It's for a good cause - 100% of the proceeds go to Haitian relief funds. Used a bunch of Haitian music samples on top of it. Don't sleep, this guy is wayyy too funky.
