If you want to go globe-trotting, Dutty Artz is the record label for you. Founded by DJ/Rupture and Matt Shadatek, their sound incorporates aspects of dancehall, hip-hop, grime, reggae, traditional African music, and seemingly anything else that doesn't have a straight beat. They're bringing a showcase to Beat Research, the go-to for experimental party music, so expect your horizons to be widened more than a little. Matt Shadatek himself will be headlining, supported by DJ Ripley, Chief Boima and the mysterious live electronic duo the Sublings. It's gonna be funky.
