Here at Black Is we are big supporters of Vikter Duplaix. His music and style have defined him as one of the tastemakers of our generation. And let us not forget, he is one of the founders of what we consider LA’s greatest party, Kiss N’ Grind. Now, he’s come to us with a new, hot mixtape exclusively for TheFuture.fm!
Weaving global culture, independent thought, fine arts and progressive music into a purely golden lifestyle, Duplaix’s raw DJ skills were honed on the streets of Philadelphia along with turntable legends DJ’s Jazzy Jeff and Cash Money.
In this mix series called “The Modern Textures Vol. 1” Duplaix gives a visually rhythmic and melodic experience. Essentially, it’s about sounds that move you and take you places. This particular mix begins with a deep house music flow then it breaks down into an atmospheric beat generation/mid-tempo futuristic groove. This mix will hopefully give you enough of each song to enjoy the creativity of each track and wet your palette for more.
