Recently, NYC DJ/Producer J. Rabbit’s been kicking down doors and taking names with his aggressive style and dance floor savvy on a slew of DnB and dubstep remixes and originals. On his latest release, Rabbit takes a trip to the movies, drawing on two counter-culture classics to provide the backdrop for two ripping drum and bass workouts.
In an homage to the late Dr. Hunter S. Thompson, the 1998 Johnny Depp picture based on his work, and to excess in general—Somewhere Around Barstow is a high-energy, drug-fueled rollercoaster ride across the desert in one of Rabbit’s most unique productions yet. After Thompson (Depp) catalogues he and Dr. Gonzo’s assortment of “uppers, downers, screamers, and laughers”, Rabbit rips a fat bass line and is off, blazing across the dance floor with a tough jump-up DnB stepper. Soon enough, though, the drugs wear off—or others are ingested (we’re not sure which)—and Somewhere grinds down to menacing, choppy dubstep cadence. Rabbit calls the re-up man at the break, and is off to the races again. But soon enough, the high wears off and the grime returns, leaving the dance floor spent and confused, but ultimately happy.
On the flip, Rabbit ups the ante with Bopper Shuffle. Here we trade the relative desolation of the Nevada desert for the mean streets of The Bronx, where the omnipresent “D.J.”, from the 80’s cult classic The Warriors, starts the dance in this crunchy, aggressive DnB banger. Metallic synths box with a gritty bass line as dancers battle their way across enemy turf to the relative safety of Coney Island. Just like in the movie, the trip is not without its cuts and bruises. However, with Rabbit’s aggressive style and Ajax’s fists in tow, Bopper Shuffle will leave anybody who tries to get in its way very, very sorry.
