Philadelphia’s DJ Bombe and Mr. Caribbean mash-up James Blake and Drake
Pitchfork just shouted out Philly artists Bombé and Mr. Caribbean for their most recent creation: a mash-up of James Blake and Drake music called James Drake. Bombé (who also goes by Kid Queazy) specializes in house, 2-step, garage, tropical, club, and future bass; Mr. Caribbean is involved in Philly R&B. Given Blake’s status as a top dubstepper and Drake’s penchant for emotional summer jams, it seems like perfect timing. Caribbean calls the mash-up “a soundtrack for sippin’ Robitussun & Alize in an abandoned Cathedral, covered in a velvet blanket with a sexy stranger on a dark night…” We’re taking his word for that. —Dave Simpson
