Wild City #261: OG SHEZ
Ahead of the sophomore edition in her party series Culture Club, OG SHEZ sets the tone with her Wild City mix. It moves from rising Shillong rapper Reble's just-released track 'Praying Mantis' and an edit of Travis Scott to the Punjabi dance number 'Jersey Jhoomer' and a Cardi B edit – all within the first 4 minutes. Evidently, the Mumbai DJ moves fast, quick-cutting through disparate genres but with a common bounce. 10 minutes in with the cinematic rhythmic layers of 'Ganga Riddim', the mix shifts more into layering, building grooves through works from homegrown talents such as Karan Kanchan, noni-mouse, tricksingh and even Rajah Betta's recent Apache Indian flip 'ChokL8' before ending the journey with Drake and The Weeknd collaboration 'Crew Love'. OG SHEZ brings recognisable voices but, like a true DJ, elevates their individual merit till they slam hard together for the dancefloor.
