HOT SHIT: Cosmin TRG - Love 2 Hide

Cosmin TRG has been one of my favorite low-key producers since 2008. Starting in the low-frequency spectrum of dubstep bass, he's evolved from that into making a sort of hi-tek funky house soundscape. With his upcoming appearance at Unsound Festival New York's Bass Mutations event, highlighting this amazing track is the least I can do. Download link below.

Also, check out his website for an exclusive freebie (320!) off his upcoming Tempa EP, Never Too Far.

P.S. - I will be moderating a panel for Unsound Festival New York, highlighting some Bass Mutations artists, discussing bass culture from a worldwide standpoint and the evolving mutations of what used to be called "DUBSTEP". More info on Unsound Fest NYC HERE.
