Gunnin For a Home Runnin

New local fire by Peter Gunn, comin’ correct with a housey mutant bass joint. Some hype, skittery percussion courtesy of a Michel Polnareff break. Gunn resides in Sunnyside Queens, home to “Irish bars that play either traditional Irish music, bad classic rock, or euro pop/trance.” Definitely not a source of inspiration for dude. Dizzie Rascal’s first album was more important, which put him onto the whole UK bass thing. Pete used to spin at Pure Fire, a night held at the fly APT club, where you could hear grime, hip hop, dubstep and dancehall. Unfortunately APT recently got shut down. You can still catch Gunn around the interwebs, either on his Web site or his radio show which airs Mondays from 8-9PM on Viva-Radio. And peep his Soundcloud page for some of his grime flavored beats. The Gunner also asked us to post the dark roller “Le Matador (VIP)” as a sort of B side to “Mayger,” since it also rocks a French sample and has a house BPM. (Photo by Josef Breitenbach.)
