About Me |

| Here is a little treat that Mad Decent put up on youtube with our song Twelve; sorry only the first 1:12 is ours.
SRC gave the world Riddims like: Clappas, Red Alert, Bionic Ras, Chinkuzi, etc. They have produced Dancehall music's biggest artists including Beenie Man, Elephant Man, Bounty Killer, Capleton, Lady Saw, Mr. Vegas, Ce'Cile, Mr. Easy, Sizzla, T.O.K., and the list goes on. They have become known as Dancehall's most innovative producers, bringing a fresh new sound which the top European DJ's have titled Electro-Dancehall. Dow Jones has another alias, “King of the cut,” given to him by some of Jamaica's biggest producers, for South Rakka's ability to 'chop up', and rearrange songs creating new and exciting mixes. Although the team is based in Orlando Florida, they hail from Southern Canada. Growing up in Toronto, and Mississauga Ontario has given them an edge, explains Dow Jones. “I was born in Jamaica but grew up in Canada. Alex G and myself grew up in a very multicultural environment. We have been exposed to many genres of music. At different times in my life I was into Top 40, Reggae, Pop, Hip Hop, Disco, House, Dancehall, Bass, Freestyle, Dance, R&B, Jungle, New Wave, Rave, Rock, Salsa, Merengue, Electro., etc., and I know Alex G has a much more extensive knowledge of music than myself. This is what gives us our sound." This 'sound' has earned them high accolades in the remix world as well, and from a very eclectic list of artists, including: Bob Marley, Duran Duran, DJ Shadow, Lily Allen, Beck, T.O.K, Mr. Vegas, Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, Bounty Killer, T-Pain, R. Kelly, Twista, Good Charlotte, Shakira, Alicia Keys, and Chris Brown. The team worked together in Canada, but struggled with the compromises they had to make due to the industries lack of interest in domestic urban music. Alex G moved to Florida to do some production work for Base music rappers 95 South and a then unknown Pop group called NSYNC. Dow Jones quickly followed and although he had always dabbled in Dancehall, was producing Latin Rap before his relocation. So what's next for SRC? Dow Jones explains, “We are a very dynamic production house; constantly evolving. Something we have always wanted to do but have never had the opportunity was touring. We started in the summer of 2007; immediately spinning in some of the planets hottest clubs like Fabric in London (UK), and Studio B in Brooklyn NY. We have toured in Canada, Sweden and coming up in the next few months we will tour the US, Scotland, UK, Sweden, Australia, and South America. We will see you soon.
