The creator of the 'scratch guitar' style.
As of late Genie has delved into an evolution of scratch guitar in which he samples some of his favorite artists and weaves them into genie remixes, or as he call's them 'gemixes'. Unlike typical live remixing involving the use of software such as Ableton Live, Genie samples everything live using a Line6 DL4 loop-pedal and freaks it with no laptop. The Gemixes (pronounced "...gee! mixes") features various genres including world music, dubstep, hip hop, electronica, reggae, and jazz. Some of the artists he draws samples from are Cheb I Sabbah, DJ Krush, Bassnectar, The Cure, Breakbeat Buddha, Modeselektor, Radiohead and various more obscure sources.
A collection of hard-to-find tracks from Soul Sugar is an essential addition to the dub and reggae group's catalogue of classics. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 22, 2021
