Here to bless our ears with a violent dose of industrial strength sub bass and cataclysmic IDs, Andre Kouchekey (AKA Snuffy) has assembled a potent display of his current style. The Bay Area raised mastermind has been honing his craft for the past few years from the hills of San Luis Obispo to the depths of Chico California, weaving all kinds of ludicrous sounds into his beats. As one of the forefathers of Good Nature Collective, the 24 year old has been shaking things up for the west coast bass music scene as he continues to push the next wave of wubs forward. Following a string of consistently turbulent releases on collectives such as Donât Die At Work, JadĆ« Dala, Hybrid Trap, and [SUS] COLLECTIVE and teaming up with the dons Milano, Adiidas, leet, bd hbt and more, itâs evident that the man is just getting started.
Snuffy takes us on a voyage through the signature Good Nature sound in this exclusive guest mix, showcasing just a sample of his stacks of unreleased music waiting to be unleashed. Keep your eyes peeled for a swarm of dangerously spicy collaborations and originals coming from this powerhouse. We also caught up with Snuffy for a quick interview where discussed his favorite samples, collaborations, goals and more.
Whatâs been making you smile recently?
My cat, she’s been a real good girl lately.
Favorite animal sound youâve ever sampled?
A pig squealing, possibly the hardest Iâve ever laughed working on a part of a song.
Youâve had a ton of collaborations over the years. Whatâs your favorite part about working with various artists?
I think working with others is where most of my growth comes artistically and technically. So probably just learning new things/better ways to do things.
How did Good Nature come to be?
We were a group of party DJs in San Luis Obispo, California [Milan, bd hbt (Sam Delgado), myself, and only child (Duncan)]. One day while Milan and I were getting jiggy at the burn we discussed the idea of working all together and started drafting names on the spot. We eventually settled on Good Nature and never really looked back, everyone supported it.
I think the best part of bass music culture are the people that make up the community.
Whatâs the best part about west coast bass culture?
I think the best part of bass music culture are the people that make up the community. So much love, and I can seriously say its led me to meet some of the most beautiful people in the world.
What other genres have you been bumping recently?
Iâve been bumping a lot of rap, techno/house, and very recently more DnB!
You’ve always had your finger on the pulse of bass music trends. Who are some of your favorite slept-on artists that need to be on our radar?
Shucks thanks <3. To list a few: CAMBOT, BrĂo, L*o*J, no doz, gloom., LYNY, Edekit.
You’ve had a ton of gigs the past couple years. What was the coolest set youâve ever played?
That’s super hard honestly, every show is such a unique experience. Either emissions festival this year, or nightlife savings last year. Oh shit or stoke the world because we just had so many members of Good Nature there to share music.
…one thing I hate is how political it is, and how hard it is to find a decent paying job lmao.
Whatâs one thing you love and one thing you hate about the music industry?
One thing I love about the music industry is that you meet a lot of cool people, but one thing I hate is how political it is, and how hard it is to find a decent paying job lmao.
What are your goals for Good Nature & Snuffy?Â
I have recently been planning shows in northern California for locals and Good Nature artists to showcase their music, but also trying to plan Good Nature showcases all up and down California in the next few months. Snuffy has transformed quite a bit over the passed year, and I only intend on making more music as I finish school here in December and move to southern California.
Any releases we can look forward to?
Yes, most definitely! I have a big yojas. collab coming soon, as well as a cool remix of ‘Moontoys’ by L*o*J. I got a collab coming out with no doz, and a few more with my cousin rymani so stay tuned <3 <3 <3.
Anything else you’d like to share with us?
Huge shoutout to Tony Castillo for pushing me to make a mix, and shoutout FUXWITHIT and all the homies who sent me music for this
