If you are familiar with FUXWITHIT then you are familiar with DJ Ride. For those of you who aren’t, his latest Lightspeed LP will show you exactly who he is. Hailing from Lisbon, Portugal, Oliveiros Tomás Oliveira is an award-winning scratch DJ and an exceptional producer who is consistently looking to push the envelope as an artist. Lightspeed is jam packed with nine marvelous tracks, containing collaborations on each one except the intro and one other song. As a part of these collaborations we get to experience a culmination of family as DJ Ride works with his brother Holly and fellow Beatbombers member, Stereossauro. The three team up on the title track for this LP, which happens to be my favorite of the entire project as it provides a feeling of hope while also encouraging growth and change. Another standout track would have to be the collab with L*O*J as they are climbing their way through the ranks of the underground, it is a huge look for them to be featured on this creation. Put on your best pair of headphones or plug in your best set of speakers as this needs to be experienced in high quality and as loudly as you can handle it. DJ Ride’s Lightspeed is out now via DOMEOFDOOM and we were grateful enough to catch up with the champion himself for an interview that can be read below.
music is therapy and an escape of reality and it’s helping me a lot in these weird times.
Zero competition (maybe if he scratched we would battle haha), but of course we support each other since our first beats, and he’s a big inspiration and my best friend.
