La Boix is Thee Mike B and Salva, two absolute legends of the LA scene linking up to make funky tunes.
Thee Mike B has been the backbone of the DJ community for multiple decades, starting off in New York with Stretch Armstrong and migrating West with the help of DJ AM, running the legendary Banana Split party with the latter. Salva is one of the founding fathers of Trap music and has remained the hyper respected producer’s producer, working alongside artists like RL Grime, Kurupt, E-40, ScHoolboy Q, and more. For the La Boix project (pronounced like a distorted La Croix mixed with Les Boys), the pair is clearly having a good ol’ time, chopping up disco samples into micro bits and slamming some intergalactic synths over a kick drum.
Two absolute legends of the LA DJ scene, Thee Mike B and Salva, come together as La Boix (pronounced kind of like… Les Boys?) for some cut-up disco weapons with a whole lotta grit. Forget those slick Youtube production tutorials, kids. These are some chunky sample chops served extra rare, falling somewhere between In Flagranti, Boris Dlugosh and American-French Touch. “Black Razz” is a clavinet stomper, running through some sort of outer-space ringer. “Guava São Paulo” hits you upside the head with some stabs and a benevolent MC instructing you to put your hands together, honey. Yes sir!
