What's up! My name is Frankie Flores and I am Trst. Super excited to be here, especially with my newest release, Bitch Boyz, just released on Spinnin' Records! You can find that here: https://soundcloud.com/spinninrecords-talentpool/trst-bitch-boyz . I'm just trying to make dope music with some dope people and have a blast doing it. My love for Atlanta rap has really driven me towards producing dance music with any sort of influences taken from Atlanta based rap, whether it is lyrics, rhythm, or just overall vibe. I try to produce as much as possible with as many artists as possible so it's harder to put my music in a single genre. Check it out for yourself with the links below!
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
I actually started music at a young age, starting to be classically trained in the upright bass since 12 years old, eventually shifting towards Jazz when I was 16. This is where I got my music background, but didn't start producing music of my own until college where I took a couple of music courses, being taught by some of my major influences, Zhou Tiang and Ryan Chase. I was always extremely interested in sound design, and was influenced to start producing dance music by some great producers, such as XYConstant, Oliver Nelson, and Stooki Sound. These influences still reside in my music, but my sound eventually developed to include other producers not necessarily involved in dance music, such as Zaytoven, Young Chop, and the Alchemist.
What´s new right now?
I'm actually working on a new track with Tampa artist T-Rova now hoping to get that out soon. I'm also really excited about a new mix series me and Aazure are about to get started on called Undersound Mixes. We're aiming to make it a channel for up and coming producers to submit mixes and introduce our audience to the their favorite underground tracks that most may not know of. We're hoping to help bring these tracks to more listeners, but also help our up and coming artists gain a bit more exposure.
