     Starting today, Spinning Decks presents Trap Thursdays, one day per week where we bring you nothing but Trap Music.

    Trap music has its roots in southern hip-hop culture, beginning in the late 1990s in Houston, Texas with DJ Screw's "chopped and screwed" technique and his Screwed Up Crew, big fans of slow music and the sophisticated 'Purple Drank.' The success of their music continued with other Southern hip-hop groups including Three 6 Mafia, Cash Money Records, and Crunk Music. With T.I.'s album Trap Muzik and Gucci Mane's Trapholics mix tapes, Trap was ripe and ready for introduction into the Electronic Music world.

    Today, we can see Flosstradamus, Baauer, CRNKN, Tigorilla, LOUDPVCK, and personal friends gLAdiator, emulating this same "chopped and screwed" technique, throwing their own twists and turns into the music, and making this relatively new sound into a true genre of EDM. We salute these and similar artists in their love and dedication to new music!

    We have a Trap and Bass  mix from Thurstin' for you to enjoy. Here's the link to our SoundCloud and the Set List for "I Just Trapped."

First Post

     Welcome to Spinning Decks, a brand new group based in upstate New York, USA dedicated to supporting local DJs and DJs from Skidmore College. Within the week, we will begin posting sets from the DJs we currently support, biographies of each, and giving out dates for upcoming shows in the greater Saratoga Springs, New York. Support is key for any group just starting up, so if you like us, like EDM in general, or just want to show your support for an independent group, "Like" us on Facebook, "Follow"  us on Twitter for updates as they happen, and visit our SoundCloud page to check out the new music going on all the time. (All of these are linked on our sidebar.) If you have any questions, comments, interest in booking the DJs we support, want to talk about Electronic Music, or have any other interest in our cause, please e-mail us at SpinningDecksOfficial@gmail.com.

     Here's a preview of our original design for our Facebook and other websites, as well as our first set of posters and stickers. It will soon be much more finished, colored in, and printed out on stickers, posters, lighters, t-shirts, and whatever else we can find to print them on. Once the final image is out, if you want to order any of our products (and we will have a comprehensive list set up at that time) send us an e-mail with your order and address.

     Our first show is being planned for September 22, 2012 in Saratoga Springs, New York. Keep in touch for updates and a location for the show.
