I first met Queen City duo Styles and Complete at SXSW this year during Austin Party Weekend and immediately gravitated towards thier southern fried mix of hip hop and electronic. Alex and Austin, otherwise known as A-Styles and DJ Complete, have carefully crafted their debut EP Legalize It infusing heavy bass with trap highhats, exhilerating drops, and a call to action for all cannabis lovers!
Watching Styles and Complete bring the heat at our IHC Interactive Party, I could see they were on the path for success. Working the audience with heavy drops and slow builds A-Styles and DJ Complete orchestrated one hell of a party. The new three track EP Legalize It gives you a good idea of what to expect from this duo in the future. The title track Legalize It gives new life to a classic dub hook reminding us “If the Earth can provide it/ You got to legalize it” perhaps a perfect new slogan for the California initiative. Track two, They Want It, immediately sinks in the hooks with a slow groove melody that transitions into heavy bass and dark intense synth lines. Finishing strong, Girl Scout Cookies could be the new stoner anthem for 2014 with a chopped trap hook “Smokin’ Girl Scout Cookies / Got a pound of OG Kush!” Best of all they’ve released their debut EP for free download just in time for 4/20 so cop Legalize It now and keep a look out for Styles and Complete as they may be making their way west someday soon!
