Dr. Dre Mixing Engineer First, Producer Second

Whether you're a hip hop fan or not, there's no denying that Dr. Dre's tracks pound. I've been known to track down albums and songs that weren't necessarily produced by Dr. Dre, but even if all he did on them was the mixing. I study that shiz intently. Case in point, his new single 'Kush' supposedly is the lead single of the mythical beast that is the Detox album. I'll believe it when I see it, but when I listened to this track on the crappy 4" tiny speakers in my commuter ride, I couldn't believe how clear it sounded. 4" speakers! This clearly a man who cares about his sound. If you're a producer and you read this blog, go listen to this tune on your studio monitors. Whatever you make of the tune itself, from a sound perspective? Whoa. Related: The Peril's of Too Many Yes Men City of Bass: blogging daily about the electro music scene.
