Lost In Sound Reviews InfinitiRock's 17Years



InfinitiRock (Chester Anand) has just begun his ascent. This young-but-impressive producer out of Red Hook, NY has just had quite the 18th birthday. After signing with Base Trip Records-an independent label blooming out ofAllston, MA-InfinitiRock officially released his 40-track beat tape to the universe. Experimenting and fusing hip-hop, electronic, and tape music has been his passion since he made his first beat for his older brother to rap over at the age of 5. Before it was even legal for him to buy a pack of smokes, he has already amassed an arsenal of hundreds of beats. Work from artists such as Madlib, J Dilla and Flying Lotus have helped InfinitiRock to become familiar with what makes a small beat have a powerful impact.

Nostalgia (First Release)

Not many people know this, but the first "official" Base Trip Records release essentially consisted of us handing out 100 copies of our home-recorded sampler CD for free at Splash, Boston University's student activities expo for freshmen.

Every single CD we burned was placed in a unique, elaborately decorated brown paper lunch bag that included: the name Base Trip Records, the track listing, our myspace link, and a Dum Dum lollipop.

This is the absolute first album we ever gave away (notice the #1 at the bottom). My incredibly cool and artistic sister Anne decorated it. (You can't see this, but on the inside, our myspace link is coming out of a genie's lamp).



Thanks for all your support.

Love,

Conor
