Totally Killing It Productions brings an underground creative vibe and actual studio chops to the mixing desk.
<Bio>
Nassau, The Bahamas in 1986
“Having had Tyrone Downie and Jr Murvin school me in proper Reggae grooves and musicality as a young recording engineer, Totally Killing It always tries to uphold the raw anything can happen vibe and proper Dub rhythms of classic tracks while moving the sound forward.”
Our early beat mashups were among the first to mix sound efx such as jet planes, gun shots and crowd sound with our own hip hop beats and received support and exposure from DJ Omar Santana. In the studio, we engineered for seminal remixers Arthur Baker, Francois Kevorkian, Shep Pettibone and Jellybean.
