Katalyst- What's Happening (2007)

By Baysic
Katalyst is a Australian DJ and producer that produces in a "electronica, turntabilism, and hip hop" mix. Not really like Nujabes, which is Nu-Jazz and I guess, classical hip hop instrumentals. He produces in a different style... see for yourself. "What's Happening" is the only album I've heard from him and I was pretty impressed after hearing it a couple of times. There's only like three tracks with actual rapping, the rest is either soul samples or singers as guest spots.
Features include: J-Live, Diverse, and some Australian rappers I've never heard of (don't worry, they don't have accents...) I merely checked out the album because I thought his name sounded cool and that J-Live & Diverse were on the tracklist... Peep the divshared tracks before the album... you might like it, you might not...
To sum it up, Katalyst's album is a mix of Electronic, Funk / Soul, Hip Hop and Rock.
And there's a dope ass James Brown track... check that out.
