Discovery Project Releases is a regular series featuring exclusive music from Discovery Project Alumni. DPR 019 is Des McMahon’s track “Cowboy Funk”!
Today, Insomniac’s Discovery Project dropped yet another stellar release in their series that highlights contest winners! The 19th release in the series, our ears are tuned to Des McMahon and his sweet Drum n Bass sound with track “Cowboy Funk“. A Los Angeles transplant, this Philadelphia-born, bass music producer has lit things up on dance floors since he inked his first deal at the age of 18. Having released music with notable labels like Ultra Records, Ammunition Recordings, and more, it is no surprise he has been an Insomniac mainstay as of late. You may have caught him taking the stage at major events like EDC Las Vegas and Nocturnal Wonderland this summer, and now he has his own release on Insomniac Records.
“Cowboy Funk” is a liquid DnB track that is smooth as butter, and has breathed some life into a genre that doesn’t seem to get as much play as we would like in the current scene. I personally enjoyed this track for its solid bassline and more melodic chord progression that left me excited for the future of the genre. Hopefully artists like Des McMahon will continue to work hard to build a resurgence in DnB much like what we are seeing now on the opposite end of the spectrum with trance.
