DJ Chunk is Killing the Wheelz of Steel Repping C17 on His 3rd Solo EP “Soul Spill” (EP Review)

DJ Chunk is 31 year old DJ & producer from Utah notable for being the tour DJ for Ouija Macc & an in-house producer for the Psychopathic Records subsidiary Chapter 17 Records. He even has a couple solo EPs under his belt in the form of the Vinyl Days duology & most notably did a collab EP with C17/PSY in-house producer Devereaux at the Gathering of Dreams called Another Day in Hell, which I was very favorable towards. But when his 3rd EP was announced last weekend, I wanted to give it a listen.

“Official Redrum” starts us off with the C17 DJ showing us his skills on the turntables over a trap instrumental from Deadboy Grim who did the entire EP whereas “City on Fire” provides a slower, more morbid atmosphere to the beat looking to burn the entire town to the ground. The instrumental on “Don’t Make Threats” has this cloudy trap vibe that I like to it a lot allowing DJ Chunk himself to continually kill it with the scratches while “Imma Break It” looking to break it down for the slow muhfuckas with solemn trap production & Chunk’s wheelz of steel. “Don’t Need Nobody Else” ends the EP on some mystical trap shit & impressively scratching vocal samples 1 more time.

I’ve already reviewed a handful of beat tapes in the past, but I’ve never actually covered a turntablism project before up until this point although I absolutely loved The X-Ecutioners. Now in regards to Soul Spill here, DJ Chunk is basically continuing what we’ve seen from him in the past on both Vinyl Days EPs showing off his dope techniques on the 1s & 2s in time for Hallowicked season with Deadboy Grim’s production here resulting in being on par with what Mythic Mindz consisting of Chapter 17/Psychopathic Records in-house producers Devereaux & Shaggytheairhead have laid out for him the past.
