Since DAD's inception, Branchez has been an artist that we've stuck by. Dude hit our radar during the summer of 2012, aka the summer of trap (although we know he's not a fan of that term), but to his benefit he's shown that he's not bound by the flavor of the month genres out there. He's one of those cats who we knew was underrated, and the second half of 2013 showed him rising to the electronic music scene's attention, with mixes for Toddla T, Triple J, and was a part of Zeds Dead's massive Altered States tour during the fall. Add that to remixes for Mat Zo and What So Not (as well as his magnificent bootleg of Rihanna's "Stay"), and we have a feeling his 2014 will be vanglorious. To cap off his 2013, he was given a slot on Diplo & Friends and dropped an hour-long masterpiece, mixing in cuts from Kaytranada, D!RTY AUD!O, Tchami, and other DAD favorites alongside gems like the Harmonimix of "Changes" and more. Dude has a gift, and we're glad he's displaying it.
