NOW: Thats What I Call Open Format
In less time than one month, SmithAgentSmith has released two absolutely massive mixtapes. NOW: Thats What I Call Open Format is the follow up to Slow Your Roll (Part Dos) and it applies the same type of musical influence as its predecessor: a mix of electro, house, dubstep, pop, and hip-hop. But the way it comes together is nothing like the Slow Your Roll (SYRPD). Just take one look at the tracklist. In SYRPD, Smith stays between 104-109 beats per minute maintaining a similar speed over the course of the entire mix. But in this 100 song, 84 minute mixtape, the Tempo, Genre, and Energy change completely almost every 5 minutes. This mix is the definition of high energy meets open format. With so many songs in such a short amount of time, there is no room to disengage from this mix. Before you decide whether or not you like the track playing, it is onto the next one. But what is unique about the number of songs involved is that these are not mashups, or samples a la Girl Talk, Kap Slap, or even Smith's own style with Slow Your Roll, these are the original tracks (and remixes) from artists as dissimilar as Nicky Romero and Chief Keef; Lauryn Hill and Avicii; or Drake and Alesso. Nearly every track builds from where the track before it left off. Where SYRPD is a melting pot of sounds from different genres, NOW is more like a bento box in which each song gets its own time to shine. It plays out like an 84 minute bootleg. Take a look at the tracklist. If you're not intrigued to hear how Smith smoothly transitions from Tommy Trash to travis Porter, or from Trey Songz to Deniz Koyu, it is probably because you have already played this mix out!
