Panda ExFresh - Cumulus, SUB:merged - Bass Music - Cleveland, OH

An endangered species born deep within the Communist grip of North Korea, Panda ExFresh; AKA Kim Jong Trill refused to be ruled. He fought in the jungle for years using Panda tactics and eating bamboo. Finally, he managed to stage a daring escape across the DMZ in 1990.

Now residing in beautiful Cleveland, Ohio, Panda has turned his resent for the communist regime of North Korea into a love of heavy bass music. People have even gone so far as to name a new sub-genre of dance music after his style: "Communist Bass." This Communist Bass is a very low-end, sub-bass driven style full of deep, dark, & minimal sounds.
