Salva

Paul Salva's magpie production style is primarily positioned between hip-hop and EDM, although his overall approach incorporates many other genres. 2011's Complex Housing, his debut full-length, affirmed his pick & mix approach to bass subgenres. The producer had a breakout year in 2012, stemming from his rework of Kanye West's "Mercy" alongside RL Grime; the track blew up online, leading to a number of festival appearances and radio shows. Over the next two years Salva went on to release an EP, 2013's Odd Furniture, and a feature-heavy mixtape, Peacemaker. In 2017, he released an open-source beat tape called Clips, which was conceptually ambitious in that he gave free access to the stems and encouraged fans to produce bootleg remixes. ~ Liam Martin
