Dert, a Los Angeles based Hip Hop producer and beat maker, has just released his latest beat tape entitled Talk Strange: A Beat Tape Inspired by Björk.
As the title suggests Dert was inspired by legendary Icelandic artist/visionary Björk. Such inspiration led him in creating this artist-themed beat tape, taking 17 of her dopest tracks and turning them into something truly unique.
The samples and beats on this tape will trip you out. He’s an amazing producer and one that clearly knows his sh*t. It’s easy to grab a bunch of tunes from a dope artist and re-work them, but he’s done this intelligently and as a real music lover. He’s clearly a fan of Björk.

Talk Strange is my first introduction into Dert and after a trip to his Myspace I realised I’ve been asleep for a minute too long. He’s released a bunch of other beat tapes, which I obviously need to cop and be educated on asap. But when I fell upon Talk Strange [during a 4am Internet crawl] I was really intrigued to hear it not only because it was inspired by one of my favourite artists but also (and superficially) because the art work was so freakin dope! Dert is also a graphic designer. Once I downloaded it and got round to listening to it, I pretty much flipped out and desperately wanted to share it.
If you’re a Björk fan, you’ll love this. If you’re not, I still think you’ll really dig it. It’s just so dope. Download and give it a listen, I gaurentee it’ll blow your mind like it did mine.
Peace, Love & Dert
