Nuklear Prophet

Hailing from downtown Los Angeles, Nuklear Prophet aka Erik Villalpando is heavily influenced by West Coast hiphop and electro. Winning multiple DJ awards, including 3x World Records DJ Competition under his DJ Dope-E alias, Villalpando cites his inspiration as coming from some of the most influential Los Angeles DJs of his childhood including Tony G, DJ Joe Cooley, Julio G, and DJ Aladdin.

With releases on Urban Connections, Abseits Recordings, Diffuse Reality and Bass Agenda Recordings as Nuklear Prophet, this new EP features remixes from West Coast electro legend Egyptian Lover, Germany's Dynamik Bass System, and DOC Nasty. This EP arrives ahead of his forthcoming full-length U-TRAX album Prophecies 11:21.

Leading the EP, Nuklear Prophet’s original version of L.A. Rockz features a verse from early NWA affiliate Krazy Dee and vocals from Nasim, forming a track that echoes the classic electro sounds of luminaries like Afrika Bambaata with a contemporary twist. Egyptian Lover’s remix follows, twisting the original into a funked-out jam, with the DJ/producer’s classic 808 work nestled amongst vocoders and squelching basslines.
For DOC Nasty’s Miami Bass version, the Fort Lauderdale based DJ/producer injects Florida-inspired energy into his interpretation, bringing a high energy Miami bass take. Rounding out the release is Germany’s Dynamik Bass System, with a melodic remix bringing a synth-heavy production around elements of the original.
