The rise of Team Supreme has been one of the most captivating stories in stateside dance music over the past couple of years. The sizable Los Angeles-based posse of producers and DJs has quickly made a name for itself on the back of a progressive, fresh take on beat scene thematics, while acts like Djemba Djemba, Penthouse Penthouse, Two Fresh, and AWE have catapulted to the upper echelons of the underground.A major part of the Team's ascent has been its beat cyphers, collections of beats submitted by squad members and beyond, held together by thematic rules and selected by Team Supreme brass. They've proved to be a fertile meeting ground for developing producers, and perhaps more importantly, have resulted in some absolutely fuego tunage on 128 separate occasions.For Team Supreme's Cypher vol. 129, THUMP has taken on curation duties.
