Squelchy Squelchy

I bring to you today, 3 albums by 3 electronic producers. These days there is a constant barrage of electronic "choonage" being thrown around, and in this world of bleeps and bloops, it's hard to sift through the wank and find something that really does stick out. So here be a handy helping erm, hand.

First up, we have the musical stylings of Wagon Christ. His album Musipal is stylistically diverse, musically exciting and contains samples that might make you giggle. Heavy use of sampling chunks of films and various other tv bits and bobs fused with bumbling synths and trip hop beats give Wagon Christ his own unique sound. Opening track "Premise" is a fantastic intro and really does set the whole theme of the album, (which by the way is fantastic throughout). Fresh, acidy, wibbly basslines and the odd drum n bass beat keep the album interesting and mixed up all the way through. But Really if you are planning on downloading just one of these 3 albums, then make it this one. Download!

The second album i'm catapulting towards you is one by British electronica guru Tipper. The Seamless unspeakable something (2006) is an album of chopped twisted beats and most notably, an awful lot of squelching, which is a good think in case you were wondering. They squelchyness is so awesome, and instead of using more words to describe music, i'm just going to go ahead and give you the download. Download!

Thirdly! The album the first got me into the hyperactive spazz child that is Breakcore. Venetian snares - rossz csillag alatt született, and no i haven't a fucking clue how that's pronounced. It's a cascade of ridiculously breakneck beats (lots of amen break chopping) and some of the finest classical music sampling I've ever heard! It's as if Vivaldi got transported to the future and got raped by 60 foot Gorillas... and then he produced a soundtrack to it. So if you feel like you need to release some pent up energy, then stick this on and "Go sick". Honestly, it's great. Download!
