I acquired an MP3 of Mantronik's "Bassmachine Re-Tuned phat girlz mix." I'll be damned if it doesn't sound like Autechre or Gescom made it; it has those skittering, crunching hip-hop beats and twisted noises/samples. I have Kurtis Mantronik's "Mad" which I like quite a bit but what else does the guy have in this crunching style? I'm kinda stunned.

This is a remix of Mantronik's "BassMachine" done by Riz M. a.k.a. Neotropic/Small Fish With Spine under her underused Phat Girlz moniker. I think someone else helped her do this remix, which is ace by the way. Quite a great 12" if you can track it down - It's on Oxygen Music Works. The 12" also includes a remix by Omar Santana that is not all that bad, considering some of his other 'big beat' output. As far as Riz goes, take yer pick of her output. I love it all. stv. mrlumpy@peachfuzz.net
