donna summer - the unrelenting songs of the 1979 post-disco crash - cock rock disco (.com)
hyper real-sample mashups, with edited jerky breaks that smell of being swiped
from a varied record collection, and a desire to say fuck off to the conventions of style.
the closest comparison i can make is doormouse, "the album" or the have a few get some "s/t" LP
with his combination of strange noises and stranger samples, hard beats and breaks, and also the ability to go from goat-throwing sample metal to tricked out jazz percusson in the bat of an eye.
but i can also feel touches of hrvatski, stuntrock, and dirty,mashup pop remixing ala kid606, albiet not in a straightforward DSP+accapella style. aside from the comparisons though, the disk stands on its own flava, which absorbs everything in its path and expells something fresh and rocking'.

OVe-NaXx - ovnx shoot accel core - accelmuzhik 2002
so i hear from my wrecked partners in crime that theres some package for me
at their house addressed to wrecked, from JAPAN. i'm like yeah i have to check this out.
it turns out to be a demo from isao sano, from osaka, who goes by OVe-NaXx, which
will soon be released as the first release on accelmuzhik. first, i'll say this is a really excellent
disc. its chock full of uptempo jams, which combine elements of squarepusheresque
hyper drill'n'melody, grinding breakbeat hardcore, and doubled up dancehall jungle
riddim. you get a touch of japanese videogame youth flavor in the mix, which pushes
the feel more to the cute/melodic end of the spectrum than the harsh/hardcore side.
the last cut a sweet piece of mutating broken rave/videogame flavor with a jagged hiphop edge.
if you like bogdan, joseph nothing, and squarepushers less jazzy moments check this out.
