So, first off...
Maluca, one of the new golden figureheads of Mad Decent has just released a mixtape for free download on the label site. Produced by Oliver Twizt, Mumdance, Ruckazoid, Kevin Seaton, and mixed by Paul Devro, practically every track is refreshingly danceable and interesting. Genre-wise, it's all over the place culturally (mambo de calle shakes to vogue house rhythms) and temporally (old school "undergraund" style "dem bow" to the hip and twitchy production that we have grown used to from the Mad Decent clan). All in all, this complete indifference to actually charting literal historical connections between various types of bass music in exchange for demonstrating their tonal, rhythmic or vibal (yes, I just invented that word) relevance to each other in the all-available signifier web of the internet is a great example of the way the "global base" movement has completely rearranged and re-quantified popular music for us. I don't think DJ Playero would have seen something like this coming in 1995, that's all I'm saying.
p.s. both "China Food" and "Fourescent Beige" are off the hizzay!
Second, let me drag (pun intended) you down into hell for a second with the new Mishka-released "Zombie Rave" Witch House, Drag, whatever mix from ℑ⊇≥◊≤⊆ℜ. Get it here.
That's right, that's his name. But don't stress trying to figure out how to say it, just don that ankh necklace that you haven't worn since NIN was big, splash your Doc Martins with blood and listen to him ssllooww dooooowwwn some real dirty rave shit for you. I think it might be the closest you can come to knowing what a heroine overdose feels like without, well, overdosing on heroine.
Oh, and check out the label if you don't know what I'm talking about.
