bleurgh

Everyone's gone home really, sucks a lot. Moving in with Becca and Tan in Bow for a while until I get my new house. Gonna be fun. Miss my decks and nice home stuff now though, and that all my shit is spread around 3 separate houses.

The Angriest Man Alive

This is pretty mad. I've been on this for a while but this version on Logan Sama's show is worth a post. Tempz starts off pretty chilled (well, as chilled as you can be whilst threatening to rob someone's house and steal their kids' toys) and works up until he's screaming. Sama drops Saxon towards the end, succeeding in making this sound very much like a shark attack before seemingly proclaiming the whole thing too much and turning off the radio. The sound effects or gun shots and smashing windows don't help, and neither does the wonky camera thing whenever they get dropped.

Burial Vs. Four Tet

Just heard the Wolf Cub/Moth split 12". Moth is my favourite, the more Burial sounding of the two,  though the 4/4 house beat hints at a possible new direction. Wolf Cub has the cut up Four Tet drums that are all over Everything Ecstatic but towards the end Burial's staple rumbling low-end bass comes in. Perhaps the best thing about this release is that it is so clearly a collaboration - elements of both producers' style can clearly be heard, and both of their respective sounds fuse, creating a dark nightscape courtesy of Burial and giving a loose, improvised impression from Four Tet.

Both tracks are available on MP3, but unfortunately the 12" release was extremely ltd. edition and is sold out.
