Genus Inkasso - Under Seals Broken By The Lean Solicitor


I first heard of Genius Inkasso through his collaboration with Gavin Gamboa on this completely insane short film:


His latest offering on Immigrant Breast Nest is an epic acousmatic track sandwiched between two genre defying songs that might loosely be described as breakcore. Check it out!

i, cactus - slipknot are really fucking hard

Photobucket

this album is all over the place. at times its digital hardcore-ish chiptune, other times its quite reminiscent of Stuntrock (track 3). Then it will switch up into ambient glitchy idm kinda stuff a la Mouse on Mars. Will you go on a trip with i, cactus? I did. Besides some inappropriate touching, it was a blast!

V/A - Tunedere Vol. 2

Photobucket

New compilation coming from Tsundere Violence, one of the few active lolicore focused labels around. CDR kicks off the album with a pretty sweet mix of jungle leaning breakcore with a dash of wub wub and japanese vocal sampling. NoSleeves drops a track that is all over the place in all the right ways, jumpin through genres (breakcore, chiptune, jcore, numerous EDM genres) like nobodies business. Just wish it was mastered a little better, the sound is a tad murky. Pencil has a short and sweet lolicore banger after my own heart, though poorly mastered, sounds like its coming from inside a wet boot taking away from sound like well edited drums and a well chosen vocal track. Rotten Blood's two tracks are probably my favorites. Very well produced lolicore/breakcore all around dopeness. Neko Girl's Litter Box throws down three tracks, my favorite being "lolimaidbukkake.jpeg" being very reminiscent of my buddy Tropical Pain Forest. Omorashi's "Grapefruit" brings downtempo hip hop-y glitchy-ness to the fold, not too repetitive patterns develop and flow well. Himeko Katagiri's (who is also Omorashi and about 10 other aliases) offering,"On Your Ass Like Some Drawers", shows a continued improvement in his production abilities. Sounding pretty awesome! Rotten Blood comes at you with some pretty sweet lolicore consumables. Strange Toy (who also appears as The Bad Samurai on the compilation) provides some pretty cool jittery cut ups a la breakcore status. Noise, Vocaloid, Amens.... pretty much sums up this compilation. If those three things sound good to you, this is a compilation for you. Be sure to check out some of the other releases up on Tsundere Violence's website. They have a couple hundred releases for their two years of existence and they are all FREE!

SISTERS - Slut Bath

 height=

cOmaRecOrdz lists SISTERS as "Catwave, Post-trap, Coastgoth". I can't really think of an appropriate genre tag. Not a bad thing either. Some thoughts I've had while listening: "is this what breakcore sounds like real slowed down?" "this would go well as a jrpg soundtrack" "coastgoth? wtf is coastgoth?" and on. Interesting listen, I tagged as conceptual because the intensity (or lack there of) of the music allows your mind to wander and help shape the music into your own little psuedo-magicore adventure. Grab from cOmaRecOrdz now, direct download or torrent. do both. seed that shit. be a digital sea pirate yaar. maybe thats what coastgoth means?

V/A - Evil [Deathbomb Arc Compilation]

 height=

Diss1 drop some experimental Hip Hop down, styles ranging between a smattering of 80s production flare and Die Antwoord delivery/vibe (though with far more substance than Die could ever manage) with a little dirty electronics thrown in for good measure. The whole compilation is led off with Diss1 and their tracks poignant opening sample of A Tribe Called Quest calling "Please don't be deceived by the ugly slice of evil". Boo Hiss brings some digital punk to the table that quickly flows into Black Pus' meandering glitch piece "Beg to Blague". I found Black Pus' offering quite uninspired/boring. Viper Venom "Goosebumps" sounds like most contemporary "Hip Hop" club hits, but extremely dark and digital. For fans of ICP, Twiztid, etc. Much guttural "YAH" wowe. Black Pus follows with the very DIY punk sounding "Food is Great". The compilation continues on with some downtempo breaks smashed with harsh noise from Dreamcrusher, Rind brings much reverb drenched kvlt, Sissy Cobb offers up some pretty straight forward harsh noise (with a little experimentation) on "Hounds"...... the real stand outs on this album are Diss1 and Signor Benedick the Moor (prod. Brrrapture) with their own fairly original takes on Hip Hop, ParallaxScroll with their endearing IDM fair, and Grypt with their well produced kvlt outing. Much of this album didn't really impress me. There are some good points like I mentioned but a lot of it felt uninspired or perhaps juvenile. Juvenile in the way that these projects are still in their relative infancy still trying to develop themselves. Or perhaps some of the material just came across trendy to me? I've heard this has been getting alot of press... I'm starting to wonder why. Regardless, the compilation is for a good cause and there are some stand outs that are definitely worth checking out. The cover was just black, so I decided to choose a better image for this post.

This is what Deathbomb Arc had to say about the release:

Benefit compilation for the anti-debt charity Rolling Jubilee rollingjubilee.org - 100% of money donated for downloads will be given to Rolling Jubilee.

Acts were asked to write songs about evil in whatever form they wished, from the specific to the abstract; from the cartoonish to the most horrible and real. Here at Deathbomb Arc, we consider economic systems designed to keep the majority of people in debt the most evil of all.

For even more information, we highly recommend you read the book 'Debt' by David Graeber.

Moment Trigger / Gaylord Fiend - Futures Over / Morfeen Angels


LA based artists Moment TriggerGaylord Fiend just released this dazzling 2 song split.

Moment Trigger are oddly ecstatic and "Futures Over" will get the party started.

"Morfeen Angels" by Gaylord Fiend is a ritualistic dirge with psychedelic and tribal overtones, drawing comparisons to the work of 80s musicians like Laurie Anderson or Kate Bush.

V/A - Brokecore Forever

 photo a2471975754_2_zps27af8bcf.jpg

A fun romp through the extended Brokecore family. A Family that has been split up and gone through rough times, but has finally come back together in a tender embrace. The last Brokecore compilation was nigh on 7 years ago. The label has been pretty much on indefinite hiatus since. Now its back with a vengeance! 38 tracks of br00t41 nast'. Relative newcomer Mherdad kicks things off with a pretty straight forward breakcore banger, filled to the brim with breaks, edits, and gabber kicks. The following track by another newcomer, Freebase Frenzy, sounds as though Stuntrock himself (circa '00) took possession and kicked out the jams with his track "Mr Austin Tends To Get A Little Cranky If He Doesn't Get A Beer By Noon". The intensity never lets up. Whether its top notch noise blasts from the likes of Michigan's RedSK or evil chiptune anthems from Pittsburgh's very own Bit Mummy, you will not be disappointed. Evil Robot Ted, Brokecore's owner, known for his harsh digi noise pieces and broken breakbeat montages brings the finest, cleanest piece of Jungle/Drum n Bass I've ever heard from him. Ditching the standard noise pads for phasing melodies reminiscent of the raving early 90s and backing it up with varied, well edited amens provides a quite enjoyable listening experience. The track order is superb, songs often mixing very well into the following track. Evil Robot Ted's track runs perfectly into the mellow I DO NOT LOVE.'s "Come Back", subdued vocals harkening back to Joy Divisions haunting vocalist Ian Curtis coupled with a pretty electronic melody that slowly washes away in a sea of reverb and echo along with the rest of the song, a deep dark well of doomed synth pop. While there are many new names to the Brokecore roster introduced on this compilation, that doesn't mean there aren't a few old favorites in the mix either. Kindergarten Hazing Ritual, DJ Scratchin', and Helium Ointment all lend their talents. A joy to listen to, an honor to have had the opportunity to participate. Brokecore FOREVER!

Jankenpopp - Reve et Amour

 height=

"After several acclaimed appearances on compilations, a few autoproduced releases and hundreds of concerts, here is the long awaited first Jankenpopp album. Rêve & Amour (Dream and Love), is a rich and coherent album that synthesises Jankenpopp’s musical universe, a blend of synth pop, chiptune and breakcore. The album is released on BRK in limited edition cdr (200 copies) and free download. The music will speak better than words..." - from the BRK website

The albums starts off with a jaunt through 1940's popular music with a contemporary flair which soon morphs into aggressive fist pumpin electronica quickly followed by acoustic folk glitch punk. Track 4 "Spend the World" was previously a compilation appearance (which I believe showed up here on magicore). "Spend the World" is about as close to Magicore genre as you can get without some epic story line woven in. A very fun romp through contemporary electronic trends, while managing to claim their own style.

Toxic Chicken - Flastic Fantastique

 photo a4019018051_2_zpsa03a7fd1.jpg

Toxic Chicken comes through silly and strong with this fine release on the DIY Warrior net/limited run label Flaccid Plastic Records. 6 tracks. Almost 20 minutes of material. Despite the short run time, you are transported away to an alien planet... a twisted dreamscape where mutant women whisper backwards computer chatter with a feminine flair seeping into your ears through digital backwash. Twitchy minimal mechanical electro is absorbed by gelatinous IDM frog beings, now pulsating with a light blue inner glow inducing synesthesia..... Groovy, happy ditties exhibiting IDM playfulness in a way reminiscent of Mouse on Mars' more playful moments. Weirdo melodies mesh nicely with well chosen vocal samples, the main perpetrators behind the cheerfully odd atmosphere. Toxic Chicken comes through once again with another swell release. I am proud to be label mates with this guy. Don't miss this one.

Kryzgx - "Kryzgx I"


Genuinely creepy and ritualistic atmospheric black metal from Kryzgx, and artists name you'll never remember how to spell correctly. It is mixed and recorded by Munkie Poo, featured here in the past, so I'm curious as to whether or not this is an alias project from him. Either way, the fuzzed out melodies and leftfield vocal flexings are a nice take on a timeless classic, in terms of the black metal genre. Check it.
