Freddy Todd - Lick the Glitch (glitch.fm mix 11 May 2010)


One of my favorites glitch-hop producers, Freddy Todd from Mecha-Detroit, prepared a super duper special mix which aired on 11 May 2010 on glitch.fm. The mix includes tracks from his new remix EP "Space 5 Penthouse" released on Car Crash Set and available via Addictech (highly recommended by Doktor Krank!! - some absolutely outstanding remixes in the pack - NiT GriT, Mochipet, Inaudible, Samples and more) plus  some  new tracks from his upcoming full length album due out on Run Riot Records in mid/late June, some other gems and ... ridiculously sick remixes by Freddy Todd himself, including ehmm, Darude's Sandstorm remix (sic!). Trance-turned-glitch he he he. All in all, one of the best crunky glitch-hop mixes I heard this year. A must for any fan of distorted synths and squashed basslines.

Helen Austin - When We Were Young (HipGnosis Mnr Ncnvnc Mx)



Beautiful remix of Helen Austin's - When We Were Young by HipGnosis. I am a real sucker for females singing such songs!!! HipGnosis glitched up infectious vocal and lovely guitars of Helen Austin, cut the beat up properly and laid down solid foundation for dreamy voyage through the sea of mesmerizing lyrics. This tune made my day. Please, gimme more.

You can catch HipGnosis (a.k.a. Eric Young) on mighty

SOLIPSISTIC NATION PODCAST NO. 156 (I encourage you to go to the site to watch very nice videos there)

All glitch-hop fans should definitely check this great podcast from solipsistic NATION. Apart from eclectic and top-notch quality music presented, the host carried out a few interviews with well-known characters on the glitch scene. Starting from Australian Jim Moynihan (Spoonbill) and founder of Omelette Records, Great Scott a gonzo behind mighty glitch.fm, Steve Nalepa (among others, 1/2 of Bass Science together with Matt.b) and Deru. It's definitely one of the best podcasts I've heard in a while. Very diverse music (some free goodies - check the tracklist) and great interviews with artists discussing among others the current status of the so called "glitch" genre. In particular one question stuck in my mind: Do we live in a post-glitch world? Do we? What's your opinion?

MOCHIPET - GODZILLA NEW YEAR SINGLE REVIEW

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us


9 out of 10 ***** ESSENTIAL PURCHASE!

MOCHIPET - GODZILLA NEW YEAR SINGLE


ARTIST: Mochipet
TITLE: Godzilla New Year Single
LABEL: Daly City Records
CAT-NO: DCR142
FORMAT: Digital Single with Remixes
COVER ART BY: Sean Griffin

Tracklisting:
01) Godzilla New Year Original
02) Godzilla New Year (Vibesquad Remix)
03) Godzilla New Year (An-Ten-Nae Remix)
04) Godzilla New Year (Ana Sia Remix)
05) Godzilla New Year (Mimosa Remix)
06) Godzilla New Year (Nortec Remix)
07) Godzilla New Year (David Starfire Remix Instrumental)
08) Godzilla New Year (David Starfire Remix Featuring iCatching


Last year Mochipet released an entire series of remixes off his Microphonepet full-length album. He continues the same pattern with Master P on Atari with even better results. Godzilla New Year single is definitely the most consistent and top quality compilation I’ve heard this year. It is simply a MUST for any glitch hop fan. Mochipet collected an outstanding group of remixers, practically all of them “hot” names of the scene. Pretty diverse in vibe and quite interesting individually, all the edits add up to an extremely coherent release, glitched and crunked to the max, yet full of fantastic melodies and surprising synths, bleeps and of course Chinese gongs. From the first original track till the mesmerizing and ‘raw energy’ remix by David Starfire the listener is confronted with a thick wall of heavy sound built on a properly distorted and twisted foundation with straight-in-yer face bassline. All the artists preserved the basis and added their own diverse and contagious interpretations thus creating a killing tool for converting infidels into glitch bass. I call on you, take this record and preach Glitch Hop to the masses.

The single starts with heavy metal intensity of the original version. Fast and dirty making my head spin and arousing evil smile on my face. Pure adrenaline kick! I bet you will not be able to sit on your chair longer than 60 sec. into it. No wonder Mochipet selected this particular track for remixes.

Then, glitch hop master, Vibesquad delivers a surefire hit with contagious synths, nice build-ups and crunky beats. This track will definitely be heavily rinsed by DJ’s across the globe. An-ten-nae offers super crunky, ill electronica with heavy bassline. Just ask your car’s sound system about the opinion on this track. An-ten-nae is one of my favorite producers and he shows outstanding skills and delivers heavy weight bomb of distorted synths and fantastic melody, which reminds me of the work of another talented artist, namely dubstep / breakcore don Cardopusher. TIP of the release without a doubt! And don’t forget to check An-ten-nae’s Acid Crunk vol. 5 released recently. His music is so ill.

A lady producer, Ana Sia, steps in and takes the listeners for a trip into slowed down distortions, dark synths and fast drums in one of the fattest tracks, utilizing low frequency and sub bass in the best possible way. This girl knows how to rock hard. Mimosa plays with emotions like none other. His remix is a nice foretaste of his killing EP (Flux for Life) released on Muti just a few days ago. Dreamy and unsettling melody craftily woven into glitched beats and heavy bass. Ready-made score for a 21st century poetic docu about humanity obsessed with technology reaching a boiling point of greenhouse effect. Archaic revival seems to be the only solution…
Moving further into different areas, Mexico’s own Nortec Collective (Clorofila) delivers glitched Cumbia with very nice distorted and delayed trumpets and accordions. Reminds me a bit of Balkansky’s ethnic stuff. I thought that combination of Cumbia and glitch-hop may be too risky, but this track proves quite the reverse! These two music genres currently occupy the top of my list thus I simply can only appreciate this nice little joint. Keep’em coming Nortec!

Finally, here comes the second best remix by the head of Six Degrees Records - David Starfire. Ultra heavy glitch hop in a mesmerizing oriental sauce. I love such sweet and sour treats, simply delicious. Gong Gong Gong. If instrumental is great and rules in my car’s sound system, the version featuring a vocalist is just unbelievable, utter, proper shit. Kudos to iCatching for finding a right flow and raw energy fitting so well the production of David Starfire.

The more releases of such quality hit the market, the faster glitch hop will gain the right momentum to spread really wide. I keep my fingers crossed.

Glitch FM Radio on air!!


GLITCH FM

THE Internet Radio of the glitch community is finally up and running!!!! I've prepared a totally cheesy and not very funny bollywood film teaser to celebrate the launch of this great radio "saturating your ears with delectable details".


<a href="http://www.grapheine.com">Agence communication Paris Graphéine</a>

The radio's team is looking for DJ's to fill in the empty slots - don't be shy girls and boys, it's a great opportunity to present your skills to the outer world. Contact them here: http://glitch.fm/contact.

A few rules published on Glitch FM site:
  • PLEASE NOTE: All shows are 2 hours long with priority given to weeklies. You must have the capability to record into your computer (going through a mic in doesn't count). Owning a microphone is strongly suggested as well.
  • Shows can be ANY format you wish as long as they're live. For example, you don't have to just DJ - you could host a weekly countdown, do interviews, have an industry news show, etc.
  • HOW WE DEFINE GLITCH: Glitch is not so much a genre but rather a cross-genre design philosophy in the music: paying lots of attention to fine-grain detail. You could be into glitch-hop, IDM, dubstep, breaks, house, trip-hop, or ambient for all we know - but the focus should be on the edgier more ornate productions within.
