***After a seemingly endless stretch of production gigs and remix projects with the likes of Senor Coconut, Drop The Lime, Panico, Electronicat, Mike Shannon, The Numbers, Com.a, Atom&trade and Latin superstars Los Prisioneros, Chilean producer Original Hamster is back with a long player of his own: Original Hamster Presents Trendsetter And The Followers. Better known as one half of MTV award-winning production duo The Hermanos Brothers, Original Hamster's solo act is equally wild and funky. He's performed at some of the most important electronic music festivals around, including Mutek and Villette-Numerique, and toured nearly everywhere else -- from his native South America to the US, Europe, Japan and beyond. Trendsetter And The Followers is pure, electronic, sane fun, full of funky, hi-tech electro. High-end marketing concepts here, musicalized in the trendiest possible ways: distorted beats, catchy melodies, unpredictable sounds and irresistible songs. References to Kraftwerk, classic r'n'b, and Public Enemy are present, but accommodated in a very unique way. The album includes remixes from A-list artists from around the globe including Atom&trade, French superstar Krikor, Mike Shannon, rock revelation Panico (Tigersushi), Kid606 and many more. |
