***The aptly named SoundMurderer produces and runs the ragga-jungle label Rewind Records based in Detroit, Michigan with co-owner/producer SK-1. His soulful dancehall ragga jungle productions combine the modern illness and intricate programming of Squarepusher and Plug with the classic sounds of Congo Natty and the early ragga jungle soundsystem culture. We're talking full-on bass-rinse snare-rush; tight, cutty ranks; and mixing like you're not likely to hear anywhere else. Mixed between 1999 and 2002, and boasting a jaw-dropping 60 tracks in under 70 minutes, it was not done quickly just to pack as many songs as possible on a mix CD, but rather to highlight the most intense, mashed-up parts of great tracks that not many people have heard (most tracks were available on relatively small pressings at least eight years ago). Wired for Sound was originally intended to be a mix tape (track 1 being side A, and track 2 side B), but-- lucky you-- CDs allow for a third darker and more futuristic bonus track to be added for this release. |
