ANTICON

Artist: THEMSELVES Title: Them
Format: CD Catalog
Number:
ABR0010CD
Price: $13.00 Label: Anticon
Release
Date:
3/10/03
***themselves, formerly them, are doseone and jel-- the former a nowhere man out to make the world small and his neuroses something lovely, an artist free of form and slave to his own scatterbrained genius; the latter the drum machine's premier musician, whose distinct few-bit sound and rhythmic sensibilities get him coveted by vocalists and MCs far and wide. them was originally released as a self-titled album by them in May of 2000 when little about anticon was known or understood; the record went out of print about a year after its release. For many, this album introduced the ground-breaking, genre-defying madness of the duo. jel's distinct sound naturally facilitates doseone's surreal vocals, evoking another world entirely. The record is a funhouse ride turned ugly-- through childlike daydreams and social rants, to hip hop bravado and just outright strangeness. Ultimately, you're left wondering where you are and what you're listening to, but you don't mind because it sounds so compelling.

MASSMEN

Artist: MASSIVE Title: Beats 2 Technics
Format: LP Catalog
Number:
MM14
Price: $8.25 Label: Massmen
Release
Date:

***Over the past 15 years, L.A. underground music has been defined by its lyricism and multi-dimensionality. Massive's raw production, along with FatJack and DJ SLIP, were the beats that the pioneers of the Good Life such as Freestyle Fellowship, Jurassic 5, The Pharcyde and others displayed the skills on. Massive was first heard outside the region through his work on the Project Blowed album as well as Abstract Tribe Unique's Mood Pieces album.

Also known as Awol One's first producer and music mentor, Massive has a signature sound that spawned next generation of L.A. producers such as Mike Nardone, SACH, Hive and C.V.E. After a small hiatus to work behind the scenes on major label projects with artists like Snoop Dogg and Kid Frost, Massive brings the beats of Project Blowed and The Good Life out of the cramped spaces, and off the dusty mix tapes, and drops them onto wax for deejays and emcees hoping to blow up their own regional battle circuits. This long overdue slice of L.A. history consists of a variety of never-released beats and breaks to keep every emcee thirsty, and a breakdown of the drum loop on each song for the little producer in all of us. Cover art by Massmen's favorite political prisoner, Awol One.

  • Long overdue beats and breaks album by influential L.A. producer who has worked with everyone who's anyone
  • Sure to garner interest from followers of Project Blowed, Freestyle Fellowship, Abstract Tribe Unique, and the L.A. underground

***The third album this year from getting-the-hype-and-delivering-the-goods electronic scene dominator AARON FUNK. Breaking from the abrasive breakcore of his previous releases, Funk moves into darker, more thoughtful areas, letting strong emotions blend with his playful, complex rhythm structures. Includes his first full vocal performance (on the track "Dad"), as well as a cover of the Misfits' "She" with Aaron rocking his best approximation of Danzig.

TIGERBEAT 6

Artist: SODAHBERK, DWAYNE Title: Partying Without Inhibition Or Dignity
Format: 12" Catalog
Number:
MEOW071
Price: $4.00 Label: Tigerbeat 6
Release
Date:
3/10/03
***Finished immediately after his first European tour headlining and opening for the likes of Kid606 and the legendary Thomas Brinkmann, this is the soundtrack for a bad night out, including bad attitude, bad judgement, social incompetence, desperation, embarrassment, and unmotivated bursts of exaggerated emotions. Hmmm, resembles a typical Monday morning at Revolver/Midheaven...

Musically, Sodahberk can't decide if he's a punk rocker or an electronica geek or an indie-pop nerd - you gotcher walls of guitar in the opening song, a sassy electro title track (featuring on vocals Maria Eilersen from Swedish indie-electropunk band Revlon9), thick and down-tempo hip-hop beats on "What You Waited For" (with vocals by Dwayne), sentimental pop in "Yeah, You," the V12-engined, unstoppable, four-to-the-floor "Forever," and the hysterical closing track.

The CD version includes tracks previously available only on vinyl-- three from the Unsound EP on Sodahberk's Stuporsonika label, as well as the techno-pop anthem "I_Skatr" from the E.Pr.Disco 12-inch made with Stuporsonika labelmate Janosh Brando for Swayzak's Voltmusik label. Expect to see Dwayne Sodahberk bringing his unique, noisy and often beautiful live set on the 2003 Tigerbeat6 world tour, various remixes, a collaborative record with Swedish electronica pioneer Ralph Lundsten, and a follow-up full length album on Tigerbeat6 some time in the summer.


Artist: ZEIGENBOCK KOPF Title: The Nocturnal Submissions
Format: CD Catalog
Number:
MEOW077
Price: $6.75 Label: Tigerbeat 6
Release
Date:
3/10/03
***Ultra-lo-fi, mysterious, and frighteningly addictive slut-punk duo Zeigenbock Kopf (German brothers Hans and Uli Bunschlaper with aid from Detlef) have left the flaccid and impotent dance scene of Berlin behind forever. Their beats pummel. Their bass is too loud and the highs are acrid. They came to San Francisco not to embrace the dance scene or the gay pride parades, but to destroy clubs and to hurt those who open themselves up to victimization by hurters.

Nocturnal Submissions follows their debut album, I.D.M., a severely warped and very un-PC collection of ass-destroying, sexy, electro gabber beats, rockabilly-ish guitars, organs, and dance-till-you-drop-dead vocal commandments. Fans of Men's Recovery Project, Whitehouse, Pink and Brown, Kid606, Abba, Miss Kitten, Electronicat, Merzbow, Coachwhips, Numbers, and Throbbing Gristle will be very pleased. Zeigenbock Kopf's is the sound of a spastically pulsating prostate, and they will tear you a new earhole while showing you the difference between your orifices, polymorphously perverse crunchy waveforms and harsh, minimal, early industrial booty with Krautcock vox.
