Kid 606 / Shout At The Doner

Tigerbeat6

Kid606's most accomplished record to date, Shout at the Doener combines all his usual brash and exciting plunderphonic and sampledelic elements with a whole new world of uncharacteristically musical and danceable hooks and styles both fresh and timeless.   606 draws on some of his biggest electronic influences--LFO, AFX, Mike Ink, Green Velvet, Mouse on Mars, The Prodigy, Daft Punk, Shizuo, Mr. Oizo, Giorgio Moroder--to make bold and powerful songs about the decline of America, leaving California, broken hearts, drunken hook-ups, social phobias, soulless partying, economic downfall, gnarly basslines, ego worship, moving to Berlin, diva vocals, Baltimore club, obsessive-compulsive disorder, the best parts of horror movies, acid house, ADHD, shameless irony, ADHD, speed garage, megalomania, LSD, Satanism, and the ever-prevalent doener kebab (Europe's best late-night cuisine to consume on the way home from from the club).   This release is the Kid's first successful stab at what one might call "schizotronics"--a genre that combines the elements of many dance music styles without pretension, trying too hard to fit into any trend, or losing the joy and energy of the driving beats and basslines that make music so fun in the first place. It's intelligent dance music for people who thought they didn't like intelligent dance music.
