Knifehandchop / Tko From Tokyo

Tigerbeat6

If Knifehandchop's second Tigerbeat6 record, TKO from Tokyo, doesn't raise your temperature, you better check yourself into a hospital. Moving effortlessly from classic gabba to gangsta to ragamuffin and e-fueled raver jams, TKO from Tokyo serves up eight dizzyingly fast anthems whose stylistic syntheses are guaranteed to make your head spin. Knifehandchop (aka 2Ø-year-old Toronto native Billy Pollard) is guaranteed a place at the table of notoriety as one of Canada's top producers - especially for his cutting up, looping and sequencing over determined motor rhythms of the vocals of Jamaican dancehall legend Bounty Killer.  TRACK LISTING 1.

I Hate Your Fucking Face A crushing and emotional ode to an unfaithful girlfriend that pits Old Dirty Bastard and a classic RZA piano line against an unusually violent, distorted ricochet kick-drum rhythm  4.
