  • Freque – Girl with Butterfly

    Freque – Girl with Butterfly

    Freque’s first solo EP. Gameboy with a splash of EQ. Melancholy with a bit a sarcasm. Girl with Butterfly.

    pxl-bot.com says: “A joint release of epic proportions, Noisechannel.org and Pxl-Bot join forces to deal you one heck of a release from Noisechannel.org founder, Freque.

    Coated in beautiful melodies and addictive musical constructions, Freque spews out one hell of release on his debut solo effort, “Girl with Butterfly”. From the instance of the twisting and epic “U Had Me @ ASL”’s beginning, Freque lays his dance-coated hooks straight in underneath your skin where they intend to stay, right until the fist-pumping closer “Grzly Cntry” destroys your speakers with its heavy bass and gorgeous melodies.

    What’s most impressive about this release is how Freque, rather inexplicably, has managed to craft a truly unique style and sound within his music, most obvious on the release’s title track. The almost jittering melodies and semi-quavered rolls really create something that can’t be heard anywhere else but on this record, pushing this fantastic artist into the limelight with a strong thrust. Somehow the music breathes empty space, whilst at the same time remaining heavily layered and constantly shifting.

    This really is a fantastic piece of work.

    LWT 08 Released! Degon – Qasar Shunt

    New Lowtoy release ready to download!

    Just to remind us all that Spain exists, Degon (From Distortled Box Crew) brings us this Gameboy release.

    Degon’s first release takes advantage of his disorder and bad habits during the musical elaboration to derivate inedit lives into new songs and corrupted songs into new tracks. Ideal for driving a high speed hovercraft wielding a crossbow or for spending long periods in outer space. Created in 2011 with the pure sound of a Game Boy DMG and a LSDJ.
