New release of old rarities by the prince of electro-chip freshness, Mr. Spastic.
via mp3death In a year where all the gimmicks seemed to be tired (forced limitations, cover comps, time based show-offs) these nominees showed that at its heart, chip music ain’t a thing without good old-fashioned songwriting. There is no way to do justice to the dozens of deserving artists who have created great music this year, so when weighing nominations I tried to consider the artists’ use of chips and the quality of the production, but in the end it was simply a matter of “do you like the song?” These tracks are all superior accomplishments and I am proud to announce 2009’s Best Track Nominees: The J. Arthur Keens Band – Catfish Lagoon Youthful wunderkin releases dozens of songs and this is the one that catches fire. Catchy and sing-a-longability along with great sound design make a song that is not only one you can rock in your bedroom, but share with your parents, friends and the fairer sex. From the amazing 8bp100 Blip Fest CD package, the mix and the crowd only accentuate an amazing performance by one the masters of the US chip scene, Josh Davis. The soundtrack to running through a brick wall, hyper energy and a solo that takes you over the cliff. Not to be played before bedtime, church, major surgery… Processed chips with insanely large presence and mental beats. Harsh, club-worthy and ultimately danceable. Chibi-Tech – A–nie Rabu Damon. (It’s A–nie Love.) Perverse and accomplished, what more can you hope for from ths winner of this years Famicompo Originals. Fans of VRC6 and Jodeci, this is your jam.
One of my favorites in the whole “MIDIFY Chip sounds but make the kind of music I want to anyways” zone of the chip music scene, Mr. Spastic is extremely underrated and hopefully this is the release to get him on the map. Having had one of the best Blip ’09 sets, he is sure to be killing it at this weekend’s Dutycyle II show. With its killer pixel art from UI, this may be hands down one of my favorite e-ep’s so far of 09. This is non-optional download. GRAB IT NOW.
