New Track! The Bins – Inspiration Featuring Big Sole (Mochipet’s Wormhole Generator Backpack Remix)

August 30, 2011 by Leave a Comment

The Bins – Inspiration Featuring Big Sole (Mochipet’s Wormhole Generator Backpack Remix) by Mochipet

A Remix for The Bins Single “Inspiration” Featuring Big Sole from Anticon. I switched up the tempo (115bpm) and formula on this one. I wanted to do something with big bass that I could play out but still a little bit on the weird side. I wanted to bring back some of the mid-tempo jamz that seems to be missing so much in today’s heavy Dubstep and New Electro Songs. Added a little bit of old school 808 electro to top it off. I hope you guys like it. -mochi

a.vanvranken Landed available today!

August 26, 2011 by Leave a Comment

ARTIST: a.vanvranken
TITLE: Landed
LABEL: Daly City Records
CAT-NO: DCR164
FORMAT: Digital
RELEASE DATE: 8/26/11

Landed is the third LP from idm and downtempo producer A.VanVranken, produced and fine-tuned over several years. Taking a cue from more mellow idm and ambient influences such as The Flashbulb and Autechre, Landed is grounded in melody and intentional beats rather than the harder idm-style turbulent noise. Starting things off confidently with the sunny roadtrip of ‘Tomorrow’ and ending with the deliberate calm chaos of ‘Scy’, the album guides one through bright and danceable head-bobbing moments, industrial suspense, and introspective interludes catered by mysterious, unintelligible vocal samples allowing you to insert your own context into each track. Elements of non-idm artists such as El-P and Black Moth Super Rainbow sneak into tracks like ‘Trench’ and ‘Miguel’ to add variety and complexity to the soundscape, with intriguing distortions and repetitive glitchy hooks scattered throughout to flow it together in a carefully-arranged and cohesive package. Landed might best be described as ‘active background glitchbient shoegaze’ – a soundtrack for a beautiful day spent outside, or afterhours chilling at home.

Tracklisting:
1. Tomorrow
2. Landed
3. Do Not Fall
4. Timedquiet
5. Be Careful
6. Comfort
7. Trench
8. Mine
9. Miguel
10. Scy (feat. Teresa Flowers)

Sub-Radar Album Radar: Mochipet – Chicxulub

August 25, 2011 by Leave a Comment

Fresh off of 1320 Records (Eliot Lipp, Alex B, Emancipator and other amazing artists that will eventually have a feature here) comes Mochipet’s latest glitch-funk audio fest, groovy, messy and cheeky…Mochipet is one of the best-known Taiwanese producers out there, and has collabs to the moon and back with everyone from hip hop MC’s to techno producers, but this album seems to be a return to his avant-garde electronic hip hop roots. Only 8 tracks, but definitely 8 tracks worthy of being on 1320 Records.

Groovemine Review: Mochipet-Chicxulub

August 22, 2011 by Leave a Comment

I like albums with audacious concepts. Often, though, the music itself is boring, the concept simply serving as a crutch. When I first heard the newest offering by Mochipet (Taiwan-born David Wang), I had no idea that it was a concept album — and I liked it. My point being that good concept albums don’t ever live in the shadow of their concepts: the music is simply enriched by an understanding of the artist’s singular intentions. And in this case, they’re quite singular: Chicxulub, as the press release states, “is the soundtrack for an animated novel in which the Dinosaurs make their way through the impact of the comet believed to have destroyed them.”

Chronology is kind of a funny thing. If I had read that ridiculous description before my maiden voyage with the album, the music would definitely have disappointed me. The bombastic concept would have completely drowned out the music, I’m sure. But because I read it after listening to the album, everything instead clicked into place, and all of the elements of the music that I liked made more sense, giving the album a level of narrative depth of which I was previously unaware, appreciative as I was of the record’s epic synth textures. Suddenly the album’s scope, its plodding glitch-hop and huge synths, became panoramic.
