Deceptikon featured on XLR8R!

XLR8R has made Kinyoubi a featured download on their site! They also had some nice things to say:

Deceptikon is a recent transplant to the Bay Area, and he’s brought with him a new album, Mythology of the Metropolis, from which “Kinyoubi” is taken. Thick, wet handclaps and deep kicks dominate the track’s percussive element, with an interesting move from a more dubstep feel to a slow-motion house beat towards the piece’s end. Starry main synths, gut-rumbling bass, and beautifully unintelligible vocals provide the melodic backbone of “Kinyoubi,” making for an exciting and versatile slice from this upcoming producer.

Deceptikon in the Seattle Stranger!

Deceptikon’s recent live show in Seattle got a recommendation from Stranger writer Dave Segal:

Stop Biting: Deceptikon

(Lo-Fi) Former Seattle producer Deceptikon (Zack Wright) has been living in Japan and San Francisco for the last few years or so. Now he’s back for the holidays, in time to liven up that dull week between Christmas and New Year’s Eve with a date at the hiphop/B-boy-friendly weekly Stop Biting. Should be interesting to witness how Deceptikon’s geekily funked-up IDM—his sprightly tracks bump, bleep, and shimmer somewhere between Dabrye and Scientific American—will go down with the breakdancers. He will likely bust out some tracks from his forthcoming album,Mythology of the Metropolis (out February 16 on Daly City Records). DAVE SEGAL
