“Mythology of the Metropolis” is the highly anticipated third
Deceptikon album, and is easily his most ambitions work to date. The
record is a genre-hopping, bass-heavy, mind-bending album of epic
proportions, one that is equally suited for the home stereo as well as
the dance floor. Heavy analog bass lines, vocals mangled just beyond
recognition, vocoded samples, and thumping drums play like a
soundtrack to genres that haven’t yet been invented. Created primarily
while Wright was living in Japan, “Mythology of the Metropolis” is an
extended love letter written to the city of Tokyo. Over three years in
the making, the album features guest contributions from artists as
diverse as He Can Jog (Audiobulb, Benbecula), Copy (Audio Dregs), Oly
(170, Ipecac), and Vincent Parker (Fourthcity, Run Riot). A critical
and underground fan favorite, Deceptikon is an artist to watch in
2010.

Praise for “Mythology of the Metropolis”:

“Both delightfully nostalgic and supremely contemporary, Mythology of
the Metropolis simultaneously sounds like everything I love and
nothing I’ve ever heard before.  If this is what the future sounds
like, I no longer have any reason to fear getting older.”
-Captain Ahab (Deathbomb Arc, Cock Rock Disco, Dual Plover, Irritant)

“Deceptikon pulls through with yet another strong release.
Well-produced and balanced rhythms, melodies, and beats all contained
within a positive attitude.  A wonderful release to bump while on a
cruse around the neighborhood.  I personally am always anticipating
Dkon’s next release!”
- Jerry Abstract (Shitkatapult, Musick, Schematic, Detroit Underground)

“There is not a single weak song on the new Deceptikon record…
sounds like electroclash kicking hiphops ass. thick & analog. …
electro sci-fi disco giving hip hop a reach around. it should sell
like cakes that are hot.”
- Proem (Merck, n5md, Component, Nonresponse)

Praise for past releases:

“A delicious amalgam of hip-hop, soul, and electropop … teeming with
fresh ideas and both sonically svelte in design and lush in character
… (Deceptikon is) fully qualified to be a next-level hip-hop
producer.”
-Textura

“Dilla comparisons might be in order … a track like “Almond Groves”
has all the organic warmth and grit, in addition to the subtle
synthetic undertones, of a Ummah-era Jay Dee production. ”
-Okayplayer

“(Deceptikon has) an earthly love of jazz and melody that posits him
not many miles away from Britain’s premier laptronica whiz kid, Four
Tet. … Heads will nod.”
-Grooves Magazine

“His ability to keep heads bobbing with hiphop rooted breakbeats and a
large palate of sounds helped him win the (Portland) laptop battle;
these are both what makes his debut full length so hot. … There’s
got to be more heat on the way.”
-Portland Mercury / Seattle Stranger

“Deceptikon is peerless in his ability to get a groove on.”
-Inpress ( Australia )

“A DJ Krush-like grasp of rhythm and melody”
- Seattle Stranger
