Japan’s Made In Glitch label turns to relative newcomer Grillo for its latest release. The Italian producer comes with five tracks of wonky, bleepy, 8-bit mayhem that will appeal equally to fans of dubstep’s purple wing and Brainfeeder’s convoluted hip-hop. One listen to his jumped-up din, and you’ll understand immediately why he chose an artist name that translates as “grasshopper.”
Angry lo fi synth lines buzz along with deep, stilted beats in I Had U Ken, Grillo’s tribute to the all american awesomeness of Street Fighter’s Ken Masters. Videogame samples and xbox live scrubs spouting profanity during online play adorn the shorter tracks, while Ken’s own in game voice is autotuned and vocoded to sing along in TaDaDa, feeling like drunken yodeling on acid. There’s also a chiptune remake of the original street fighter 2 ken theme, a nice trip down memory lane before the dark, dubby and moody Thunder Kick closes out the record with its menacing guitar riff.
Luta – The Remixes EP is finally out and up for download at bandcamp. Luta the track originated on the 2008 Dusted Wax 2nd all star compilation, and then went on to become a minor hit.
Then things got a bit mixed up here, i lost a couple of important files while upgrading my pc and couldn’t re-open the original track anymore. Shame, real shame, as i needed to prepare a serious live treatment for upcoming gigs. What i did instead is I started remixing it on the fly, gauging the effect on the audience and then expanding upon it.
