EP Reviews

DJ Floorclearer's Goat Slaughterer EP presents brutal dark-dnb/metal-breakcore in much the same vein as early Venetian Snares releases such as printf("shiver in eternal darkness/n"); There has been a huge amount of metal sampling breakcore appearing the last couple of years, but this is one of the better examples of it. If all of the DJs who keep that bloody Amon Tobin / Player release in there box – not that it's bad, it's just ridiculously overexposed – ceremonially burnt it and dropped this in there instead club land would be better place. Also, all of the DJs who keep a copy of Venetian Snares Shitfuckers for instant-mosh-pit-required emergencies, you should probably have this in there next too it as you need somewhere to go from there. Like Mr Floorclearer's previous Death$ucker release, Roger's Massive Armpits, he has once again provided his own lovely twisted graphics to complete the package. But of course, all of that pales into insignificance, as how can you not want to purchase a record with a track called Smell Awaits on it?

It's been a case of long time no hear for Electromeca, his last full 12" was 2004's Battling Doll Beats, so it's great to hear another 12" full of brutal-electro-funk to get the party shaking again. The Reines (France) Peace-Off crew have been turning out phenomenal material like this since sometime around the millennium, and despite spinning off numerous off-shoot projects and sub-labels, it's good to know they can still pull the punches with the breakcore too. Those guys know how to put the funk into those breaks, rather than just create a distorted mess like many copy-cat artists think is all they need to do. This is music for dancing to, and I advise you do it.

It's transparently biased of me to say that both of these releases are essential, but anyone who's enjoyed the odd Death$ucker release in the past, owes it to themselves to check these out. Samples are up on dSWAT:
