Mutant Breaks Competition #2

Post up the links! big job, big satisfaction. Thanks for the top 5 :)

Patskin picks (see: http://www.myspace.com/patregaskin )

  
Choice #1 : JBL - Avoyage Beneath The Skin Of Robocat.mp3  
What I like a lot about this track is all the different moods in it.  
Moods like: 'city night', 'cold blue', 'metal sharts', 'hot smog',  
'fluorescent white fresh yellow', and 'iced rubber'. It has all the  
detailed glitches switches shmitches ditcheds in all the right places,  
nothing too overpowering, not boring, just right. It was around this  
track where I was writing some simple sound spectrum visualisation  
thing in Processing which jittered and hopped quite well to the  
frequencies.  
  
Choice #2 : Spodnik - Drail.mp3  
I was now playing around with a slightly more advanced version of the  
spectrum visualisation thing mentioned above, which could now read  
left and right channel inputs. Really neat to watch when listening to  
this track. The song is exactly what I had created there; a black  
space, with eye piercing bright color mixtures constantly trying to  
attack your mental health by forming and switching between strange  
textures within microseconds which you couldn't really pinpoint with  
your eyes, but you could see them as long as you paid attention or  
shifted your eyes in the right way at the right moment.  
  
Choice #3 : Vivace - Pinch Hitter 2.mp3  
I know what you're thinking, and no it's not 'because I already  
praised Vivace's other EP'. This track is completely different from  
what this artist made on Polderdub, and it took me quite by surprise.  
I'm not sure what to write down about this track, just that my hands  
just got very sweaty and cold, like I'm panicking but I don't know it  
yet. A shameless attack on your well being I think is the right  
description.  
  
However, there are so many tracks in this competition, that I had a  
really hard time fishing out the best ones. So here's a little list of  
tracks that get a special mention:  
  
Breakthru - Greyskii (Airy and lush)  
Brian Lutes - James Brown Breakbeat On Drugs (Funky and gentle)  
EatMe - Ash - Final (Quite a long pill to swallow, but so lush)  
Oberheim6 - Kid Carnage (Obscure)  
Padlock - 240 (Damn powerful)  
UncleC - OA (Fun!)  
Void Pointer - Rijst (That's rice in dutch innit?)  
  
These are all tracks I'd sure put into a patskin pack or two.

Hatchmatick’s picks (see: http://www.hatchmatik.com/ )

  
ok here we go  
  
#1 blac waldo - totally more house than breaks but totally played into what im into so its hard to not be into it - like the drums and the use of the samples and the bassline is dope and the transition from one bassline movement into the next and then the chops at the end the tune is gooode  
  
#2 mick rippon - the samples are really dope made me laugh and then when it kicks in i like the drop a lot the drums sound good the percs are dope and the bassline is really good this song sounds like a band playing more than a dude at home on a computer which is a good thing and an accomplishment i think - vocal chops are dope and the song is emotive which always is a plus for me  
  
#3 custard - like the beat the housey vibe again spoke to me and the walking bassline gets me everytime - gets a bit proggy but i can dig it  
  
#3 is a tie for me really cos i love the eatme track ash as well has such a nice emotional vibe to it i love ambient shit so i dunno what to say there really i think its the #3 and the custard is an honorable mention ? i dunno  
  
a good album to include in the prizepack:  
matias aguayo 14tracks selection (14tracks.com)  
or the new simian mobile disco - temporary pleasure is the album name  
  
best
