Dirty Blends Compilation Label {Edition 4}

2022

s n i p p e d

This is a TRIPLE Vinyl Album.   
500 limited vinyl copies with absolutely no repress.
**Orders are LIMITED to 1 per customer due to limited availability.**

The triad of MBD brings an entirely different approach with numerous vocal appearances and raw funkiness. The kind of sound that brings images of dark and dirty city streets to mind that would not feel out 
of place as the soundtrack for an cult 80s film about about street 
gangs i.e. the Duke from Escape From New York...or Style Wars. 

The Wave and House sounds are present but then there’s distorted walking bass guitars and snapping drums give it this more swampy sound, and also the more punk rock sound of The Stooges or The Cramps. This release is the feeling of listening to a band and not 
just some guys who are making electronic music. 

This is an excellent juxtaposition of styles 
that is effective in both manners...

On Kaotic Dilemma, Modern Analysis, with special contribution from Dr.William Kincaid, the duo fiercely flips the musical script and sonic palette, coming with haunting, new colors to evoke forgotten dreams and
dystopian futures… influenced by lost Mayday tapes, this is a moody,potent, hallucinogenic synthesis of vintage machine rhythms,electronics and musicianship with a jakbeat philosophy and Detroit techno soul –– an unforgettable cut that will snap you far beyond 
the dance and far beyond the formulaic tributes 
goin around.

Modern Analysis - Kaotic Dilemma Soundbyte

Bjarki returns to трип with another EP brandishing five restructured doses of IDM from another galaxy. Using marching kick drums as a basis, oli gumm takes references from techno, gabber and trance and morphs them into something far less easy to categorise. 

‘oli gumm 2-2’ switches frantically between glistening synth cascades and bouncing kicks. ‘fork2-2’ is a subdued excursion through ominous, trance-inducing strings and skeletal percussion. 

Opening the B side, ‘7 filakaramellur lion bar’ spirals through warped vocals and acoustic contortions, followed by ‘hatann satann’, a high speed voyage through a demonic parallel universe. Closing off the EP, ‘sleikjó’ uses rolling drums to circle around a pit of sparse sonic oddities.
