What do you get when you are raving around your evil chimerical lab and you accidentally knock your Sega Megadrive test tubes into your Footwork/Juke test tubes, causing a Sonic explosion and a deluge of audio detritus?

Obviously a *bleeping* mess.

But as you peer through the hazardous smoke and gag slightly on the noxious sulphursish fumes, your ears detect something new….

Something not quite Golden Axe and not quite Rashad; no longer rank with 8bit aliasing error and not quite ‘same repeating triplet vocal hook for 6 minutes’.

Instead, as the vapour clears, you find Slaine Kelly, motionless, poised, glistening; waiting patiently to rip your ear-sphincters a new one.

Trepidatious, but enticed, you scoop up the viscous mixture of hypnotic analogue drums, bleepy jagged leads and erratically sliced random vocal samples and pour it gently into your ear canal.

You probably shouldn’t have done that.

But it’s too late now…..

Razor edits, rattling bass, hyper synth stabs; all ingredients in the bootytune bonanza that is "YM2414 EP"

05 Slaine Kelly - The Passout

03 Slaine Kelly - Altered Yeast

02 Slaine Kelly - Badman Walking

01 Sleine Kelly - Scream Cream

Zek Duci Phylaxis is an arbitrary yet intricate exploration of sound design with self imposed limitations.

Both artists set themselves the task of creating each track only from a series of foley recordings Lysdexic had made.

Restrictions were placed on instruments that could be utilised, primarily Samplers / audio processing and Wavetables made only from the original foley.

The result is two relatively contrasting tracks, rich with texture and nuance but both revealing a surprising level of semblance to traditional electronic timbres & form found in contemporary electronic bass music.

If your curiosity runs deeper you can download the original sounds here and hear them before their mutilation.
Raw sounds have been truncated and loosely categorised but otherwise untouched.

Mizuxe is an angular off-beat, wonky hiphop number by Scott Stevenson. The A-Side is cacompanied by a remix by Rule Perty which isn't so much "jungle deconstructed" as it is simply discombobulated
