Check out my the song “Chi City” with Hood Internet from the forthcoming s/t Hood & Kid Static 7″ on Whistler/TTD Records. Directed by Ryan Gallagher for Lutraphobe Films. Record release party 9.11.10 at Lincoln Hall w/ Wallpaper, DVAS, Kid Color and Just Desserts…..NUCKA.
Never a force content to deliver obvious moves, the next release from the Racebannon juggernaut sees them joining forces with some friends and releasing…*gasp* a DJ-styled 12″ release. Yes folks, Wrap the Body!
A collaboration between Racebannon and Jilly Weiss (We Are Hex), and also featuring a full-blown remix from long time friendsYea Big, Kid Static and Stak; this is Racebannon at both their weirdest and yet most recognizable. Yes, the requisite churn, chaos, and darkness are all present and yes, Mike Andersonbelts out yet another genre-bending throat-box assault. The razor riffing is omnipresent, and the low-end hits like a depth charge. But the token Bannon weapons collide face-first with programmed beats, samples, and an instantly frenzied vocal contribution from Weiss, who sounds like a banshee possessed by equal parts PJ Harvey, bad acid, and Satan herself. The end result is something that is immediately memorable, catchy, scary, and downright original. [More]
You know we like to keep it light and fresh around here. So when Jacob Safari hit me up on some “you wanna get on this track.” I was like “Yes.” Free summer jam from us to you. Wallpaper, the men behind Booty Tweet Is The New Booty Call and a raucously controversial 99 Problems remix collab with Jacob Safari of Mae Shi fame, and yours truly.
New heat from Yea Big + Kid Static off of their album “The Future’s Looking Grim” dropping April 1st.
You ever wonder what it would sound like inside a video game? If this track ain’t it, it’s definitely close. It’s an ode to our favorite 8 bit game hero MEGA MAN!!!!!!!!!! Rowdy synths surround the banginest kicks on this soundtrack to an 8-bit getdown. Get Some.
