Some more DnB today. For this entry, I'd like to give an introduction to one of the coolest new names in the Drum and Bass world, as well as the incredible song that introduced me to him.
The man is Mistabishi. He signed to Hospital Records (High Contrast, Danny Byrd, etc.) in 2008, and then worked fast to release his own eclectic album called
Drop, in 2009. Liquid, dubstep, and acid sounds all have their place on this release. Some songs employ such beauty as Joni Mitchell vocal samples and Jaco Pastorius bass-lines, while others make use of more unconventional sounds, such as windshield wipers wiping away rain. Definitely a proper release as a whole, and recommended for sure.
The tune I wanted to highlight when I made this entry though, is called Printer Jam. Sounding like nothing else on the album really, and instead filled with the noise of printers scanning, jamming, and glitching, while a female computer voice tries to assist in fixing the errors. It still manages to be DnB...barely. This jam (pun intended) is crazy and worth hearing all by itself, but when you throw in the ridiculous video (seen below) it becomes an awesome experience. I've never felt the need to use this word as an adjective for music before...but I have to say that this song plus this video is ****ing
MENTAL. Easily one of the best dnb tunes of '09.
