The next super strange release is by Acidic Male and Rotor Militia on Double Cross. As before the label keeps pushing sound somewhere you’d never expect it to be. But it fits neatly wherever it is. The third installment on the label turns into unchartered territory. The first two tracks on the A-side were written by Acidic Male and feature compositions that are as far away from the average that they cannot be even classified anymore. On the flip Rotor Militia equally challenges the listener with rhythms that broke out of every grid. The flow of both tracks is amazing. […]

This is clearly another release that is highly recommended to every breakbeat and weirdness lover out there. The release is already quite old but has not lost any of its charm. It’s a crusty rough estimation of how far human development might go. In the end it’s just noisy broken shit from the past, polished for the future. But it’s lovely, just trust us here. On the surface you’d tend to call it breakcore, but in the end it’s way more than that. It freely borrows from a large variety of cultural artifacts, seamlessly interwoven into a grid of distorted […]

For some reason the aesthetics of chiptune music along with crushed breakbeats create a very peculiar vibe. Of course, this somehow always triggers some nostalgia, be it from video game soundtracks or early rave records. This grittiness has been captured so perfectly with the “Chipbreak Alliance” compilation by the Sydney City Chiptune Ministries. While the name alone means serious business, so does also the compilation itself. With a compilation of this size, you wouldn’t believe that there are so many good tracks on it. The range of tracks is wide and every one of them features a ton of breaks. […]

Well, this time, you can not only get your hands on some decent tunes, moreover you can get a whole sample pack on top for free. Actually, the EP was originally released 2 years ago on Dancefloor Impact Research and now has been rereleased along with the samples on Somatic Responses’ own bandcamp account. All 3 original tracks by Somatic Responses are as usual unmatched. Especially convincing are also the additional 3 remixes by FFF, 1clap and Enduser. Each and every track on this EP delivers a rich and colorful palette of sounds. The whole release sticks out due to […]

As one of the most interesting breakbeat scientists out there, Christoph de Babalon always surprises with unmatched sound design. The EP “Ach Mensch” is no exception to that rule. It features four incredibly well programmed tracks, each unique in its own terms. Drums grow organically while haunted, dreamy soundscapes lead the way. Every single track carries a melancholic vibe along that sets the mood for the next 22 minutes. The strange and orchestral EP simply knows how to deliver atmospheres that just hit the sport. Despite the EP being on point at all times, it somehow manages to remain abstract […]
