In the latest of PMO's 'talk about artists he's getting into and should have a threads on MB' series of threads we have Venetian Snares.
VS is the name for the DJ Aaron Funk, who deals in fiercly experimental and often pretty loud electro. Listening to it it's clear this guy has no regard for time signatures or conservative song structures. If you like your disconnected Aphex Twin-style beats then definitely give him a go.
A quick rundown of the albums i've got...
Songs About My Cats
Not amazing i must admit, i read that it takes many listens for the apparant melodies that are there to be noticable, i don't think i'm there yet. :(
Winnipeg Is a Frozen Shithole
My favourite at the moment, got it simply because my friend told me some of the song names. Song is of course the wrong word here. This is powerful breakcore at its best, and in a far more concise package than the other albums. The distorted bass and drum patterns are just insane, and there's some brilliant sampling (the intro for 'Winnipeg is a Dogsh
it D
ildo' must be one of my favourites).
Rossz Csillag Alatt Született
At some points, while chilling a lot of the time, this album can actually be quite beautiful. The string sampling is inspired, where on the first track it can be used to jump and shock the listener later on it's used as a substitute for ambient synths. I could get to like this a lot.
This isn't actually anything like what i've heard yet but the video is cool.
