ok niggaz!! as axpa mentioned we put out a split 7" in late 2010 with ronskibiitti dudes. anyone givin a shit should pick it up, i have less than 10 left, with a bonus CDR
mp3 klip:
http://www.umpio.com/mp3/umpioronskimainos1.mp3ronskibiitti guys come from a punk background and had the *nerve* to *evolve* and they got tons of backstabbin bullshit from all directions. crossover this, whoring that.... by the time we did this 7" their sound was goin deeper into skweee territory, which is, as far as i know, intentionally retarded and hard funk influenced. i know absolutely zero bout that stuff. point being: they explore and expose, which is cooler than what most do. i certainly hope they dont start doin lame "musical" beats like so many.
i did a run of 60 tapes called dub electronix, in which i compiled the more rhythmic klonks i had recorded... personally i think it turned out cool and i should do another edition one day.. soon i'll have enough for vol.2. its fukin insane when the dub hits ya!! try it!!
laineen kasperi at his best:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnqfq5vY5hI but, as much as i respect his craft, he also has done lamer sounding stuff after these times. his tongue is sharp, but his beats got pretty generic. for creepy/inventive/wtf i recommend those KAUCAS and KUMMITUSORKESTERI albums
but generally, as a phenomenon, hip hoppers blew it. they could have made it into a razor, instead they turned it to vaseline. dälek + public enemy kept their sound inspiringly dissonant and heavy.
and why the fuck they have to make it "musical" when theres tools to make it hard and obscure haha!!
also i once managed to pick up an amazing EP from russian rapper COMRADE. i know zero about this project except for this record. lo-fi and HARD hitting. even my russian friends whom i played it to agreed: exceptionally good. in case anyone cares:
heres an old pack of vinyl rips from my shelves, included are 7"s by Comrade + early Stilluppsteypa, enjoy!!damn, a huge spider just walked on my arm and is now staring at me from this keyboard!! (ö)
and fuk yea thanks for this GUNSHOT thing!!
