philip sherburne: What I Like About Wonky →

Anyway, this mixtape by Jamie Vex’d has just about everything I like about wonky right now. Those things include screaming leads, pitch-bend, beats that feel like they’re telescoping to a full stop, underwater sounds, sounds that sound like bongs in Tron would sound; talcum-clouded handclaps; zipper-factory field recordings; angelic choruses, demonic choruses; back-masking; rimshots; syncopated, Detroity chord stabs; full-on Black Dog homages; chart hip-hop mixed with what I could swear is Disjecta; spangles, icing, fringe, unnecessary cuffs; filter resonance; moments of almost shocking beauty; sirens.
Now that’s one hell of a description. Sign me up! Not surprisingly, I’m enjoying the mix as well.
