PRESENTING A NEW RECORD LABEL, AND MY RETURN TO MUSIC UNDER THE MONIKER, 'STRANGEFLOW,' w000t!!!
What is this album? TL;DR:::: If Stockhausen and George Clinton had a weird psychedelic baby with 12 fingers and a stutter and lived in some weird half-way dimension and saw ten kinds of purple that nobody else could see----THIS would be the musical representation of that messed up little baby.
WEIRD FUNK!!!!!!
With a noisy, experimental as hell mixture of retro funk melodies, modern electronic / rave elements, StrangeFlow (ME) returns with a two hour album to get you grooving as wonky as possible. This is also the first release by his own label, Sidewayz Funk Records, so expect many more exciting albums and releases in the future! The album is free for a limited time (or until all the free-links are downloaded... bandcamp only gives out a certain amount). Grab it now and get wonky. Weird funky avant-garde hardcore mayhem...
With forty-seven tracks, there's bound to be something on here for electronic fans to get up on. So get up on the downstroke, get that "SIDEWAYZ FUNK" sound into your soul and let it grow like a tape worm until it destroys you from the inside out. It's a medical problem you actually DO want. Don't look for too many 'EDM bangers,' (i fucking hate that phrase) though there are some fucking insane tracks on here... And if you can understand the lyrics to 'More Dap,' you're my personal hero, and I also would recommend time with a therapist, as that track is crooked as a house slowly falling into a sinkhole in Florida.
Tracks like, 'Break the Sky' and 'Garbage Island,' are the most... I don't know... "mainstream"-ish tracks, though I don't know if I could even go that far and call any of it mainstream. It's that real raw funky underground electronic chaos shit...with some nice melodies...
THIS IS NOT for the EDM fan who just learned about Daft Punk a year ago, or who regular listen to Avicci (spellcheck? I'm not gonna bother googling his name) ... but for the headz who want something fun and FUCKING DIFFERENT.. A "punk" manifestation of electronic patterns and aesthetics. Dada Bass, for anyone who knows what dada is... (I've been asking around... so far it seems like a lost art movement) anyway though, whatever, enough of this fucking write-up. Check it out for yourself. If you like it, awesome, feel free to get it (and donations are VERY appreciated, this one took months and I hope to fill my refrigerator at least once or twice because of this album, lol)... If you hate it, which many will, that's all good, send me lots of hate mail and I'll bake you a blueberry pie and eat it in your honor. I might do some kinky things to it first, but, you know, REALITY, right?
BTW, first track really introduces the album, so if you want a straight listen-through, I recommend starting there...
