Kessenchu - Music to Fap To

Caleb McPherson's project Kessenchu is rather more aggressive and unlike really anything I've posted thus far. Overall, he creates a chaotic blend of digital hardcore, breakcore, gabber, and plenty of other things not necessarily within the mainstream. His recent "Music to Fap To" is an attempt at what is called 'lolicore', and although I've enjoyed what I've heard of the genre, I've never exactly understood what defines it. As last.fm states, "Lolicore is characterized by heavily distorted, high-pitched loli vocals, 8-bit extreme tempos, frequently accompanied by techno beats". In other words, this is some good obnoxious fun.

Eddie 'Flashin' Fowlkes - Black Technosoul

One of the seemingly lesser know originators of techno, Eddie 'Flashin' Fowlkes, is the self-proclaimed godfather of 'techno soul'. Growing up on a healthy diet of Motown and soul and receiving his first mixer in 1977, Eddie will go onto recording his first single "Goodbye Kiss" on Metroplex in 1986. This album, and along with many of his others, were released on the ever-so-famous Tresor out of Berlin, this being the third. Black Technosoul was such a pleasant surprise the first time I listened to it with its high energy, helping the explain his nickname 'Flashin'.

Kyle Hall - Sun Goddess EP

Those people who view this blog and myself seem to agree that Kyle Hall's fantastic, so here's another release. It's a bit more recent than the Worx of Art EP 1 I posted earlier but still off of his Wild Oats label. Again, this album can be bought through his myspace.

Stone Coma - Booty Jam Smash Mix

Alright, I'm not even going to lie here, this is a mix I personally did. Yes, self-promotion. It's essentially a Ghetto tech/house and booty mix and the first one I've ever recorded, so it's a little rough at times, but I find it overall satisfactory. I just wish I didn't have to use the digital mixer on my DJ program because for whatever reason I can't use my physical mixer to record with. In all likelihood it's a hardware issue. Oh well, I did put a good amount of time into it and I hope you find it enjoyable. Thanks for the support SynthSD viewers!

1. 313 Bass Mechanics - Puff, Puff, Pass

Model 500 - Night Drive

Night Drive is one of the first Model 500/Metroplex releases and a Detroit classic. The primary track, Night Drive (Thru-Babylon) was supposedly inspired by the drone being dispensed from the factories off of a Detroit freeway, which melds together quite well with the themes within early techno. The term 'transmat' used (taken from the name given to a transportation device in Doctor Who) will later be taken up by Derick May to name his own label. On another note, the only difference between the first and second tracks (Night Drive (Thru-Babylon) and Time Space Transmat) is that the former contains Juan Atkins vocals while the latter does not.

Leopard Moth - Skate Session EP *SYNTHSD EXCLUSIVE*

Leopard Moth has been cool enough to release this EP only on Synthetic Sounds Detroit! The music of Dane LeFevre includes a lot of instrumental samples and almost weird indy/no-wave characteristics He's rather new to the scene, but he's bringing something original and interesting (in a good way) to the table, so to speak. While Leopard Moth is still experimenting and building himself, it should be exciting to hear his future work.

Here's a brief video of one of his live performances:

313 Bass Mechanics - Dress to Sweat

DJ Nasty simply went under "313 Bass Mechanics" for multiple releases for Databass (which this album is on) and Breakin' Records. The only significant difference I can sense between this and DJ Nasty is a greater push in the direction of electro. It almost seems bizarre how there's also a 'clean' version of the "Suga Daddy" track on here. Doesn't censoring ghettotech defeat some sort of purpose ( joking, kind of)?
