Every month, we pick out our five favourite flavours from the artists followed by rUbba nEck on Soundcloud; songs we think have something that makes them ear-bendingly brilliant. Here are the favourite five flavours for April:
Rise and Fail: Lowbob
This is a freebie from the guys from Hamburg. Opens with a double time bass drum and blippy percussion. There’s a really nice rush of pads that take us into more blips and something that sounds like someone playing their teeth.
Throughout, there’s a beautiful clarity of sound, even squashed by Soundcloud’s vicious compressors. And there’s never a dull moment. Enjoy the trip through short cut vocal samples and Commodore 64 game sounds. I was wondering about the name: could it be a play on ‘blow job’?
