Not to be confused with the Black Metal act of the same name. This is the pseudonym of Marcos Ortega who joins the ranks of Ras G, Samiyam and the Gaslamp Killer with his debut release on Flying Lotus' Brainfeeder label. This is dark techy hip hop with a slight dubstep swagger at times and even nods to the darker end of the old Bristol trip-hop scene. Some heavy tracks on here that are well worth crankin up. There's also a bit of that crunked up gangsta style that Joker does so well combined with that new fangle wonky laser action and some big basslines. Definitely one to watch I reckon.
