Madteo - Bugler Gold Pt 1

Big news in the music biz this week - Will Bankhead and Joy Orbison have teamed up to do a label and this s-weet sucker is the first slice of wax to hit the stores. Not heard Madteo before but his sound is flipping mental! A real murky mash-up of House, Techno and Hip-Hop influences turned on their head, fed through audio destruction software, slowed to an inappropriately chongy speed then burnt onto a CD-R that skips like crazy. It's body music for people with an incredibly short attention spans. Flip it and the B-sides are slightly more forgiving in-terms of beat consistency. They're also much livelier in a melodic sense with 'Scream Seq. 2' being a stand-out moment of sampling genius. I'm really enjoying these skitterish instrumentals but I'm not entirely sure what the rest of the world will make of 'em. Guess you'll have to give it a spin to find out. Make that sampler break fool!
