Ministry Of De-Fence

This record left our Ant feeling happy.
A newie 10" on De-Fence which is a various artists thing that features Eyechilds, On The Fly, Con Brio, MC Quake, Clock, On The Fly, WiQwar. It's called 'Ministry Of Defence'! This is kind of melancholy electronica with nice organic sounds. The drums sound particularly good. I've just flipped it over and there is some big bottom end pumping out thats all bleepy and grimey. Then there's a dark vocal track with multilayed vox with effects on them that sound well spaced out. A cool EP all in all.

What their label says...
This is the long awaited fifth release in the De-Fence 10” EP series, 10x10:05 ‘Ministry Of De-Fence’.
Featuring a mash up of Fence Collective artists across four tracks, this release takes the Fence Records ethos and puts a full electronic De-Fence spin on the micro indie label's sound.
Opening track ‘Get Your Shit Together’ sees Chicago based MC Quake hook up with De-Fence supremo OnTheFly for a phat slab of groove core funk. Come In Tokyo pare down from their voracious live performances for track two ‘Turning Around Like You’. Echoing reverby guitar, hypnotic vocals and subtle electronics lend a darker but ultimately uplifting tone to this track. Track three features a collaboration between Eyechilds and OnTheFly. ‘We Were Only Human' is literally a vocoded pantheon to electonica. Bleeps, quirks and melody, this track welds its own way, you have to try and keep up. The EP closer is an altogether darker affair featuring Con Brio and his specialist brand of cut up beats and shuffled noises.
