Cripes!!! After not hearing from Ra for ages he also has a split EP called 'Ultrafood' on Ad Noiseam with Mad EP who can also knock out some tasty wares. 'Night Drunken Pavement' is based around a guitar sample which is manipulated within an inch of it's life and works really well.The Mad EP mix takes the blueprint even further into sinister electronic territory while the Ra mix of 'Maudlin Marauder' delivers some emotional strings and bad ass dirty beats. On 'Team Awesome VIP' Mad EP goes for the Amen cut and shut job, again with a nice use of samples. Having them both remixing each others tracks works really well but is confusing the hell out of me. The sleeve has a big electronic bug looking like it's about to eat the worlds biggest cheese and ham salad sandwhich.
Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
What their label says...
Fresh, flavourful and savoury, “Ultrafood” is the meeting of two audio cooks who share the same forward-thinking view on the hip hop recipe, and are not afraid to reshape it from the ground up, frying tightly hacked beats and samples, backing rich, changing melodies and adding clever, tongue-in-cheek vocal toppings. “Ultrafood” is a three-star menu which will leave a long, delicious taste to every palate, may it be human or robotic.
