The guys who have already remixed bands like
The Very Best, and put on enjoyable shows at fests like CMJ, so naturally news of their debut album
No Mas is exciting. We're strapping on our freak-out hiptronica dancing shoes and heading to the, somewhere! We like these guys because unlike other electronic record spinners, for this new record, their beats and jams aren't jacked from old recordings. These guys are starting from scratch with their pads and bleeps, reconstructing and reconstructing the jukebox of noise in their heads.
If you've ever seen Javelin you know they travel with a ton of old boomboxes, and they actually make noise that contributes to the show. Every little detail matters to these guys, who secretly calculate their every move while seemingly running in every direction possible. A bunch of "musical omnivores" that "work their music like a rabid radio dial, leaving a tricky trail of sonic breadcrumbs in their wake." According to the band, they gave up finding their style years ago... we'll see if they've forged their own genre when the album drops.
No Mas is out 4/20 on Juaka Box.-
