Estas vacaciones (causa de mi ausencia la semana pasada) provocaron un cambio dramático en mi: adiós la cumbia y los ritmos tropicales, bienvenidos los bajos densos y los temas a 130 BPM. Bajo el marco del dubstep, el grime, el jungle, el drum n' bass y el 2step y teniendo como telón de fondo los ghettos suburbanos de Inglaterra, este Viernes de Fiesssssta intenta dar una pincelada retrospectiva a la mejor música salida de la isla británica en los últimos 15 años (con un par de invitados sorpresa, como siempre). Alejado de la música que suena en las [...]
Playlist para un miércoles errante. Mitad de semana, para un playlist sonámbulo que se despierta a mitad de la noche en el sillón sin saber cómo pasó de la cama al sofá. Recuerdos de un sueño, a mediodía, con una luz radiante, mirando el reflejo del sol en el verde de los árboles. Palace Brothers, The Sea and Cake y una que otra sorpresa del dub underground. Squarepusher y Tortoise, en tonos ocres. Rex aporta el burdeo, al observar como un haz se disuelve en colores en la transparencia de la copa. Rodan, Gastr [...]
Hip hop tends to sit at the forefront of any discussion surrounding sampling. With good reason, some of the most high profile legal battles on the matter have been waged over the useage of a snippet woven into someone's beats. From the 1990s on, sampling has been a contentious legal issue for those looking to dialogue with previous generations of artists in order to craft something wholly new, and those who simply see music as commodity and sampling as theft. Sampling as [...]
So what happened in 2009? The economy went south, MdM posting was slacking, and the world turns gospel and hymn. I guess we have our Simon & Garfunkel moment. Animal Collective - My Girls Merriweather Post Pavilion ( Domino ) If you want to know why Animal collective is popular, then look no further than early american hymn. This is why so many people like them despite the strange blurry recording, while to others the sound simply doesn't compute. The danceable rhythm section is just added side attraction. If [...]
Filed under: Electronic , Exclusive , Between the Notes It used to be that if you liked a song, you'd fire up your Discman and put it on repeat.

Once reserved for underground visionaries, the term 'mash-up' has become commonplace in the wake of 2.0 culture.

DJ Spooky is a turntablist, a producer, an author, postmodern intellectual, among other things. He has been described as the king of 'illbient' which combines the hip hop slang term 'ill' (a positive expression: bad meaning good) and 'ambient'. In 2007, Spooky made a film called "Terra Nova Sinfonia Antarctica" which really exemplifies how he uses his music to connect with nature and the world around us (in this case, specifically Antarctica). He actually ventured to Antarctica with a waterproof microphone and captured field recordings of the resonant frequencies of crystalline ice. Combining [...]
October is Octo meaning Eight, but is the 10th month. Dr Octagon is an extraterrestrial time traveling gynecologist , but also Kool Keith.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK: BESIDES METALLICA AND LOU REED, WHAT IS THE WORST COLLABORATION BETWEEN A METAL BAND/ARTIST AND A NON-METAL BAND/ARTIST? AND WHAT IS THE WORST ONE YOU COULD POSSIBLY IMAGINE IN YOUR WILDEST NIGHTMARES?
Banner Designed by Cysquatch Welcome to "Question of the Week," a (not really at all) weekly debate amongst the MetalSucks staff regarding a recent hot button issue.

ALBUM OF THE DAY — SPAWN: THE ALBUM
If memory serves, the Spawn movie which came out in 1997 was pretty terrible, but we did get one great thing out of it: the soundtrack. It was pretty much like the Judgment Night soundtrack, only instead of combining metal bands with rap acts, it teamed up metal bands with electronica acts. And every song [...]

Girl Talk, DJ Spooky and DJ/Rupture Mix Beyond the Mash-Up
Filed under: News , Exclusive , New Releases Nowadays it takes next to no time to craft a sonic collage of your favourite (or least favourite) music. That's rad for any of us who ever wondered what it'd be like if Jay-Z dropped rhymes over the 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang' theme with beats by Technotronic and backup vocals from the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.

the secret song.
did you know led zeppelin is one of the most sampled bands in american hip-hop? no? well, neither did i! we kind of slept on this one as it's been out since early october, but the video is well worth the watch. after dj spooky delves into some of the key concepts on this album you'l probably want to see the DVD. one of these concepts he briefly touches on is the interconnected nature of music, art, and economics. i haven't quite wrapped my head around how the secret song is appropriated to "the invisible hand" but i guess [...]
