Newcastle producer Slime releases impressive mixtape and this is a key track. Nice mixture of low-key british electro with some nicely flavoured Hiphop, right?

Slime Ft. Jeremiah Jae - Patrica's Stories
Album: In The Brick House (Mixtape) (2014)
You guys must probably think, oh, here he comes again, with his Death Grips-mania. Cause yes, the punk-rappers that have seemingly lost every attachment to other music forms, have dropped a record, which is pushing the absolute boundaries of modern music. Even Pitchfork is now on their side. Let yourself be mesmerized by this 7-minute trip to another dimension.

Death Grips - Hacker
Album: The Money Store (2012)
I'm not a frequent Hiphop-listener, but I do occassionaly reach out to it. I did so again, a while ago with Death Grips. They've already been named on of the top names to look out for in 2012. But in my area I have heard not one person recommend this band, even though this album is around for two months now.
Death Grips is an experimental Hiphop collective from California,(Don't expect any West-Coast Hiphop though.) and they are not for the faint of heart. As I can imagine people to be scared off by this album. Don't let it happen, give it time. (I know I did.)If I had to write this two months ago, I wouldn't have been so positive.
The whole album is very solid, no track on it that doesn't live up to the band's upcoming name. Heavy and original basslines together with insane lyrics that will certainly stick, and live drums. Songs like hacker, I've seen footage, The Fever will stay in the band's live repertoire for years to come. Listening to this album for a while now, the beats still surprise me now and then, they,re unexpected, fresh and bold. Although I'm not a huge fan of Stefan Burnett's (forming Death Grips together with Andy Morin and Zach Hill) voice it suits most of the songs pretty good. This is the kind of album, you like to see on an new group. It's good, but you constantly have the idea, it can still get a lot better and that we have only seen the tip of the iceberg.
No performances are scheduled in this part of the world, because, after two months of performing they have decided to already make a new album. Sweet!
