One of the newer signees to the collective-based Dtrash Records,Venom8888 veers away from the label's usual (and excellent) digitalhardcore stylings and instead offers up a fine blend of noise,soundscapes and glitch.
Minimalistic in it's use of sound sources, thisdisc manages to be fully immersing nonetheless. Overdriven static rubsup against smoove groovin' hip hop on 'Check Me For Props' and thenoise nearly takes over completely on the remix that followsimmediately after. 'Venom8888 Pirate Radio' has thick, chunky beats,electro-vocal samples worthy of Afrika Bambatta and a great restraineduse of distortion. 'Battleline remix' sounds like v/Vm duking it outwith Kid 606 in an ozone wasteland and 'Eat My Pussy Please' has a lowdown feel that would be excellent for nocturnal cruising. All told anentertaining listen and well worth the price of admission.
