I know what I want to hear, I want to hear some fucking beats that make
my neckbone snap. I don't give a damn about influences, just pop up the
compression on some rhythm chunks and cause a disturbance. Autechre?
Push Button Objects? Bleep. If you're gonna try some hip hop in your
little arrangements then it had better hop. Just because the song goes
under 110 BPM doesn't mean a damn thing.
