Title:  The Broklyn Beats (SIC) 7 Series Artist:  Doily, Criterion, DJ/Rupture, Rotator, Broklyn Beast, Donna Summer, 1-Speed Bike, I-Sound -Compilati Label:  Broklyn Beats Records Format:  CD Price:  € 12.00   Mp3 samples:   1   2

Title Description:
Criterion's "Race Traitor" layers a sample of Louis Farrakhan (actually it's Dick Gregory) over a monotone bassline and beats that sound like he's been watching too much TV with aluminum foil on the antenna. Rupture's records have always sounded like the coming Armaggedon time in the Middle East, and here "Rumbo Babylon" and "Descarriada" carpet bomb your ears with daisycutter snares, rapid tics of dancehall chatter, strangulated oud wails and a great snippet of "I'm Waiting for the Man." "March of the Oil Barons" by Broklyn Beast (Criterion, doily and DJ Churchshoes) is as relenteless as it should be, while "The Vampire Strikes Back" imagines the Shrub as the main character in Blackula. Even the not expressly political material sounds great: doily's halting, busted machine dub; Rotator's furious brerakcore; I-Sound's MDMA dementia Old School rave cut-up; Donna Summer's delirious "Popxplosion".
