12″ – Hardcore Beats
Sono ancora i Ctrl-Z & Screwface, agitando il loro moniker Stereotype, ad infiammare le crowd nu skool, forti di queste nuove incisioni, comprese per l’appunto nel primo di tre album sampler, denominati ‘What’s That Noize’. Noi partiamo dall’ascolto di ‘Sewer Gash’, traccia remixata dai Far Too Loud con Beardyman insistendo su d’un refrain fortissimo, infarcito di funk obliquo e digitale. Digressioni fuzzy, larvatamente psichedeliche e bassosissime – a 127 bpm – atte a fomentare con decisione una nuova era breakbeat. Si passa a 136 bpm con ‘Sickening’, assecondando una teoria già più volte esplicata in questo blog, che vede rispetto alla tradizione i ritmi virati – sia in alto che in basso – nelle loro punte più estreme. E infatti – con la title track – si torna subito a 126 battute al minuto, introducendo prima vocal tagliatissimi ed accelerati, poi apparecchiando sequenze electro fratturate e meticolosamente infettive. Questi produttori calcano anche loro la strada del nuovo: perchè qualità ed energia – adesso – sembrano da sole non bastare, se non supportate da un reale rinnovamento.
