Subscript loads “Genetic Code” and it runs beautifully

Subscript – “Genetic Code” mp3

Subscript is such a perfect name for a DJ / electronic music artist / producer. In the end, a music composition is a software program, whether in the form of a score written by Bach and handed to a church organist in 1741, a piano roll reproducing the music of Scott Joplin in 1900, or a digital file, preserving in ones and zeros the work of composers and performers of every stripe today. The cerebral house rocker “Genetic Code” covers a wealth of sonic ground, subroutines running different samples and instruments, all mixed and mastered and finally downloaded as an mp3 file, to be faithfully read by our busy little CPUs and outputted as something we call music. Everything has changed. Everything is the same. Enjoy.

Monk Fly – “Super Heroes” mp3

E. Lec. Tron. Ic. A. Bzzt! Blip. That’s right, kiddies, get yr ‘lectronica on proper, with this grimey, slithering street interfizzle. The rightly named Monk Fly brings us the winged insectoid mp3 “Super Hero,” which rubs its little fore-thingys deviously together while meditating on all that unfolds before it inna urban mad-scape. Inventive, subversively compelling work from the “Streetisms Vol. 1″ collection.

When BROOKHAVEN’s Chorus Walks

BROOKHAVEN – “In June” mp3

Here’s a lovely instrumental track from Oakland, CA’s BROOKHAVEN, in their own ambient drone guitar style. It’s as if Joy Division left their angst at home and spent a nice afternoon with Brian Eno and some mild psychedelics. Exceedingly warm and inviting, like a sort of luminescent cocoon. You go in one side as an uncertain caterpillar, to emerge confident and beautiful 6:38 later as a well rested butterfly. Thank you, BROOKHAVEN.
