Zomby...

It annoys me when i have to keep listening to 30 second clips of artists like this on various vinyl websites because most of his songs are so hard to come by you would have to personally know them or have some kind of connection to hear all his songs...

anyway,
I personally like Zombys twisted 8-bit sounding ghetto tunes with their big snares, rigid claps, bloops, bleeps and all sorts of other lofi noises he can produce.

Some of his tunes are heavily influenced by what i can only describe as noise... sounding like they are just sounds that an 80s spaceship would make orbiting earth with really weird random arpeggio-ed Gameboy sweeps and bit crunched claps that have no reverb on them at all leaving the tracks very sparse and empty but at the same time makes you want to hear them again and again, over and over.

Zombys biggest songs for me are his Hyperdub releases, "Mu5h", "1up" and "gloop" are, for me, his biggest songs to date bringing some big style gangster beats with the most minimal sounds i have ever heard, which leaves me listening again and again to try and figure out how he makes the song sound so full and Big.

Keep up the big releases Zomby!

Lewis.
