Doormouse - Mama Didn't Raise No Punk, I Made Myself One EP

djlargetesticles, Feb 27, 2006

The real gem here is Toxic Jungle. I remember hearing it for the first time on Doormouses "Soft And Gentle" tape and couldnt believe that music like this existed. Five years on and it doesnt sound dated at all, to my ears. I still play this track regularly.

This is a great track for mixing because of the synth lead that takes up the first minute or so. Seems simple enough at first, but listen closely and youll discover a complex, polyrhythmic piece of pure 8 bit sounding genious. Then theres that evil, growling bass drop and a beautiful mess of amens. Classic Midwest hardcore.
