Slacker - Goddam Noize / Tutikinegi

  • Share
  • When the name Slacker comes up in conversation its not long before someone reminisces about the first time they heard "Scared" ," Your face" or when they first heard a dj set from him. He's widely regarded as being before his time and to this day that tag still stands as being one of the pioneers of the dance music scene having to date put out a long string of ass kicking beats on endless labels including his own Jukebox in the sky..hell he's even had hand in riverdance ! First up is Goddam Waspy Noize which almost instantly is recognizable as a track from Slacker with distinctive guitar riff that gives a flavour of "Scared" and seduces us to listen more but that's only a tease as proceedings take a peaktime pace with a toxic mix of neatly stitched broken beats ,acidic synthlines and underlying vocal samples that lift the tone while the main vocal exclaims that this is "Goddam noize". Next take is Goddam Voodoo Noise which takes a twisted view adding a tribal groove with 4/4 beats and a techier spin with ear twangling rez'd stabs and tweaked energetic synthlines along with vocal cuts to push the aggressive edge. Track two Tutikinegi is a more laid back affair with lush spacey melodies that glide over a broken groove with ease and creative an emotive flow throughout .The tone is set as the track lifts further with sublime vocals that compliment the soothing atmosphere that flowers beautifully. The second OST mix of Tutikinegi is much the same as the first mix but with a closer look at whats happening throughout and focusing on tweaking a few more sounds,adding in a few more subtle uplifting melodies. Slacker supercedes the tag Dj & producer with an always fresh and exciting twist to his sound that continues to refresh.
