Zyxbotcba Homemade Acid

For its 56th release, Da ! Heard It Records revels in reviving rave.
After releasing a first record in 2011 on Da ! Heard It, Astroboiler changes tapes in 2022 and surprise: it is covered in smileys.
Under the name of Zyxbotcba, the musician serves us here a mix of artisanal sonorous fractals with a sour scent. Among the bouncing blips and other roughly digitized vocal samples, old school rhythm boxes and synthetic layers all smoothly will remind the elders of their first mixes.
Reminiscent of IDM stammering and more generally of the electronic effervescent of the 90s, these 11 euphoric pills offer a mental panorama more neon than a cesium 137-flavored highlighter tropical cocktail. Homemade recipe, shake after opening.
