A Year of Music

Imagine, if you will, lo-fi retro-disco with a totally bloodshot dude doing stream of consciousness rapping in a style not entirely unlike the work of Wesley Willis (RIP). This, in essence, is Gary Cloud & the Gospel of Power’s “Puff Rider”, which is fun in a greasy, low-brow kind of way.

Now imagine it being remixed by one of the UK’s most talented electronic production teams. The result is still greasy and low-brow, but also sketchy and glistening. As I mentioned yesterday, Various Production are all over the place, and that’s part of what makes them so fun and irritating all at the same time. They never settle in one place, and they’re talented at coming up with curveballs like this one.
