Co La

Following the release of his sonically dense House of Woo LP, on RVNG Intl in February, emcee, musician and stylistic dilettante Andrew Field-Pickering, aka Maxmillion Dunbar dropped his ‘Woo Daps’ mix today, free to download from the RVNG Intl Bandcamp.

Featuring unheard mixes, edits and reinterpretations by fellow crate-digger Aaron Coyes of Peaking Lights and Baltimore producer Co La, among others, Field-Pickering still manages that idiosyncratic ebb that carry his diverse points of reference.

Baltimore producer Co La‘s latest release, Moody Coup, out on Daniel Lopatin’s Software label last month, is probably one of the most underrated of the year. And that’s not least because of the exquisitely constructed rag bag of sounds formed into a fascinating, slightly unsettling, collage of modern day music in ‘Make It Slay’.

It’s one that’s fragmented, optimised and manipulated into a reality that’s endlessly weird, which is why this video by film maker Andrew Strasser, who’s also worked with the likes of Girl Talk and Anamanguchi is such a perfect fit. It’s a nightmarish depiction of hyperreal computer effects where everything is just a bit off and things are not what they seem. See the video below. **
