Venetian Snares Rocks Your Face
Venetian Snares fucking rules. I remember way back when… my poor little mind got blown when I first heard Squarepusher. I didn’t know what Drum and Bass was and I’d never come across any of its bastard children before.
Breakbeat mania. Drum loops sampled, edited, filtered and re-sequenced into an avalanche of noise. Love it, love it, love it. The more manic hardcore influenced stuff has been labelled Breakcore.
Venetian Snares is making some of the best Breakcore out there at the moment. I picked up his latest album Rossz Csillag Alatt Szuletett this week. I’ve been thrashing it ever since. This is Breakcore with finesse. Built around orchestral samples and some fucked up breaks, it alternates between harsh noise and melencholy strings. The emphasis is very much on sadness, which is unusual in this kind of music — not that it’s exactly happy stuff anyway.
Reccomended to anyone who likes P-Diddy, John Farhnam or Maroon 5. This shit will sort you right out of that nonsense.
