Well, Venezuelan-born beatmaker Cardopusher‘s been a busy little bee lately with not one but two EPs out soon. The first EP, ‘Instant Loving’, is already out on UK-based label Frijsfo and the second, an 80s-inspired Electro-romp entitled ‘Goldo State’ is scheduled for a mid-October release on Iberian Records.

Enduser – 1/3
After a pretty quiet year in 2009 – and by “pretty quiet” I mean “deathly silent” – Enduser is dropping his new EP on us in much the same way that Wile E. Coyote drops anvils. It’s called 1/3 which would imply 2 more offerings in the future and possibly a new LP. That’s all speculation so don’t come crying when it doesn’t happen.
I’m completely blown away by this release. It’s good to see someone putting out a full-blown breakcore release in a time when bassline and funky are the dominant forces. Honestly, this is the kind of music I’ve missed for a while: harsh, fast breaks and snares with dark, eerie synths. Coupled with the almost soulful, ravey vocals this release is sure to become a breakcore classic.
What’s really exciting is he’s included some lush melodies with his trademark abrasive snares. Also, the instrumentation on 1/3 could almost have been a post rock or shoegazer tune – until the gabba kicks flare up, of course. The whole EP is really strong but it’s Cardopusher‘s remix at the end which makes things REALLY interesting. I’ll not say much more but you really have to check this EP out. Good lord!
Also, the warm-hearted folks at Ad Noiseam have allowed me to offer you a cheeky free mp3 for your troubles so tuck the fuck in.
