Chocolate Grinder Mix 44
"Penniless And Rootin' For A Saw Tooth"
This mix goes for broke and doesn’t look back. Leaving all imitators in their wake, this collection of artists are pushing their synthesizers to new levels of noise and distortion that even a fervent drone fan could appreciate. While most of the entries here are fairly accessible, the depths that both Dolby Anol plumb, and the heights that We Love Machines ascend might leave a few people reaching for their ear plugs. The rest of us will pump our fists gloriously in the air while running full tilt on the gym treadmill.
