A couple posts back we announced we’ve been working with B-more experimental footwork artist howse. Here’s his contribution to our mix series, possibly the rowdiest, jankiest Astrocast yet.
Large sectors of 2011′s global experimental electronic music cyber-community have soaked up juke like it’s the new dubstep, and in this environment there’s a huge difference between those people who’ve tuned into Planet Mu’s output alone and those people who’ve dug deeper into its roots.
This mix taps into Chicago itself, into the entire cultural phenomenon of juke: the music, the footwork, the general lo-fi ghettotechnical genius. It also gives listeners a sense of the basis for howse’s original music, for how truly innovative and abstract his tunes are.
Which brings us to ‘trakz EP,’ howse’s latest effort, which is all set to drop here September 9.
