dem hunger - caveman smack

This is really fucking good, I've been playing this a lot these days. I just love sound collages.

*KILLER DEBUT FROM DEM HUNGER, FUSING SQUASHED BEATS, HEAVILY NARCOTIC FOUND SOUNDS, DRONES, 8-BIT SYNTHS, FIELD RECORDINGS AND FILM SAMPLES - INCLUDES TWO TRACKS EXCLUSIVE TO THE CASSETTE EDITION!* Dem Hunger gets our weekly WTF?! award for his debut release 'Caveman Smack' on the Leaving Records label. And believe us - this is a very good thing. A little research tells us this fella is behind a string of highly respected mixtapes, which makes a lot of sense when you encounter the psychotomimetic collages of his music. It's like The Gaslamp Killer has finally lost it and locked himself in the studio pretending to be the alternate personalities of Madlib and Phillip Jeck with only a broken MPC, a copy of Eraserhead and a crackpipe full of DMT for company. This is mental, incredible music. Very Highly recommended!!!

Anyone ?

I prefer the works by DAK on the same sub-label. Though Dem Hunger's stuff is pretty cool too. Also, the guy is really weird if you've seen him post on the internet and such. He obviously seems to be trying to be weird/funny but it's just not funny or interesting, just like kind of annoying/stupid/generally weird in an unappealing way.

I haven't heard of DAK. Got any link ? I find DemHunger's music very original and new.

I said he's on same sub-label of alpha pup: http://leavingrecords.com/

I listened to the samples on Boomkat earlier this week as the write up caught my interest, but didn't really feel like I got the sense of it from the samples. Might have to snag it. Seemed more interesting than the DAK samples I also listened to then.

Yeah, the samples are not enough. The tracks are quite long, and have lots of differents parts in it. They are worlds in themselves and can't be perceived by mere samples. Feel free to pm me.

He has a lot of previous albums that he put out online for free as well.

dirty, nasty, bizarre. mosque vibrations is a killer track. i wish he further developed some of his ideas, but then the music would lose that stitched-together mixtape feel, which is also an interesting format.

really really outstanding stuff! wish i had a cassette player

Every one should be getting a cassette player that doesn't already have one.

Almost every blog post as a link to a zip! Just opened one randomly and it was the complete Durlin Lurt album "Him Jenson" also on Leaving Records. This is some raw shit!

So Leaving Records is a sub-label of AlphaPup?

yeah, Alpha-pup does all of their online distribution etc.

Digging this label. Might have to get one of these cassettes. Comes with an art booklet, bonus tracks / remixes and is limited to a 100 copy run!
