CANBLASTER.

Canblaster is doing some crazy IDM shit and I don't think you guys are even aware of it. His second EP, Master of Complication, was excellent. The highlight of it? His sampling of clock-related sounds and incorporation into flawless house rhythms. Observe:

But that's just the start. Digging further into Canblaster's discography reveals more gems--most notably remixes that completely tear apart and reimagine the original song into some abstract unsettling hellhole. Canblaster has a penchant for using strange sound effects, but he manages to use them with perfection. No, they do not become cheesy or overdone. You don't say to yourself, "Did he seriously just sample a tea kettle?" You say to yourself, "DID HE SERIOUSLY JUST SAMPLE A TEA KETTLE!?"

You'll see what I mean. The first song I'm linking you to is almost the epitome of this combination.

[youtubehd]mP1z7UbzamM[/youtubehd] (this song is far more "marble" than many of his other remixes. it focuses less on creative sampling and more on the "plastic" aesthetic that you hear on a lot of releases from the marble players, sam tiba and para one. interestingly, most of his original material has a similar focus as well.)

for this final song i want you to hear, i can only find an excerpt. he REALLY kicks it up a notch in this one. listen and note the absurdity of the sound choice:

You want more. Everyone wants more Canblaster. So I will link you to more.

I will link you to no more. Go on his soundcloud and explore.

Enjoyable. Thanks for posting.

That Drop The Lime Remix with the horse sounds is a lot of fun.

Canblaster is awesome, bumped Master of Complication loads. Shame he hasn't released much on vinyl

Hell yeah I'm not the only marble enthusiast up here ! His EP on Marble was really great, he's imo the most talented producer in the Club Cheval crew...He will be playing live in my town soon, guess I have no choice but go at that gig

Marble is probably my favorite label at the moment and yes, Canblaster is definitely the most talented. Sam Tiba shows lots of promise as well.

Been checking out lots of Marble since you linked them a few months back - thanks Hoodie!

Love that Marble Anthem track with the Bucephalus Bouncing Ball sample

And I'm looking forward to the Rustie remix of Surkin's "Lose Yourself"

quite good

C-C-C-C-C-C-C-CANBLASTER!!!!
