Now You Know

Machinedrum

A cornerstone of early 2000s glitch-hop. Surgical beat-slicing meets a hazy, melancholic urban atmosphere across thirteen tracks of restless electronic exploration.

It's like hip-hop beats being put through a paper shredder and then taped back together by a genius.

A restless, late-night meditation on technology and urban solitude.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the percussion on Big Beauty Hose shatters into microscopic shards before reforming into a steady groove.
The sudden, jarring transition into the brief, metallic clatter of Drums of Steel.
The haunting, stretched-out vocal textures that anchor the nearly nine-minute sprawl of Jewlea.
