Mad-Hop is proud to present :

“Minoo – All The World (Remixes) ” Five tracks of remixes by producers from different parts of world.

Pixelord (Russia) Alexey Devyanin. He’s a Moscow-based veteran of experimental music, best-known for his Gultskra Artikler moniker. When we got to know that his new project is about BEATS, it was instantly clear that is has to be groundbreaking great. His debut four-track EP “Lucid Freaks” brings forth a mixture of spliffed-out 8bit riddims, stumbling Hip Hop beats and a pinch of Euro Dance glam. However unique, the weirdo plastic Pop of Glasgow’s Hudson Mohawke is echoed in his tunes as well as bass-driven digital Reggae, Jahtari-style.

Grillo (Italy) Born in a coastal town in Italy with a light skin tone Grillo found himself pretty much the only kid at the beach getting constantly sun burnt and scorched. These early recordings were a mix of old Italian  folksingers, video game soundtracks and long religious sermons from grandma’s collection of C-90s. Today, in addition to regularly collaborating with local rap acts, left-field electronics projects and rogue indie movie crews Grillo crafts his own blend of music consisting of crusty beats, vintage samples, 8-bit bleeps and field recordings: sounds like recycled crap yet an original voice somehow emerges from it all.

Himuro Yoshiteru (Japan) An electronic producer and DJ from Japan.Himuro’s first album Nichiyobi was released in 1998 by the English record label Worm Interface, alongside artists like Tom Jenkinson (Squarepusher) and Freeform. His releases are mostly within the electronic music genres of drum and bass, Electronica, Hip hop and Braindance, with a significant jazz influence .His style is often described in the media as very playful. It consists of finely chopped, fast rhythms in combination with jazzy bass and synthesizer lines and 8bit sounds (like video game music). In this area he is one of the prominent Japanese musicians of this time.

Tom Bednarczyk (Poland) Since 2004 he has been writing compositions presenting new pop  qualities through his fragile sounds. Until then, he has recorded three albums for the world-recognized ambient labels such as 12k or Room40. In the second half of 2011 Tom Bednarczyk is back with new deep house material kept in chilly and minimal aesthetics. Also establishes its own record called We Are Your Music Mate, which focuses on the issue of house, deep or minimal music.

Oknai (Slovenia) Got his rep mostly from his chopped up Ableton live sets, often referred to as clip chop. His first EP Ain’t a Dream is a record of raw, lo-fi drums, sometimes dreamy other times aggressive synths, sampled fragments from all over the place and unique arrangements all tucked someplace between glitchop, hiphop, IDM and the other…

The artists have prepared an excellent travel through the land of sounds. each remix is representing their variety of styles and showing off their skills. get ready fore more! this free release is promoting the up coming album on vinyl, which will be Mad-Hop´s first physical release! the album will feature some interesting artists and collaborations exploring the wide and joyful field of experimental hiphop. we hope you will enjoy this fine release, which is available for free.

Obor Haraburda” (which in Slovak means “Monster Crap”) is a sound tribute to the universe of science fiction b-movies, populated by alien invaders, dinosaur clones, ninja robots, mad scientists and of course angry giant mutants. With support of his sound curator Gaex and the international team of remixes (such as Grillo, Polyklinik, Digi G’Alessio and Dnte) Karaoke Tundra brings the blend of hip-hop beats, space arpeggios and movie samples on the first Mad-Hop artists release.

Seven compositions found on the “Dark Side Of The Sun” are wrapped in their own and uniquely combined way which makes the entire piece interesting and well-balanced. “Dark Side Of The Sun” has been released in the limited number of 130 digipacks supported by Mikołaj Noon Bugajak’s Nowe Nagrania.

\” Mad As Hell \” by KidVector

What began life as a last.fm group dedicated to the lunatic fringe of a rapidly exploding post-dubstep/wonky movement has now given birth to three exceptional compilations featuring the very best in maniacal mad-hop from around the world.

This mix is assembled exclusively with tracks taken from the forth release in the series, Mad-Hop Vol. 4. But these aren’t the nonsensical ravings of distorted minds, quite the opposite. The music on display here has been meticulously crafted by some of the most gifted producers currently at large from their respective psychiatric institutions.

The late Hunter S. Thompson once said “If you’re going to be crazy, you have to get paid for it or else you’re going to be locked up.” However Mad-Hop are giving the LP away for free here. So download and enjoy this prime example of what happens when you blur the lines between genius and insanity.

“About The Unskilled Worker” is Moa Pillar in the broadest sense, without grated devices but with the same ideas. In essence, it is impossibly vague but very fresh bass music with completely switched off “lasers” – they are replaced by musician’s favorite ethnic instruments. With the help of them and his own neon voodoo Moa tells the timeless stories of the ancestors and the birth of something new.

release date 14th of February
