Static Quo

Static Quo - Plug in, Turn up, Dub out! (2008. Free Noise Records)
Available soon! The first release from my new label, Free Noise Records, the disc is a breakcore explosion blurring the lines between questionable uses of sampling (including the still-fresh pioneering art of the ’mystery loop’) and blatant attempts at making 60s-era psychedelic folk music with a strong drum ’n’ bass influence! Combining authentic, original sounds and instruments, including organs, synthesizers, breakbeats, and all-original vocals; as well as incorporating interesting (and often rare) samples from the hey-day of the original psychedelic era, ’Plug in, Turn up, Dub out!’ tears through your eardrums without mercy! With stylish, unique, and meticulously-edited sonic blasts; and with a vocal style sounding similiar to a weird combination of Johnny Rotten, Bob Dlyan, the Beastie Boys and Jack White (with lyrical themes ranging from self-invoked pyschedelic trips, personal liberation, social commentary, and even a couple love songs) this album would do well on the shelf next to either Venetian Snares or Kid606, about as comfortably as it would sit next to Iron Butterfly, Os Mutantes, and Steppenwolf!
Static Quo - Lysergic FolkBreaks (2007. Free Noise Records.)
A relentless dip in a pool filled with electric koolaid, the listener is taken on a noisy yet beautiful trip exploring the sonic depths and peaks of what is possible and impossible with electronic music. Finding completely new territory for breakcore to go into with tracks such as ’Blur,’ borrowing from turntablism and dance music to create a new kind of airy, organic style that takes electronic music as far into the woods as it has ever dared gone before (and in a very tripped out, bouncy way) Lysergic FolkBreaks Although at times light, smooth, and slowed down; it’s also meticulously spliced together in a very rhythmic, albeit noisy and aggressive, way. If that description doesn’t seem to do it justice, you might say the album invents it’s own tweaked out groove-language capable of balancing meaningful, anthem-esque singable vocals alongside unending, rhythmic, psychedelic noise that you CAN dance and/or mosh to if you were so inclined!
Static Quo - Mix for my Friends (2006. Special Records.)
Static Quo’s ’Mix..’ was originally intended as a Christmas gift for his friends, with every track a different personal anthem for each one of his buddies. Ranging from hard-as fuck blues-breakcore-fuckarounds like the hilarious track, TC, or a remix of Fergie’s single, London Bridge going out to Josh (dedicated to an ambiguously-themed pop track he always loathed hearing on the radio) or the song mixed for his friend Kate, a fun, breaks-heavy track based around the career of Ringo-Starr. Mix for my Friends is a goofy album with the potential to incite laughter as much it can make a raver want to play with glow-sticks in a dark room! Download this album FOR FREE
