Electromeca - Riddim EP mp3 download

Nalmezar

This record sounds like a stuttering, Tourette's afflicted drum machine, and I mean that in a good way. In the breakcore realm (or whatever you wish to call it), there are a lot of very technically skilled producers, but many times they end up sounding not all that different from each other. But when you listen to an Electromeca track, you know that you are listening to an Electromeca track. To my ears, the only artist putting out anything similar would be Electric Kettle, but it's still a different flavor. This record, like his others, is groovy, funky as hell and uses a lot of unique sounds, rather than relying the tried and true formula of gabber kick + amen. The rhythms are very complex and will often stop on a dime and change directions completely. On this record, you also get some nice locked grooves to play around with. I'd have to agree with the previous comment in saying that this was one of the best records to come out at the time. His releases since have been sporadic, but certainly never to be slept on. Place Electromeca in your "buy on sight" category, if you have one.

In my opinion, one of the best "breakcore" records of 2003, although stylistically it stands apart from the crowd. It's distorted breakbeats to be sure, but the ever-changing hard beats riff on the percussive patterns of hiphop and dancehall without relying on ripping samples directly.
