""Having broadcast international electronic music for 25 years, including the barrage of emerging internet talent, I can safely sat that 2nd Mouse is at the forefront of glitch/IDM, turning highly chopped samples of seemingly chaotic sounds into tightly woven compositions of ever changing melodies. Strong percussion and fast-paced rhythms are mixed with tiny music and vocal segments to produce Chris Hunter's trademark sound.
The high energy of 2nd Mouse percolates throughout his tracks; even slower and ambient pieces are poised to burst out with colorful displays. Using Aphex Twin as a reference point doesn't do 2nd Mouse full justice. It's better to describe him as the next wave of musical genius that's been launched and inspired by Richard D.

"With so many bedroom artists passing off their solipsistic, random meanderings as 'IDM', it makes a refreshing change to find an artist such as 2ndMouse in amoungst the pile. 2ndMouse brings back all it is about the genre that made us fall in love with it in the first place - complex, sublime and evolving melodies against a backdrop of intricate, stochastic and incredibly satisfying glitch-ridden beats. 2ndMouse's music sits equally well with the IDM classics whilst retaining a explorative edge - constantly expanding his compositional ideas throughout many BPM's, substyles and instrumentations - pushing the envelope and contributing to the growth of the genre as a whole. Highly reccommended."

NEW GROSS PROPHET EP ETHIC AVAILABLE ON Fwonk* TOTALLY FREE!
From the site: Gross Prophet returns to Fwonk* with a second EP of intense glitchery, square wave synths and pounding beats, bringing to mind the works of Aphex Twin or Kid 606. The beats stay arhythmic and the production is crisp, distorted and off kilter in all the right places.
Check it out! I wrote a free book on music production! It's for total beginners, but if you aren't new to music production, maybe you'll still learn something... at least you can send it to your friends who always want to ask you a billion questions about music production! It's totally free too; my goal with this is to accumulate as many BFF's as possible.
