Our influences are many, broad in style, and so is our music. Beyond the fact that the primary body of the music is electronic our sound varies from ambiet/down-tempo dub to industrial with a lean towards IDM.
Anti Youth Squad was the combination of the works of Two local Pittsburgh Electronica Artist: Sweecent (formerly known as the Moleman who was the Pittsburgh winner of the 2005 nin remix contest) & D_crypt. Their style is diverse ranging from trip hop to IDM.
Pending the new release "Melotonine" (release date coming soon), i decided to offer you a part of my best recent works in a free EP, "Cupboard Replacement", downloadable in all numeric formats with special graphic art works by Flint on Music AutOmatiK's Website :
We can stay in contact on facebook now... Thanks for your support !
What’s Crackin’ Anti Youth Squad ? We’re hitting back our myspace folks to let you know that your prayers have been answered. What prayers, you may ask. Well, today my friends, the good reptiles over at Bossasaurus (namely the ones writing this message) have teamed up with Murs (Living Legends, Def Jux, 9th Wonder, etc.) to, for the first time ever, offer you a taste of our music with an emcee over them. If you hate emcees and were feeling the tranquility of our un-defiled instrumental works than we sincerely apologize for our critical error in judgment. Otherwise come on over and check out:
We hope you enjoy it. If you don't come thru and talk that sweet smack.
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 free so...

Sweet, keep me informed when you do. I probably won't have anything new for a bit, since I put up my newest song "Toxic" a week ago. And I have alot of graduation stuff to deal with. Busy, busy life. Heh.
