Mochipet - Microphonepet
(Instrumentals & Acapellas)
Cat: DCR130
Label: Daly City Records
Release Date: 05/01/2008
Format: Digital
Price: $10.00
Mochipet Godzilla New Year Single OUT NOW! with
Vibesquad, Ana Sia, Ant-en-nae, Mimosa, Nortec Collective,
and David Starfire
For this episode, he presents a sampling of some of the new material he's been using to destroy sound systems and convert nonbelievers. It's a massive thing, spastic but tightly controlled, somewhere between dubstep, glitch hop, ghettotech, and syrup-fueled Southern hip hop. And this shit absolutely lays waste to a dancefloor.
You can catch him along with Montreal's Turbocrunk (Megasoid, Lunice, & Hovatron), Robot Koch from Jahcoozi, Bass Science, and Lazer Sword on January 15 at his new monthly: Bass Camp @ 111 Minna. We're pretty sure this is going to be one of the freshest monthlies of 2009, and expect to see you there, wishing Mochi a happy birthday.
His latest release, Microphonepet, is available from Daly City Records, Amazon, iTunes, etc and features such MC's as Casual (Heiroglyphics), Raashan (Crown City Rockers), Mykah9 (Freestyle Fellowship), and Bicasso (Living Legends).
For the latest XLR8R Podcast, Daly City Records label boss David Wang, better known as Mochipet, showcases many different sounds from his label (as well as the many different ways one can wear a purple jumpsuit). Starting with his own tracks, off his Master P on Atari release, Wang unrolls a mix of future bass, warped hip-hop, and crunked-out electro, weaving in cuts from Eprom, The Flying Skulls, Lupe Fiasco, and his own remix of Jamie Lidell's "Little Bit of Feel Good." And there's that take on "Thriller," from the unreleased and brilliantly titled Michael Jackson Loves Dubstep. CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD

Trey Spruance (Secret Chiefs 3 / Mr. Bungle)
“Fucking incredible. Who are you? What the hell are you up to?? Very very nice CD. Let's just say that only a fool would not recognize your "adeptness". But I found it listenable too, which is great fun for me, since most of what I recieve from "on high" is rarely lacking in the gymnastics department, but in dire poverty in the "interesting, worthwhile, engaging" department. Clearly you are someone with enormous musical training - good to see it didn't ruin your vision as an artist. Nice work. I dream of the possibilities..."

“This is the record of your next gallery opening and/or backyard barbecue. If both Burt Bacharach and MF Doom are there. Quality. -Matt Earp”
BBC
“blends some of the more dissonant moments of Kid 606, Hrvatski and Lexanculpt into cut and paste drill and bass”
Absorb.org
“hearing this evokes the kind of feelings and wild imagery that kids in the 30s must have felt the first time they heard jazz, or swing, or that drum solo kick in”
Outsight: The Tommies 2002
Mochipet creates dense works of breakbeats and soundbites. There is a real absurdist quality to the music. – Tom Schulte

“This is not a symphony of staffs and strings, but of ports and plugs. The conductor is located stage right, peering at the screen of a borrowed Mac desktop. His given name is David Wang, but tonight he goes by Mochipet “ -Nate Seltenrich
Future Music Magazine (UK)
“It’s the sort of track any ad guy could use on a mobile phone campaign to instantly propel David to the kind of status enjoyed by Røyksöpp and a hundred other rich royalty collecting acts… Thing is, you get the impression that this is exactly where David doesn’t want to be. Oh well.”

Lucky for all us, EMO grindcore master, “Mochipet” just pulled a Dr. Phil to shed some light on this taboo subject

“You have to have a certain credibility amongst your peers and a certain respect from your audience. And you have to have a bunch of awesome talented people that are just waiting to get their dirty hands on all the work that’s made you into such a worthy star in the first place. Mochipet is just such an artist”
