Sounds Like
DrumNbass like you've never heard before. melt banana, lightning bolt, dieselboy, john coltrane, mr bungle, aphex twin, squarepusher, primus, ragga jungle, freespazz hardcore jungle, peter brotzman if his horn were drums, ken vandermark, red snapper, amon tobin, hardcore, death metal, punkjungle (pungle-junk), noise, experimental, modern hardcorepunk jungle jazz, a beam of sunshine ripping through your carcass but leaving you twitching with a smile. A sweat smeared punk basement party surrounded by spazzing-moshing 20 somethings. This is what happens when the drums and bass get together. forget about guitars, horns and vocals. that can be sampled
