In the twelve - mostly murky - soundcollages fragmented melodies are merged with complex structures which culminate in obscure sampleorgies and leave delightful pictures in one’s head.
"Code Complex" is a passionately programmed, darkly evocative attack for the ears, a sonic strike but a well-balanced symbiosis of organic and synthetic sounds that create a mist of frenetic suspense. Sporadic cuts and scratches add to the sound not being too nerdy but injected in perfect doses.
Verbal support supply 2 of Austrias finest MC’s: "Manuva" and "MissVerständnis".
A Waxolutionists-Remix increases the spectrum of extraordinary beats. Mixed by Megga and Twang, mastered by Megga at SoundlaborSüd.
In the mid-nineties 15 year old twang started listening to HipHop music, two years later he decided to become an active part of the at this time rather small Austrian HipHop community and started out with djing.
Within the last few years Twang participated in several projects like "Rückgrat" or "Markante Handlungen". This crews released all their stuff on one of the leading HipHop-labels in Austria (tontraeger-records.com). About 10 years later, Twang expanded his musical horizon, released his passionately programmed and conducted solo-debut "Code Complex" and became - beside the HipHop-projects - a member of the electronic formation "Linkmen". However, there is still no end in sight …
Hi Vinyl Diggers, this is a future treasure. Finally six of "Code Complex" dopest tracks plus two tracks off the Linkmen album are released on this limited (100 pieces) and handnumbered Vinyl Edition! Rapfeatures by Manuva & Raptoar, beats & scratches by Twang plus the dope Waxos Remix make this Ep a Must Have. Get it before it's sold out or resold on ebay for 100 bucks ...
