The introduction part
Hello. My name is Them Buzz, and I'm one whole of Ultrafoetus (except for when I play live, when I'm one half of Ultrafoetus & The Jon Goulding Band). I make splintered funknut, wonk filtered through hip-hop, electro, punk-funk, psychedelia and pop. You may choose to call it music to go slowly mental by. I doubt you will, though. Visit me at my website or at Valentine Records. Hello
Sludge from the press gutter
"Dense electro hip hop [that] gives respectful nods to Aesop Rock and Aphex Twin."
Metro
"Alluring cut & paste random noise shot through with funktastic groovery... like DJ Shadow shagging the Aphex Twin in a flotation tank."
trakMARX
"Woozed up techno, dressed up funk, dirt everywhere, a kind of urban take on the pop stuff that the mad Dutch woman with the record shop releases.... a human at the controls kind of feel and a warmth thats rare in this genre."
Unpeeled
"Funky and bizarre in equal measures... music for some Terminator-wrecked future where the last of mankind survives in pockets amongst the rubble. But in a good way."
Beatmag
Tomorrow night sees ex-Deerhoof-er Chris Cohen perform in Manchester with new band Cryptacize, playing tracks from their recent, goodly album Dig That Treasure (released on Sufjan's Asthmatic Kitty label) and split 7" with Why? Plus a really strong line-up featuring Leeds' perennially dope Cowtown, and reduced entry to those who quote "Tommy Docherty" on the door.
