Noisebrigade

Formerly on the Musick and Shitcatapult roster and now passed to Tigerbass/Tiger Beat 6, Magnum 38 is the project of Berliner Oliver Greschke. His first release on Tigerbass is a digital download only six tracks E.P. titled A TRIBUTE TO GRACE JONES. What's the peculiarity of such title? Well, as much as I can understand from listening to the tunes, they have been composed using mostly Grace Jones samples ("Slave" obviously is coming from "Slave to the rhythm"). What amazed me is how great these cut ups sound. Oliver selected micro parts of the original songs and made out of them a pounding electro/techno mix. Sounding almost low-fi and here and there a bit experimental (like on the three parts of "Sequel" where the tracks are built like you're listening to broken records loops) A TRIBUTE TO GRACE JONES is a really good release that is perfect for a shot of energy!
