Lazer Sword - 808 Mixtape


Oh boy, what a day! First NastyNasty, then Eprom and now super dope combo of soundmasters from Lazer Sword (Lando Kal vs. Low Limit) in 808 Mixtape for International Tapes!! My player barely survives the total sonic assault I am feeding into it since early morning, but my ears feel extremely gratified. 808 mix is a bit different offering than the two previous heavy-bass artists featured on my blog, and also slightly different than the usual Lazer Sword sound explorations. The name of the mix, a kind of tribute to the immortal 808 machine, is self-explanatory, but Lazer Sword playing Kudoru ?!? Well, that's surprising. Anyway, there is no other 'group' which can so successfully mix oldschool funky vibe (and tools) with extremely nu-school, ass-kicking, mind twisting, head-nodding electro/nica. LL and LK are well known for breaking genres and styles and mashing everything into one big synth-driven electro funky pulp, and this mix is the proof of their epic skills in this area. Lazer Sword for POPE!
