3818919/w – Nachos Supreme EP {mtk008}

Artist: 3818919/w
Title:
Nachos Supreme EP
Label:
Monotonik
Catalog #:
mtk008
Release Date:
1999/08/15


The first EP release online from Monotonik, and that quirky English idm-ster, 3818919/w, comes up trumps with some beautiful tracks influenced by everything from Bola through Bochum Welt to Plone.

The lead track, “Nachos Supreme”, is full of wonderfully twisty riffs and nimble drums, and “Ages” and “Cheshire” float into melodic ambience of the slightly surreal, fevered kind, whilst the final tune, “Shift- Break”, uses clunks and robot voices to bring the noise, 1982-style. Good show, old chap.

3818919/w also did the cover for this mp3 to reflect some of his favourite nights down the pub with a plan, a beer, and a plate of tortilla+tomato. Mm, cheesy.

Artist: 3818919/w

702
Label:

Catalog #:

Something distinctly different, this mp3 release is from the English artist 3818919/w, of which little can be revealed – other than the fact he works in computer games as a graphics artist and is also responsible for the rather cool mp3-cover to this release, which you can see above.

This track was done with a cacophony of cantankerous old analogue synths and drum machines and is distinctly influenced by a number of Warp and Rephlex artists. But we like to think the beguiling melodies and intriguing percussion bring a markedly different approach to the whole idm conundrum – if, indeed, it should be called idm. Listen to the fluttering synths and the layers upon layers and the little flourishes and enjoy..
