Sushi Brother – Let’s Cruise {mtk058}

Artist: Sushi Brother
Title: Let’s Cruise
Label: Monotonik
Catalog #: mtk058
Release Date: 2001/07/19

A return release from Sweden’s excellent Sushi Brother, another ex-demo-scener who’s really kicking things with an unique elektronik style, this one even more indescribable and intriguing than a chocolate potato (or a deep-fried Mars Bar).

Sushi Brother has his excellent ‘Shadowfighter’ former mtk.release out on 7″ about now, courtesy of Bop Records, btw – it also includes the Frank and Bill remix we also released, and with Bill (Yard) apparently featuring on the new Brothomstates EP on Warp, it couldn’t be a better point to release it.

But Meester Sushi is the _real_ star this time out, and “Let’s Cruise” is sorta extrasupamutated electronic scr0nk, with an almost P-Funk groove and stab chords over lots of sliiiiding bass and syncopated percussion effects. So, it’s a little bit like the Star Wars Cantina Band meeting Bootsy Collins at a LAN party, right? Riiiight.

Sushi Brother – Lionfish {mtk016}

Artist: Sushi Brother
Title: Lionfish
Label: Monotonik
Catalog #: mtk016
Release Date: 2000/03/16

From the weirdly melodic but skewed Swede, Sushi Brother, comes this piece of jaunty, twisty, jazzfunkbreak-ish music that’s almost completely uncategorisable..

If you start to mention Squarepusher meeting the fellow Swedes from the Dot label in an underpass somewhere, maybe.. well maybe that’s a laughable comparison 🙂 But it’s the only one we’ve got, so check out the feisty, squirmy lead and the spaz-out interludes and nod in disagreement..

Sushi Brother – Shadowfighter (Frank+Bill Remix) {mtk011}

Artist: Sushi Brother
Title: Shadowfighter (Frank+Bill Remix)
Label: Monotonik
Catalog #: mtk011
Release Date: 1999/11/26

Completely transmogrified from its original mono211 release, this amazing remix comes from swedish artist frank bolero, who’s been floating around negativspace for some time, along with his partner in crime bill yard.

so what was once ninja-esque breakz flips right around into the kind of pure tones and drop dead lovely melodies that are hopefully coming to characterise the monotonik label – sinewave arpeggios, shuffling drums, phasing bass, drifting chords.. makes you wanna die, no? or sigh. or smile. yes, let’s smile.

Label: Mono211
Catalog #: mtw010
Release Date: 1999/07/18

This piece of trickjazztical funknology comes at you outta Staten Island.. uhh.. Sweden, and monkeys around with your peridontal atrium in a wondrous, Squarepusher meets Ninja Tune style. Gotta love that that cut-up style courtesy of Sushi Brother, who’s aka Balrog of m211-affiliated furry animals, TPOLM.

See, Spot, see the scratching, see the oldskool samples, see the twisty synth riffs and brass hits, run, Spot, be very fearful indeed..
