Dark Satellites played with this dude, Reptoid, Friday night.
Opinions will vary on the music but if you can get through four minutes, I think you’ll respect what he’s doing creatively, physically, and technically. I’ve never seen or heard anyone doing anything quite like it, and the man/machine collaboration/conflict is pretty compelling.
The key to it all is how the drums trigger the synths. It’s live and not on a grid, which is what gives it that combination of super-tight (drums and synths hitting at the same time) and human feel (no grid). There’s almost a jazz or tribal drumming undercurrent to the harsh industrial noise. (Saying this out loud seems pretty weak but I want to give those of you who won’t like this something to listen for to understand what’s happening here and why it’s cool.)
