After thinking about it, I realized the title of this blog is kind of lame. I'm keeping it, cuz I already made an email based around it and the whole aesthetic will be off. Shit, I have to stop using the word aesthetic if I want to keep an audience.
Iglooghost has a really fucking unique aesthetic. At just 19, he's not only the youngest (by far) on Flying Lotus' Brainfeeder label, he's one of the most forward-thinking. He takes a maximalist approach to producing beats, throwing every genre he can think of into his tracks; from pop, to breakcore, to R&B, to hip-hop and rap. He's been putting out music on labels like Activia Benz and Fly High Society since he was around 15. He's unabashedly blasphemous when it comes to most aspects of traditional electronic music, creating something unmistakably modern and exciting.
"Modern" might be a good word to describe this music, because nothing else really sounds like it. Then again, if one of your releases is based around the story of a gelatin worm bounding through universes (with each song acting as a portal into a universe), you might not sound much like anyone else. Iglooghost is tongue in cheek, but the passion here really shines through.With accompanying art made by the man himself, listening to Iglooghost is really like discovering an insanely chaotic, fully realized world.
From the more easy-to-digest beat tape "Treetunnels" to the grime-based track "Ell", I tried to make a greatest hits so far type deal here. If you're curious about Iglooghost and the rise of alternative electronic dance music, go support him! And others like him! Mr. Yote! Kai Whiston! Do it!
Absolutely nuts and fun as hell dance/electronic music. Link below.
