IBN015- Remixing The Bloodwhore

IBN has released a series of remixes of Decanting The Bloodwhore’s  Enveloped In The Dreaded Anguish Of Ancients, and it is totally amazing. Really inventive and unexpected reworkingss of the tracks. None of the add-a-backbeat-for-the-club type remixes. Anyone who has seen me play out in the last few months has heard me drop snippets of of my remix, and knows that it’s designed to kill. Anyway, grab this release, because it’s equal parts necro grymness and hot fire.

Xrin Arms/Speak Onion- Snow Braid available now!

So here it is. The much-delayed, repeatedly-changed, widely-anticipated(?) split release from Xrin Arms and myself. I’m glad we waited, becasue it really became something pretty amazing. If you think you know Xrin Arms, think again and download this record, because he flips the script here. The tracks are so completely blown out and weird. He’s tapped into some psychadelic vibes that are really pretty exciting. His half of the release really makes you feel high on drugs.

And then my track comes in like a terrible hangover. Deep Cover is a track I’ve actually been working on for a long time, and it took me a while to get it right. I think I’ve even been playing versions of it live since June of 09. But I finally recorded something that captures the wildness of the live versions, and here it is.

Lastly, I’m really glad I got to do a split with Xrin Arms. We’ve played a ton of shows together and toured together and he’s really always helped get the word out about Speak Onion and shown me the ropes a bit, and we’ve become like brothers over the couple of years that we’ve known each other. The man DJ’d my wedding, you dig? So finally we get down together on record, and it’s a thing of beauty.

Trigger Pusher released on I.B.N. today!

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

The time is here. Trigger Pusher is now available for you to download from Immigrant Breast Nest. This record grew out of the live performance style I developed throughout 2009 by playing all the shows I could. These 2 tracks are very long and, like my live sets, full of drastic shifts and changes, beats and loops working their way in and out of noise, and just non-stop intensity right from me to you. I’m as proud of this music as anything I’ve ever made, and it represents exactly what Speak Onion is about. This form of electronic music is the purest way I can think of to communicate what I think is good and exciting. There’s no needless DSP wankery, no long DJ-friendly intros and outros, no ironic samples, no  pretentious art-house rambling, no bullshit. Just as much awesome sound as I could come up with and shove into 2 tracks. I hope you like it. I can’t wait to drop these beats in my upcoming live sets.

Trigger Pusher is, as everything else I do, available as a free download. Click the cover to get it. The label’s promo text is after the cover.

Just in time to ruin New Year’s Eve parties from coast to coast, Speak Onion’s latest release, “Trigger Pusher,” aims to capture the style of his live sets, overflowing with energy and unpredictability.  These two very-long-form tracks roller-coaster into and out of of chaos; stomping, clawing and weirding out, unfurling into your ears and brain.  While it may have the soul of a fire-breathing basement party, “Trigger Pusher” has more than enough acrobatic beats, king-sized basslines, and warped hooks to make it a potential headphone favorite.  And it’s all done with Speak Onion’s patented intensity.  Warn your ear drums and go for it.
