Today, I'm totally awestruck by Chicago Footwork and Juke. Give this a listen.
I love the fact that they've taken something incredibly simple and dumb (basically riddiculously short vocal snippets looped ad nauseum) and pushed it extreme enough to come up with a weird kind of sublime continuum of sound.
Ends up like weird cross of Steve Reich's tape phase experiments, Paul Hardcastle's 19 and hipnogogs like Oneohtrix Point Never or Emeralds.
Extra-ordinary once you overcome your initial revulsion at the stuttery vocals.
