Machine Girl - U-Void Synthesizer

While Machine Girl's musical extremity remains admirable, the songwriting and mixing on U-Void Synthesizer fall flat.

Machine Girl - WLFGRL

I don't know who Machine Girl is, and I think that's the case for most people since this s/he is a relative unknown in electronic music right now. I can't say the new album I'm linking you to right now is going to change that--I mean, there isn't much in the way of a chart-topping single here--but for those patient enough to listen deeply into a well-assembled set of tracks, WLFGRL has a lot going for it.

Nearly every song on this thing is a jittery, challenging display of bombastic rhythms and off-kilter grooves. I haven't heard beats this nutty since that crazy Japanese footwork comp I mentioned a while back.

Machine Girl really pulls from a wide array of genres, including juke, footwork, house, trap, future garage, wonky, and jungle. They're all fed through a somewhat aggressive, busy, and distorted lens, which brings all of these cuts together pretty nicely. Enjoy! Oh, also, thanks to Dred Collective for helping to get this album out there!
