NEWS: Eddie Example Delivers Critical Response
The Mutant Dance founder rolls out a spicy debut album…
There is no doubt that we are blessed with an abundance of local talent. You can't swing a cat without missing a DJ only two lucky moments away from being a globe-trotting star. If his name doesn't allude to it already, Eddie Example is the perfect example of a local fending off pesky cats being swung all around him. The dude can play, and like The Big Lebowski, the Dude abides by a brand of electronic music that can fill a dance floor in nanoseconds. A resident of Geelong and Revolver Fridays, he is the man behind Mutant Dance, and co-founder of the COVID-hatched label Supermercado Records. Now you can also add the owner of a brand new album to that list. (ED: And all I am is the owner of a lonely heart 😥)
Critical Response is the name of the debut seven-track LP - and it's bloody killer. With track titles like 'Dystopian Reality' and 'Technological Breakdown', you would be correct to think it features sci-fi-flavoured electro stompers. Yet, for all its brooding concepts, the music somehow straddles that diaphanous line between serious and fun. The beats exude icy cold staunchness, yet you feel like putting on sneakers to breakdance on a piece of cardboard. The first single' Starlink Revolution,' is a prime example; it's filled with untethered electrical fx that feel stark, yet there is a giddy aspect to those thick bass bubbles melting all over your speakers that is just kinda… well… fun. Complementing the joy is the single's video, a lovely piece of digital media so interesting to look at you can throw away your mindfulness colouring book.
If all of this sounds Fucking A to you, then fucking a, go check out the official Supermercado label launch in December (check event link in flyer below). Going down at New Guernica's schmick new location in Fitzroy, it will be a delicious day rave featuring the label mainstays DBLPARK (live) and Booshank alongside local mainstay DJ Kiti. BYO your own swinging cats.
