Balam Acab “See Birds” EP
After starting out a bit mysterious, some more things are starting to be known about Balam Acab, the mastermind behind this new “See Birds” EP. First, he’s young, a 19 year old college student. Secondly, he makes his music entirely from samples he finds around the internet. Third, he’s on Tri-Angle, and often lumped in with the witch-house scene (though his music seems much more rooted in dubstep to me). This stuff is sloooow and deep, perfect for post-rave comedowns and large subwoofers. Already blowing up around the blogosphere, this five-song set is truly a treat, one to watch for sure. You can grab the 12″ for $12 at ForcedExposure.com or $13.28 at Amazon.com.

Horrible, horrible, horrible. Sound just like the 3 AM mash ups back in the early 90s when the DJ was high on X and full of Jack.
And seriously “found samples on the internet”. Wow, that really is original and another example of some goof ball using the pre loaded software on this Mac computer and the classic “I always wanted to make a record” trend. Every labels fucking nightmare. Shit sandwiches loading our POBoxes of this crap.
[...] second vinyl release from the venerable Tri-Angle label looks just as good as the first. oOoOO have been one of the more exciting acts to come out of the whole “witch house” [...]
