Muff-ucker
On the latest release by Mic Mell (aka Michael David Mell), following last years Results, Muff-Ucker dives full-throttle into a sea of organized distortion, corrupted elegance and electronic hip-hop. Time shifts, melodies collide, beats collate, and a peculiar funk is somehow wrapped around each rhythm. Remixes by Machine Drum, R_Garcia, Colour with Sound, Divinci, Cap’n Shiddy and La Mejor Seleccion transmit their sounds on Muff-Ucker creating what could easily be called a remix album composed of abstract drum’n bass, digital trickery, slippery techno and melody driven electro-fusion. There’s a permeating, world sound that filters its way deep into the listeners ear while instrumental, organic funk slithers between the 12 cuts on this CDr release. Not forgetting the rather colorful yet peculiar artwork on Muff-Ucker, Mic Mell creates a lively feel that runs parallel to its processed programming and groovy tweaks, twitches and tenacity. You can’t really go wrong with a $5 price-tag on this full-length.
