Lethal B(eats) (Rave R.I.P.)














MC Lethal who is from Stoke On Trent was resident MC at legendary Midlands rave clubs, Shelley's & Entropy in the early '90's. Arguably he was the first 'Rave' MC to move into recording & production with singles 'Ravedigger' & 'The Phantom' for Network Records. His break came when he was working as a part-time shop assistant in Kaos Records in Stoke-On-Trent. Daz Willot (DJ and shop manager) offered him £20 a night to drive him to his gigs. Daz then encouraged him to pick up the mic and MC for him.

Nightcores on Edm street





Shitecore, more like!

"Most nightcore artists traffic in distorted edits of tracks—mostly Top 40, J-pop, and K-pop—sped up to 160+ BPM, with vocals so cartoonishly high-pitched they could easily come from a starry-eyed anime idol"



"a healthy dose of parodic absurdity", zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

this one is at least overloaded and diabetic-coma-y - 



"a frenetic cacophony of jittering vocals and accelerating rhythms that spiral into shimmering, fragmented chaos"

but really, isn't it just Rustie  x PC Music = hearditbefore? 

with some glitchcore, and The Speedfreak, thrown in?



quite enjoyable in its way, but leaves you with a sinking feeling: will we never leave -  get past, go further than -  the Nineties?

adding to that sense of terminal entropy, ever decreasing (re)cycles.... c.f.  'wave' a couple years ago
