this one comes from a recently released mixtape by the good folks of teknomadix records and they wanted to keep it to the truest form of the word. an actual cassette and the a-side was produced by DØS.pütin and the b-side was produced by rikard bizzi aka skizz, sir sampalot, funkenteller, one half of stockholmssyndromet and formerly of up hygh. needless to say, i am a fan of bizzi and his mastery of beats and bass but also his rapping, lyrical abilities and also his smoky seductive singing voice.
i head the mixtape when skizz favourited the upload by teknomadix a few weeks ago and i had to have it when it was released. i enquired teknomadix on twitter if it was going to able to purchase digitally because i don't have a tapedeck but i still want to support skizz as i liked it. yeah, sure enough and i bought it yesterday and bizzi's beats and bass was blasted all day yesterday.
one of the best tracks of the whole set was this one "crack rock man", but to be really honest i could write about a number of tracks as they are all brilliant. 16:30 into the tape comes a really familiar melody and anyone who's played megaman 3 knows it as the whistle melody that plays when proto man / break man shows up. reason the the track is called crack rock man is clever wordplay as megaman was originally called rock man in the japanese release and rock or rocks is slang for crack cocaine.
bizzi replays it perfectly and sets it to his drum machines and synths and forms an awesome piece of music. the bottom end bangs hard as usual with bizzis productions and the detail in the melodic elements is perfect with more of the original song being played. i had this segment or song play on repeat for a long time when i bought the file.
more brilliance from the tape also include "bully", "phonkk", "oil slick", "c-shells by the c-shure" and his remix of keak da sneak's "cop heavy".
