My main man Sibot has recently released a free EP on Diplo's label Mad Decent. If you have never heard of Sibot before you are probably a nine year old girl being raised in a log cabin in Ventersdorp, or maybe you just arent familiar with one of the biggest names in South African electronica. Sibot is one of my personal favourite producers of electronic music, and his genres range from bass heavy glitch hop to crunchy dubstep to futuristic hip hop beats, his styles are truly unique.
His long spanning career has seen him produce music for a number of other prolific South African artists, most notably Die Antwoord (back when they were called Max Normal) and Spoek Mathambo. Needless to say, Sibot is a badass gangster nommer een with eyeballs all over his face and has a live show which will kick your ass and take your lunch money.
The Magnet Jam EP is a free release containing 2 tracks from his previous Throw Away EP and one brand new one. The title track is one nasty piece of work with booming bass drops and an electronic choir of synth-powered robots preparing for battle on the dancefloor, the perfect stage for a futuristic throw-down. The second track No Question is straight-up thug with tabasco sauce in the petrol tank. The glitchy breakbeats, wobbly synths and turntable scratching make a very tasty combination, look out for the awesome vocal sample at the end too. The final track Tronarist is a step in a different direction and has more of a funky edge to it, with some 80's style synths, vocoder effects and a bouncy rolling bassline that is the perfect soundtrack for rollerblading around Saturn's ring on a Saturday night with the homies.
