Sibot - Arc Eyes EP

sibot *gravy*’s avatar 

South African beastly beat making button pusher badass producer Sibot has recently released what might just be his best EP yet! Arc Eyes consists of 5 tracks each with Sibot's signature grimy and bouncy sounds and  distinctly South African inspired dirty bass beats, ranging from electronic funk to trap and shit that I don't even understand. For me personally I think this EP is a step up from his previous release Throwaway EP, which was much heavier (but still very nxa), this one has been injected with a dose of funk, similar to Tronarist, in the form of tracks like Arc Eyes. There's some great vocal collaborations on two tracks: one with his live performance partner in next level visual effects Toyota, in a track that uses a sample from the one and only JZ! And I aint talking about Beyonce's boyfriend, I'm talking Jacob muthafuckin Zuma!
B-b-b-b-billion rand! What a track, much party! There is also a collaboration with local future mfana Okmalumkoolkat, 'Nice Shandees', I don't actually know what is shandees but the track have got a real catchy groove wena! The opening track City of Gold has got a real presence to it, and a driving bassline that just makes you wanna bounce like some jogger's boobs. I would recommend downloading this EP to anyone who likes big phat electronic bass music and has an interweb modem connection (which can be done for free by the way! Yuss what a boytije! Thanks Sibot!).

Sibot - Magnet Jam EP


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.
