Machine Drum :: Half The Battle (Merck)

This is a follow-up EP to Machine Drum’s underground hit album Now You Know. The A side contains 3 new tracks from Machine Drum, bouncy headnod beats and cutup vocal stylings come together for more delicious idm-hiphop tracks. The B side contains remixes by 3 other well known Merck artists: namely Proem (n5MD, Coredump), Brothomstates (Warp), and Ilkae (Neo Ouija). Proem returns to the kungfu cutup of “Thanks Very Much”, Brothomstates puts on a ripping anthem that blew the crowd up at Sonar, Ilkae comes through with a nice mellow bumpiness to round things off. These tracks won’t be appearing on his next album so get them while they are hot.
