Welcome to the Future from Terminal West at King Plow on Vimeo.

 

Check out footage of Mochipet, Kraddy and Polish Ambassador from their performance at The Full Moon Mashup at King Plow Arts Center in Atlanta, GA in this video directed by Kyle Dettman. The soundtrack to the video is Mochipet’s “Dionysus’ Synthony” from recently released Chicxulub on 1320 Records.

The video is a part of a promo for Terminal West at King Plow.

“Opening in 2012, a 7,000 square feet music and special events venue in historic west midtown of Atlanta at the King Plow Arts Center. An extensive renovation to a 100 year old iron and steel foundry originally used to manufacture plows as a part of the King Plow Company. Featuring high end lighting and sound, leading-edge air conditioning units, and an outdoor roof deck overlooking the historic train tracks of West Atlanta. The home of friendly staff and unforgettable nights of music, this is Terminal West.”

Sub-Radar Album Radar: Mochipet – Chicxulub

August 25, 2011 by Leave a Comment

Fresh off of 1320 Records (Eliot Lipp, Alex B, Emancipator and other amazing artists that will eventually have a feature here) comes Mochipet’s latest glitch-funk audio fest, groovy, messy and cheeky…Mochipet is one of the best-known Taiwanese producers out there, and has collabs to the moon and back with everyone from hip hop MC’s to techno producers, but this album seems to be a return to his avant-garde electronic hip hop roots. Only 8 tracks, but definitely 8 tracks worthy of being on 1320 Records.

Groovemine Review: Mochipet-Chicxulub

August 22, 2011 by Leave a Comment

I like albums with audacious concepts. Often, though, the music itself is boring, the concept simply serving as a crutch. When I first heard the newest offering by Mochipet (Taiwan-born David Wang), I had no idea that it was a concept album — and I liked it. My point being that good concept albums don’t ever live in the shadow of their concepts: the music is simply enriched by an understanding of the artist’s singular intentions. And in this case, they’re quite singular: Chicxulub, as the press release states, “is the soundtrack for an animated novel in which the Dinosaurs make their way through the impact of the comet believed to have destroyed them.”

Chronology is kind of a funny thing. If I had read that ridiculous description before my maiden voyage with the album, the music would definitely have disappointed me. The bombastic concept would have completely drowned out the music, I’m sure. But because I read it after listening to the album, everything instead clicked into place, and all of the elements of the music that I liked made more sense, giving the album a level of narrative depth of which I was previously unaware, appreciative as I was of the record’s epic synth textures. Suddenly the album’s scope, its plodding glitch-hop and huge synths, became panoramic.

Mochipet’s latest release on 1320 Records ‘Chicxulub’, is the soundtrack for an animated novel in which the Dinosaurs make their way through the impact of the comet believed to have destroyed them. The album starts off with a highly compressed glitch-hop bass number ‘Dinosaur Anthems’ signaling the dark that is arriving along to where ‘Yoshi’s Dinosaur Egg Hunt’ guides you through Fraggle Rawk-style landscapes in search of the young that are left to live on. The Dinosaurs eventually leave the planet, taking off in their ‘Pterodactyl Spaceship’ to new undiscovered lands. But they do not make it out easily; there are a number of alien life forms that have invaded in ‘The Battle of Dinotropolis’ (Featuring Ben Samples). With everything destroyed all that is left are ‘Fossils’ and our prehistoric creatures are left to find ‘A Home Away From Home.’ So ‘Ghost Ride The Ark’ to Outer Space we go! Whether our Dino friends make it to their new homes is unsure as ‘I Really Don’t Think We Are Ok ACE.’ The Saga is To Be Continued…

August 11, 2011 by Leave a Comment

So we have an exclusive for you today from the ever exciting Mochipet!

(Seriously, check out the roster on 1320 if you don’t already know, Eliot Lipp, Prefuse 73, Great Mundane, Alex B, Emancipator, shit is popping!)

The new album, titled Chicxulub, is the soundtrack to an animated novel in which the Dinosaurs make their way through the impact of the comet believed to have destroyed them. Pretty crazy huh? We’ll I got a chance to listen through whilst at work this afternoon and trust me, there are some real heaters on this! I guess I’d like to put some of the tracks into a realm somewhere between Pretty Lights, Emancipator and The Glitch Mob? But it also has a very unique twist of it’s own, I just feel if you’re into those guys this may be right up your street.

XLR8R -Mochipet “Yoshi’s Dinosaur Egg Hunt”

August 8, 2011 by Leave a Comment

The purple-dinosaur-suit-wearing producer known as Mochipet is a week away from releasing his latest LP, Chicxulub (artwork above), for the 1320 label. Here, we have the record’s first single, an energetic slice of epic beat work that matches videogame-style arpeggiators (check the title) along with an over-powering breakbeat and a healthy dose of low-end rumble. Considering “Yoshi’s Dinosaur Egg Hunt” is only the second track of the album, which is said to serve as “the soundtrack for an animated novel in which the dinosaurs make their way through the impact of the comet believed to have destroyed them,” it’s safe to say that Chicxulub is going to be one propulsive collection of boom-bappery when it drops August 16.
