It got scratches, clapping, fucked up sampleediting, unusual rythm structures and more. Markus continues the recipt from his last ep "a couple of songs", released last year at miasmah." Miasmah. "On this brand new split Tuulanauhat LP, Earkus and Ponytail, members of Dubbing Mixers and Gym in the box, present their own stuff. 'Bank' is a suite of short lo-fi tracks, downtempo jazzy hip-hop collages made out from tapes and a mixer specially created by Tn Labs. These tracks, previously released by the netlabel Miasmah,are for the first time available on vinyl. On the other side, with 'Cold Knobs', Ponytail seems to look (like Earkus) in Odd Nosdam's beautifull "Plan 9, Meat Your Hypnotis" direction (an album originaly recorded on tapes), for a more steady and clear result than 'Bank', ornamented with couple of nu folk catchy tunes. Fans of Anticon, Mush, and Merck's electro hip-hop releases should definitely investigate." Chica-chic. "A self-made mixer, two tape players and a good pile of samples..."
