284 - Kid606





A game changer for electronic music in the late 90s.  In the early days of online file trading, I came across Don't Sweat the Technics and GQ on the EQ, and was mesmerized.  I never cared for standard dance music, and Kid606 took a punk rock attitude and destroyed any 4 on the floor beats with a painful attack of the squelchy noise from a hard drive crashing in real time.  Thanks to Brainwashed.com for helping me learn much more about this artist in those formative years.

  1. Thanks, Mooz, a great mix and a reminder that I'm less familiar with Kid 606's music than I thought. That remix of Solex was new to me and very good indeed.
