Clubs for Boardgames - IXTLI / Ollin (Tundra Dubs - 2011)



The strange thing with bandcamp pages, is that you allready have a digital copy of the music you've bought before the fysical medium is thrown into your real-life inbox.You can also stream the entire album if you are not obsessed with those nice little boxes with an 80's medium in them.

This tape is one that fits perfectly in the Witch House/Drag/Ghost Drone category. Nice slowed down samples, mixed with hip-hop beats and heavy layered baselines dragging along the tracks. The cover art uses the symbols mostly found within these genres.

'IXTLI' is mostly based around an 'Oh tell me why'-sample dragged town in tempo and layed within the baseline and the beats.

'Ollin' hangs more on the baselines than the former track. Just a sparse voice sample occasionaly passes by. The baseline itself does uses an 'Ooooooooh' synthesizer pad as the basis.

Overall, this is a nice tape and, if you prefer the digital format, playing it on repeat at least puts you in a trance for half an hour.
