Electrofunk Review

Another day, another new artist. Today's pick (not that there will only be one per day, but it's a work week and I'ma slave) is inconnector. Another track that's lived and survived on my playlist for the last few months is "eRRor", a fun little electro-breakbeat ditty. Inconnector's sound is similar in ways to Crystal Method, only the compositions in my opinion are tighter. When I say that I don't mean they're locked to a particular musical form or song structure, rather I mean that the tracks "gel" -- everything sounds like it's put there for a purpose and serves that purpose well. That's what I consider "composed", in contrast to having random stuff playing because that's how music in a particular genre is supposed to sound. This malady can plague any type of music, but with the proliferation of loop libraries it's much easier to put together crap. Loops aren't a bad thing, we wouldn't have hip-hop with out 'em and the right loops together can be magic. But that doesn't mean that just because you can use a mouse and string together some loops from "Mr. Electric's Power House 1000" collection of "everything you need to make slammin' House and Trance tracks!" in Acid doesn't mean you're an artist. Anyway, this is supposed to be about inconnector and not all the other crap, there's plenty of it out there and sooner or later if you listen to enough music on free sites you'll come to loathe it as much as I do. O.k., so check out inconnector and enjoy. Electrofunk says check it out.
