so is witch trap sea punk?
none of it is actually anything particular.
most of the #tags are done as jokes and #trolls.
someone in my hometown booked the #seapunk kids when they were at their peak of fake stardom and they were horrible. it was mostly really shittty sounding progression era bukem jungle but i dont think they new anything about it and just happened to be making something similar (and thought they were onto something new, which is the best part.) but idk i didn't talk to them because they seemed like the "art school dropout" kids that are great at making big claims but their products are devoid of actual talent.

i like the fatima album on hyperdub though it more or less just sounded like an interesting extension of old grime (or sinogrime), dressed up in unnecessary art school theory.

It hasn't been released yet, but there are promos going around.

the "warn-u" ep under that name is different from her FA-Q stuff, mostly just her voice manipulated in an "arabic atmospherica" stylee (http://www.theguardian.com/music/2011/aug/02/new-band-ayshay)

Is everybody a music journalist on this forum or something?
Edit: nevermind, see that it has already leaked since a month or so.

That Ayshay mix is one of my favorite Fact mixes I think.

I definitely think Fatima has a little more going on than most of the others in this thread's loose collective. But then i really liked Desert Strike. Not sure about her music as art projects tbh, they are interesting though.

maybe she's covering her face because she's not actually singing live and it's all on tape.
it's related but not really.
more of a moodier, more emo and art school version of thug trance.
Is this the thread to talk about kawaii-influenced stuff? Not something I know much about admittedly, but I've seen references to kawaii and Japan cropping up for a little while and now I discover that possibly "2014 is going to be a year of cuteness in the online underground" - http://www.electronicbeats.net/en/features/columns/pattern-recognition/vol-10-pon-cuter-love/
I wonder how much of this is rooted in 90s nostalgia? Obviously kawaii is an enduring thing and its presence is still very much felt, but a lot of the references seem to be rooted in that decade (just look at the profile picture here), and it was probably then that Japan exerted a greater influence on Western pop culture. The people making this stuff are, I'm guessing, the right age to have grown up with that.

Unfortunate that that article doesn't seem to have gone beyond the image of Kyary into the indefatigable denseness of her music - which is the point. Her image belies a musical brilliance and complexity, which isn't the same as hardcore infantilism.
