Pharoahe monch simon says techno remix9/11/2023 ![]() “Sole Sucker” shows a flash of dubstep’s ubiquity with its lumbering beat and sawtooth lead, while “Slip ‘n Slide” is the probably the most suiting track to ever be called twee-as-fuck. It’s chorus “Daddy has a secret / He wears lingerie” is a guaranteed conversation starter for your next family outing. “Long Johns” is straight up, raunchy electro house that wouldn’t be out of place on a Deadmau5 mix. It’s pert near pristine.Īside from the Pharoahe Monch parody, “Paranormal Energy” contains some crisp contemporary drum & bass transitioned by tasteful glitch. This is, undoubtedly, the best produced Lord of Acid album ever made. Praga Khan has stepped up his game in the beats department. Yet, there are clear and admirable attempts to update their sound. Most obviously referencing the old, the cover and title of Deep Chills are a throwback to Big Brother & The Holding Company’s classic 1968 album Cheap Thrills. ![]() With Zak Bagans on vocals, “Paranormal Energy” starts off as a working of “Simon Says” by Pharoahe Monch, but elevates to a punchy breakbeat track with traces of glitch. ![]() “The Love Bus” is the kind of electro drum & bass that John B used to make, with a little surf rock flare on the guitar. Featuring porn star Alana Evans on vocals, “Pop That Tooshie” is fairly speed garage like, with a warping bassline, Tone Lōc “Funky Cold Medina” guitar punch, and 808 percussion. “Drowning In Ecstasy” also has a stripped down version of the 303 line from Josh Wink’s classic “Higher State Of Consciousness (Original Tweekin’ Acid Funk Mix)” when it starts to go off at the end of the classic aceeed rager. The stadium rock guitar sound in “Sole Sucker” and “Drowning In Ecstasy” is the same all over tracks like “Young Boys” and “The Crablouse” from VooDoo-U. They can’t get too far away from what they’re known for, which is heavy, industrial tinged electronic music in a variety of styles, matched by a lyrical obsession with the tried and true themes of sex and drugs.Īs such, though Deep Chills is a new release, much of it already sounds a little dated, if not recycled. ![]() True to form, the palette used for Deep Chills, their first album since 2001’s Farstucker, would not surprise anyone who was blown away in 1991 by “I Sit On Acid” or scared orgasmic in 1994 by their gold record selling VooDoo-U. Belgian producer Praga Khan and his menagerie of well-lubricated sex maniacs have been at this electro-industrial thing for over 20 years. ![]()
