The introduction part
Hello. My name is Them Buzz, and I'm one whole of Ultrafoetus (except for when I play live, when I'm one half of Ultrafoetus & The Jon Goulding Band). I make splintered funknut, wonk filtered through hip-hop, electro, punk-funk, psychedelia and pop. You may choose to call it music to go slowly mental by. I doubt you will, though. Visit me at my website. And then perhaps read my blog. Somebody has to. Hello
Sludge from the press gutter
"Dense electro hip hop [that] gives respectful nods to Aesop Rock and Aphex Twin."
Metro
"Alluring cut & paste random noise shot through with funktastic groovery... like DJ Shadow shagging the Aphex Twin in a flotation tank."
trakMARX
"Woozed up techno, dressed up funk, dirt everywhere, a kind of urban take on the pop stuff that the mad Dutch woman with the record shop releases.... a human at the controls kind of feel and a warmth thats rare in this genre."
Unpeeled
"Funky and bizarre in equal measures... music for some Terminator-wrecked future where the last of mankind survives in pockets amongst the rubble. But in a good way."
