Pineal wonkgasms melting into a vibrating bucket of psychedelic jism
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."
Beatmag
Lots more media and general stuff will be added to the team section.
There will be many more locations added to the weather forecasts section, let us know if you want your area added and we will quite happily do it for you.
