Enjoy this sample track from the first side of Mark Fell’s Manitutshu, which you can pick up on double vinyl at Editions Mego. It’s interesting to hear Fell’s beats abstracted in this way, almost as if he’s manually resetting pre-programmed casio drums to create a chopped up, disorienting effect. Appropriately enough, as previously reported, the Manitutshu project came to fruition after Fell was hired to produce pre-set sounds for a new Native Instruments software synth. They note that none of the pre-sets were used in the final product.
