Having grown up alongside the manic beats of breakcore pioneers like Venetian Snares, Squarepusher and Kid606, we were thrilled to find a like-minded DJ mix from Amish Boy in our email last week. Kicking off with Kraftwerk and featuring everything from Aphex Twin to Autechre, it’s the perfect entry point to the Belgian producer formerly known as Sküge. Not to mention his mad-for-it debut EP, Laika Test Project, which dropped on Power Vacuum last month.
“This mix is somewhere between melancholic melodies, hard sounds and glitchy noises,” he explains. “It features electronica, acid, IDM, techno and breakcore—all the influences I’ve had since I was 14, right on through today’s discoveries. Whether you’re transported by the tremendous melodies or agitated by the drum-matic works of the best producers, you’ll find sounds you love and atmospheres you adore. Some tracks take time to imprint their feelings; others speak to your guts and dancefloor mind with their effective sounds. Enjoy!”
