Computaria Sound System by Marcelinho Metebala

For fans of Los Thuthanaka, DJ Rashad, Machine Girl, the entire wonderful world of plunderphonics, and that kind of weird and unsettling feeling you get when you see the y2k aesthetic coming back, Computaria Sound System by Marcelinho Metebala brings all the digital grit of the experimental collage scene to a style which would work flawlessly in a dance club. Samples instantly recognizable and deeply obscure alike set these songs in motion, a momentum picked up by a racing drum kit and auxiliary synths which drive the energy through the roof. Informed from influences from around the world and every moment in history, the unifying commitment to a distinctly 2000s maximalism places this record at the experimental vanguard of elder gen z nostalgia, demanding that our reappraisal of that time include the widest possible palette of samples. By also bringing in sounds from before then and since then, the album contextualizes that moment as a blip when technology made us feel powerful, only to see us retreat into the shadow of our machines ever since.
