BEAT THANG!!! FROM DA BEAT KANGZ

for some reason I had a very detailed dream about this new piece of hardware. THE BEAT THANG from a company known as the BEAT KANGZ, is a hilariously designed, named and marketed sampler/beat production studio. Check it


in my dream my friend Cito was such a prolific BEAT KANG that the company hooked him up with an infinite number of BEAT THANGZ. I really wanted to be a BEAT KANG and have my own BEAT THANG, but Cito wouldnt hook it up. Oh well I guess Im just not up to BEAT THANG snuff.

Donk

Description from VBS:

Since the advent of acid house in the late 80s, British techno music has been in a long, baffling search for some sort of universal lowest common denominator. Breakbeat, digital hardcore, and gabber all made strong efforts in the race for the bottom, but none of them holds a candle to Donk.

Combining the 150bpm madness of happy hardcore with indecipherable North English rap and then overlaying the whole mess with a single, infuriating “donk” sound, Donk may well be the apotheosis of all ridiculous dance music to date. It is also the only local thing going for an entire population of working-class kids with dwindling outside prospects.

We meet up with Black Out Crew, commonly referred to as the Beatles of the Donk scene. Their video “Put a Donk On It!” has almost 4 million views on YouTube. So come along for ecstasy fueled all nighters into the bizarre scene that is Donk.

I guess there are guidos in England too.
