Watch out, this shit is harsh. DJ Scotch Egg is ADAADAT's
answer to the gabber scene - this is abrasive, vicious hardcore techno
with a playful aesthetic and a videogame sensibility. Often the synths
lay down 8-bit melodies (most directly on "Tetris Wonderland," a
speedcore version of the Tetris theme song.) Scotch Egg seems
especially fond of toying with his listeners, pulling you in with
elements of rhythm and melody before smacking you in the face with a
bushel of noise. Regardless, the music is strangely accessible, formed
seemingly with a short attention span in mind (every track is under
three minutes, numerous under two). "Scotch Forest" and its raping of
"The Hall of the Mountain King" and aggressive "Scotch Heads" are
probably my favourite moments here, though it's hard to pick out
particular tracks in this record - it all seems to work as a whole. So
KFC Core is a bit of a novelty, yes - but if rough, viciously
fast beats and a dash of noise are your fancy, DJ Scotch Egg
makes no mistake.
