It’s not for the cock, It’s for the “Grinding Electronic Beats”

Posted in Artists, John at 12:28 pm by John

As the title suggests, my first post is about the Brighton based music duo South Central.
All the information I have been able to derive about them is straight off their myspace as they don’t seem to have a website yet. Currently touring with the Sunshine Underground, (Nottingham Uni, 4th May, anyone want to go?) and having previously opened for Klaxons (who entitled them “Cunts”, a massive compliment?) they seem to be doing quite well for themselves in spite of this.

I first encountered South Central when they remixed one of my favourite artists, Metronomy. If i was gayer, or interested in making deep analysis of the songs i’ll post i’d probably write something along the lines of; “Their remixes poach the very best parts of the original song, mix them up and play them back in a wall of grinding electronic beats that grows from a very basic introduction to an extreme plethora of rasping synth.”

As i’m not, i’ll post my favourite three remixes because they’re absolutely insane and also one of their original songs, but of course, all their other songs and a few remixes can be heard at their myspace HERE.

METRONOMY - TRICK OR TREATZ (SOUTH CENTRAL REMIX) (Removed)
THE MACCABEES - X-RAY (SOUTH CENTRAL REMIX) (Removed)
THE SUNSHINE UNDERGROUND - PUT YOU IN YOUR PLACE (SOUTH CENTRAL REMIX) (Removed)

SOUTH CENTRAL - NOTHING CAN GO WRONG (Removed)

The video I have posted below this post is also WELL worth checking out, it’s mental.

South Central - Castles Of Heroes

Peace Out.
