Title:	Kid606 The Action Packed Mentallist Brings You The Fucking Jams
Label:	VIOLENT TURD (NEW ZEALAND)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	TURD 002CD

"Not repeating himself while managing to tread on all previous musical terrain kid606 has treaded in his relatively short musical career, New Zealand's Violent Turd label is proud to present this strictly limited edition Kid606 album unreleasable by any other record label. Even tigerbeat6 wasn't able or willing to release this lazy IDM equivalent to 2 Live Crew's legendary Banned in the USA: a unmistakable Hyped up, overclimactic, plunderphonic gabber rave hiphop opera that lasciviously lifts voices from the familiar, lingers luxuriously to tease out their deeper meanings over ambient washes of sound,big booty beats, soulful r&b technoidmhouse, presents the shrill and stifled scream of voiceless punk angst alongside whiplash raga jungle snarerush rinseouts, and deposits all these musings on disc to be savored by the few consumers worldwide who will actually be able to obtain this album! This release reflects kid606's growing interest in the human voice as an instrument along with the need to live dangerously and not work with other musicians. His desire, long repressed since teenage metalhead induced social trauma, to work with vocalists and make their waxing wanings the jewels in his velvet settings gets full reign as he brings you the fucking jams. Spell it however you want?SPZXWYU or QVBLJIC, PROLIX or BOLLOCKS or FLUMMOX?all these words will get you points in Scrabble! But after listening to the post-pop lollygagging of these lemon-flavored lollies, your only conclusion will be that kid606 is MENTALL with a double L!"

Title:	Parallel Universe Vol. 1
Label:	VIOLENT TURD (NEW ZEALAND)
Format:	CD
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	TURD 004CD

"From the mind and decks of the mysterious DJ Broken Window -- an unnamed longtime American IDM legend known for his plunderphonics who also releases electro on labels from the UK, Europe and the USA --come pop song mash-ups that go far down the path forged by Evolution Control Committee and the early '8Øs dancefloor-pop-oriented Slingshot 12-inches. These are not lo-fi, chopped up, lobotomized collages of MP3s, but incredibly well researched, selectively re-layered entire songs -- vocals and instrumentals-- from tracks pulled from the rare and clean vinyl in Broken Window's ridiculous and massive record collection. Unbelievably smooth tunings and compositional alignments are in effect as Broken Window finds entire instrumentals and a cappella songs that fit together. In other words, every verse and chorus line up because the songs have exactly the same structure -- to freaky and hilarious effect, not to mention seeming like uncannily legit collaborations by artists who are generations, genres, and continents apart. For example: R&B vox over late '6Øs moog classics; Miami rap over obscure Canadian synth-pop; '6Øs garage-psych over '9Øs Detroit electro; Tahitian islanders sing and chant with techno lock grooves; children sing over commercial hip hop club tunes; IDM meets prog-rockers-gone-pop."

Title:	Parallel Universe Vol. 2
Label:	VIOLENT TURD (NEW ZEALAND)
Format:	CD
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	TURD 005CD

"The Swiss army knife of pop-record-matching delivers a second CD full of hilarious whole-song mash-ups. The mysterious DJ -- an unnamed international IDM and electro producer -- continues amazing research on pairs of vocal and instrumental tunes that, once overlain, create a kind of Top 20 pop hits from a parallel universe. In addition, the CD contains printed instructions for every track used and exactly how to mix them together. Selection and conceptual integrity is why these mashups stand out; each is the combination of an instrumental and a capella vocals that happen to be parallel arrangements across through their entire durations, but are usually a few decades and genres apart, as well: doo-wop vocal harmonies backed by micro-house; rap over '70s prog-rock anthems; R&B backed by classic industrial dance music; club divas backed by a '60s samba trio; even contemporary jabs at the Hooked On Classics series. They resemble pop tunes, except that all the 'wrong' vocals are fronting all the 'wrong' bands. Unlikely combinations work out perfectly due in no small part to Broken Window's encyclopedic knowledge of pop and avant-garde music. Because Parallel Universe relies on the elegant layering of whole, unedited tracks, they are free of the scars of brutal computer-based reconstructive surgery that make glitchy, MP3-based mash-ups unpalatable to many music fans. In fact, some work so well, you might suspect that they were legitimate, next-wave productions by the original artists."

Artist:	SOUNDMURDERER
Title:	Wired For Sound
Label:	VIOLENT TURD (NEW ZEALAND)
Format:	CD
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	TURD 006CD

"The aptly named SoundMurderer produces and runs the ragga-jungle label Rewind Records based in Detroit, Michigan with co-owner/producer SK-1. His soulful dancehall ragga jungle productions combine the modern illness and intricate programming of Squarepusher and Plug with the classic sounds of Congo Natty and the early ragga jungle soundsystem culture. We're talking full-on bass-rinse snare-rush; tight, Cutty Ranks; and mixing like you're not likely to hear anywhere else. Mixed between 1999 and 2002, and boasting a jaw-dropping 60 tracks in under 70 minutes."

Artist:	FANNY
Title:	Welcome To the Machines
Label:	VIOLENT TURD (NEW ZEALAND)
Format:	12"
Price:	$7.50
Catalog #:	TURD 007EP

"Welcome to the Machines is a journey into the oiliest cogs and deviously detailed wheels of sick society's most rhythmic and unrelenting vibrators. The perfect soundtrack for every Republican debutante's first S&M party. The first track 'Automatron' is a basic theme of boy meets girl, boy loves girl, boy finds out girl is merely a whiny, self-pitying robot. In a jungle full of plasticine monster drummers (naturally) 'Fuckingmachines' pays tribute to the comedic value of the net's most deranged sites (winter in Winnipeg is very long), with a definite nod to the first release on Zod Records. Side two is one track with the mood-altering title of 'War Machines / Mousemachines.' The former being a trip to the dentist with Goldie meets the Daleks on the pay-per-view Violence Channel, the latter a tripped-out half-side of slower grooves depicting a large metal ball rolling around your head in a case of Xmas scotch."

Artist:	PUZZLEWEASEL
Title:	Farvel Til Slaegt Og Venner!
Label:	VIOLENT TURD (NEW ZEALAND)
Format:	12"
Price:	$7.50
Catalog #:	TURD 008EP

"Puzzleweasel is 22-year-old Peter Dahlgren: born in Zürich, lived in Amsterdam and Stockholm, now residing in Aarhus, Denmark. Awakened early one somber Monday morning by a guy muttering about some Music-n-MIDI course starting a few minutes later, the Puzzleweasel was dragged into an in-depth study of Logic Audio (his current software weapon of choice) and studio technique. Combining this newly acquired knowledge with early musical influences (the twistedness of Texas Faggott, Nam Shub of Enki, the beats of Noia DnB, and the intensity of harsh noise), his ambition was to create what was then lacking in the Scandinavian scene: a full-frontal attack on the dancefloor. Mixing crispy sounds with harsh schizophrenic beats, this tight, four-track EP is an excellent showcase of Puzzleweasel's skillz. Soundwise, these tracks fall somewhere between Richard Devine and Venetian Snares, with a playful sci-fi edge and an unabashed love of throbbing jungle basslines and snarerushes à la Squarepusher and Aphex Twin."

Artist:	DJ RUPTURE VS. MUTAMASSIK
Title:	Shotgun Wedding Vol. 1: The Bidoun Sessions
Label:	VIOLENT TURD (NEW ZEALAND)
Format:	CD
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	TURD 009CD

"The Bidoun Sessions commemorates performances with The Bidoun Crew in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (Mutamassik in 2002, Rupture in 2004). Available outside the Middle East for the first time, this CD inaugurates Violent Turd's 'Shotgun Wedding' split DJ mix series. Easy labels such as 'postcolonial party music' or 'hardcore world beat' fail to describe DJs Rupture and Mutamassik's forward-looking Diasporal breakbeats. Hip hop, dancehall, and drum'n'bass meet in Beirut while chopper blades whir overhead. Rupture's blazing half-hour Bidoun session fuses hot new orientalist dancehall and battle-grade hiphop with Arabic vocals and instrumentation, soul divas, and a dusting of break-core grit. Mutamassik's 'Bidoun Session' scratches and mashes Upper Nile Sa'aidi, old-skool rap instrumentals, hardstep D-and-B, and underground rai hits into a serious, rooted mix of relentless rhythms from pan-Afro-Arabic immigrant sound sources."

Artist:	TEAM SHADETEK
Title:	WHST: Radio Mix
Label:	VIOLENT TURD (NEW ZEALAND)
Format:	CD
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	TURD 010CD

"The first publicly available mix tape from Shadetek label operators Soze and Zats1, WSHT: Radio Mix catalogs the rotation sheet for an imaginary radio station with an outernational footprint. Originating in Team Shadetek's own SHTBox studios in Manhattan and relayed via New Zealand, WSHT blazes hip hop, noise and R&B (although, due to sketchy broadcasting techniques, lord knows what else might seep through the cracks). The tracks in heavy rotation at WSHT, unlike competing Manhattan-based radio stations, are not chosen by fat briefcases of cash. Instead, they reflect links between artists who don't know they're connected. There are also a number of exclusive original Shadetek productions as well as tunes from SHT affiliates which you will have a very difficult time finding anywhere else."

Artist:	DOORMOUSE
Title:	Method/Freaked Out Mess
Label:	VIOLENT TURD (NEW ZEALAND)
Format:	2CD
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	TURD 011CD

"A ridiculously excessive, two-fisted tour de force priced way to low, Doormouse's carefully crafted and long-awaited mix double-CD may be Violent Turd's crowning achievement. The Method liquefies every conceivable style of music in a blender for 55 minutes. From Venetian Snares to DJ Quik, Tom Waits to AFX, everything is mashed up into a crazily cohesive mix that takes you up, down, all around and then back for more. Think jazz death metal funk post jungle. Freaked Out Mess is the third full length for Doormouse (following The Album? on Addict and Broken on Planet Mu). Once again, all styles are fair game. Check the Latin-infused opening track 'Crustomer,' followed by the pummeling speed of 'Face In The Gutter,' or the spastic jazz of 'Back Door Blues,' or the full-on Black Sabbath tribute 'Warpigs,' also featured on the Planet-Mu's Criminal 2 comp."

Artist:	MOCHIPET
Title:	Combat
Label:	VIOLENT TURD (NEW ZEALAND)
Format:	CD
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	TURD 012CD

"Just when you thought Darwinism was dead, Mochipet mutates music into an indefinable force that dumbfounds the best Scrabble players. With, ahem, songs like 'White Stripes vs. Berry White vs. White Lion' and 'Neil Diamond vs. King Diamond vs. The Lion King,' this CD not only explodes musical genres, it takes deconstructionism to a whole new level of insanity. Your brain... a blender... a big, fat, mushy, musical rice cake. If you could ever imagine Frank Zappa marrying Aphex Twin and having surrogate children by the likes of NoMeansNo, Yes, Wang Chung, Johnny Cash, DJ Qbert, Nelly and ThunderCats, then you can picture Mochipet's Violent Turd debut."

Artist:	DEV/NULL
Title:	E Boyz Revenge: 230 BPM Eternal
Label:	VIOLENT TURD (NEW ZEALAND)
Format:	12"
Price:	$8.00
Catalog #:	TURD 013EP

"Having lurked in the break-core maximum-fuckedbeat underground for years, Boston's Dev/Null finally releases a debut 12-inch; extreme rave noise is the rule here, where bits and pieces of classic rave hardcore and old-school jungle (including Human Resource, The Prodigy, Joey Beltram, Sub Base Records, and 2 Bad Mice) are yanked from their surroundings and forced to share the frequency spectrum with ultra-jarring, obsessive-compulsive blastbreaks. The result is a noise/beats extravaganza on par with Venetian Snares."

Artist:	KNIFEHANDCHOP VS. DJ ANEURYSM
Title:	Evil Doppelganger
Label:	VIOLENT TURD (NEW ZEALAND)
Format:	CD
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	TURD 014CD

"In the second installment of, 'Shotgun Wedding' -- Violent Turd's strictly limited virtual soundclash series -- DJ Combat gets taken to the next level with Toronto's Knifehandchop pitted against Oakland's DJ Aneurysm in a fever-pitched hardcore massacre. Comes correct with a 40-minute mashup that mixes the sleazy pop of Khia, Daft Punk, RZA and Kool Moe Dee with the best hardcore hits from his own back catalogue, and unreleased friends' tracks. DJ Aneurysm, musical mastermind of Switchcraft Records and winner of many underground hardcore / noise / gabber turntablist contests, takes things to a more multidimensional level of perversion, constantly mixing between turntables and laptops, combining DSP and scratching, and mixing in lots of his own new tracks over the best hard techno and grimy hiphop, jungle and gabber."

Artist:	KID606/CEX
Title:	Shotgun Wedding Vol. 3: Oh So Now You Fuckers Wanna Dance?
Label:	VIOLENT TURD (NEW ZEALAND)
Format:	CD
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	TURD 015CD

"The third and funkiest installment in Violent Turd's strictly limited edition 'Shotgun Wedding' series of mix CDs is a call to all your emo-gone-electro ex-roommates and record collector best friends to get over it, grind, stomp, bounce, and get sleazy. This 80-minute collection comprised of three separate DJ mixes of Pitbull-esque screaming rapcore, addictive bootybass, and uber-hot dancehall riddims will have them making flash cards of their side-street cat calls."

Artist:	DROP THE LIME VS.SYRUP GIRLS
Title:	Shotgun Wedding Volume 4
Label:	VIOLENT TURD (NEW ZEALAND)
Format:	CD
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	TURD 017CD

"DTL's mix is a ride into the sounds that have inspired and influenced him as a producer. Using three turntables, he mixes old-skool jungle classics screwed down to 33 over crunk and growling dubstep, 4x4 ghettotech over hip-hop all-star jams pitched up to 45, and Billie Holiday a capellas over swooning, melodic soundscapes. Basically, it's totally insane. Flip to track two, and the Syrup Girls drop bullets on the decks and flames to the floor, making ill bootlegs, nasty 4x4 garage, B'more club jams, favela funk and grime sound like they've always belonged together."

Artist:	DJ RUPTURE VS. FILASTINE
Title:	Shotgun Wedding Volume Six
Label:	VIOLENT TURD (NEW ZEALAND)
Format:	CD
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	TURD 019CD

"At long last DJ Rupture returns to the Shotgun Wedding mix series he kicked off, this time soundclashing world-class/no-class audio pirate, Filastine. Each contributes thirty minutes of whirled music, scattering booty by turns grimy and sublime. The curiously titled 'Secret Google Cheat Codes' mix captures Rupture in full-on party bashment mode, mixing some of the hottest moments from his recent U.S. tour with legendary anarcho-punks The Ex. But wait, after Vybz and Timberlake and Angolan kuduro booty jams, is that Neko Case? Whatever it is, it all makes sense. Rupture is the opposite of eclectism, a DJ so focused it hurts. Hot off his debut album on Soot Records, Filastine's first solo DJ session blends mental Balkan brass in odd time signatures with dubstep, breakcore, a murky Romanian diva, and Turkic hip-hop. The mix bumps with exclusive and vinyl-only Filastine remixes and riddims by international beatsmiths, laced with Filastine's personal field recordings gathered from Budapest to Istanbul. Why the fistfight? The region where brass orchestras swap sounds with Islamic troubadours and gypsy bands has recently seen the far-right pushing hard with concepts of ethnic purity and nationalism. In response, Filastine slams us with a conceptual counterpunch. Like his fan-winning stage performances blending future beats and live percussion, it'll blow your mind wide open."

Artist:	DE LUCA VS. PHON.O, CHRIS
Title:	Shotgun Wedding Vol. 7: Wedding Wow
Label:	VIOLENT TURD (NEW ZEALAND)
Format:	CD
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	TURD 020CD

"The first Shotgun Wedding release to match bandmate against bandmate! As Funkstörung, Chris de Luca and partner Michael Fakesch released an uncountable amount of records while there remixes for Björk, Wu-Tang Clan, Speedy J and Plaid attracted worldwide attention. In 2002, de Luca intensely lived out his love for hip hop with friend Peabird on his first solo album Deadly Wiz Da Disko.Then De Luca moved to Berlin and Funkstörung split up. It was destiny for De Luca to soon pair up with Phon.o!, Glitch-hop hero of labels like Cytrax, Detroit Underground, Normoton, Tigerbeat6 and T.Raumschmiere's Shitkatapult. Currently, the two are locked inside a studio working like crazy fuckers to finish their debut album, but they couldn't pass up the chance to make this old school styled hip-hop battle mix CD for Violent Turd! Chris de Luca's mix is filled with hits hits hits, all seriously cranked up and tweaked out to blend with new unreleased material while Phon.o took the old skool approach using just turntables and mixing classic house, chart hits and pitched-up dirty ghetto tracks for what he likes to call %100 pure booty shit!"
